The Old Inn

My dinner at the Old Inn was an added bonus to my travels in Scotland. My ribeye steak was cooked exactly as I like it and the flavor was truly mouth watering. The building shows the charm of its historic past and the views outside leave nothing to the imagination. Don't miss the opportunity to dine here and as quiet as the area seems, you'll want to make a reservation. I was a party of one and they got me in yet if I arrived 30min later, it's very likely I'd have had quite the wait as it's not a place you want to rush through your meal. I will return.

An amazing place to visit, first of all, the view of the castle is spectacular, then you walk into a very cosy restaurant and the smell of the stake cooking hits you! You have made it to 'The Old Inn' . Take your seats and immerse yourself into the atmosphere of a top-notch stake house. The staff are so welcoming as a party of 8 people and 2 dog's, we was all catered for! We all loved the food and just really enjoyed the atmosphere of the whole stake house. The character of the building and the breathtaking view just added to it all. If you are going to Scotland (near Port Appin) 'The Old Inn' is a must, make sure you book yourself a table and enjoy your time at the best stake house in Scotland. Thankyou to all the staff for taking such good care of us all and making a fuss over the dog's.

Little gem of a place nestled down a sloping road, and from the outside, you'd think it was old and run down so you'd never bother. Wrong! The Old Inn is a is a small intimate ,quaint restaurant in Appin that I now know of.. I'd heard rumours... As you go through the first door, it's dark and a bit shaby but you enter the restaurant and you are greeted with a warm glowing room, fairy lights dawn the ceiling and bottles dripped with candle wax offer a warm cosy glow. The wood burning stove also provides an ambience of heat and light. The mood is friendly and warm, and the dress code is casual. I felt overdressed,but I do like to smarten up for dinner out with friends. We ordered drinks at the bar, which is self is rust and so cool. The lovely young lady came with our drinks and we ordered. 11oz ribeye for me a my friend ordered the same. The menu is a simple no frills chalkboard on the wall with a selection of cuts to choose from with the oz's and price. Other options are available, but steak is the winner here. I've been waiting all day for this, so when it arrived, my mouth was watering. The presentation was brilliant. It matches the rustic barn, simplistic and straight-up. Steak on a wooden slab, fries a little salad garnish, and the BEST peppercorn sauce. The first bite was heaven. Chips lovely and seasoned and the garnish of rocket I could easily had a larger portion. The steak itself was perfection. Cooked very well, and a prized piece of meat. Dessert was bailey's cheesecake. While I was in a bit of a food coma, I couldn't pass up the cheesecake. So light and fluffy,whipped to perfection it was perfect for ending the meal. Now, this isn't a cheap pan-fried steak from a chain pub. This was a delicious, worth the price meal. I don't mind paying for good food, and THIS was 100% worth paying for.

This place was excellent. From the outside it doesn’t look much but once you get inside it’s got a cosy inviting atmosphere. The food was delicious. We had one fillet and one ribeye. Both were succulent and melted in the mouth. Sides were also fantastic and both had the sticky toffee pudding to finish. The chips were superb 👌🏼
