The Pierhouse Hotel

06/09/2026

Cosy scenes from around Appin and some of our history ♥️

The Pierhouse began its life in the 19th century as the residence of the Port Appin Pier Master. The pier was built to service the steamboats that travelled up and down Loch Linnhe.

When the west highland road and railway infrastructures became more efficient, the steamboat trade all but disappeared and the Pierhouse was sold and became a private house.

The Pierhouse Hotel proper came into being when the purpose built hotel wing was added in 1992. The demand for fresh seafood led to the restaurant extension in 1997 and in 2010 the interior was further reworked to create our Lismore dining room.

The history in these very walls, in one of the most picturesque areas of Scotland makes us not just a hotel, but a real Scottish coastal experience.

Last minute availability for tonight! 🦞🌊

Due to a couple of cancellations, we have a twin sea view room and a superior sea view room available for this evening, a Friday… which almost never happens in August 😂

If you’re reading this right now and thinking, “could this be for me?” You would be correct😉. A Friday evening at a coastal escape on the west coast with only the best local food and only the freshest sea breeze, will do you wonders.

A grey day in Scotland 🩶

Of course we love a sunny day on the west coast but Scotland really does come into her own when the weather’s just that bit moody. Everything looks so much more atmospheric.

So a reminder to explore, whatever the weather 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
