The Old Inn

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.

Fabulous steak in a really atmospheric inn! Loved the simplicity of the menu as the steak is done to perfection! Staff are really friendly and the service is excellent. Booking essential but you will not be disappointed!

Absolutely delicious and worth every penny , probably the best meal I've had and we were very impressed and can't wait to go back! Steak was cooked beautifully and was massive (sirlion) will definitely be trying the t bone steak next time, the sauce was so rich and creamy and the chips are homemade.

We didn't really anticipate having to book for a meal at The Old Inn by Appin on a dark Tuesday evening in late October (2023). But it turns out we did ... and we are so glad we managed to secure a table. We were offered an early 17.30 table or a later 20.00 sitting - we chose the latter. The restaurant was perfect for us and our young Border Collie dog, Jura. It was rustic, homely, and very authentic. The staff were brilliant - super attentive to us humans and our wee dog. Nothing was too much trouble. The other patrons were also so friendly. The star of the evening was undoubtedly the food - we both had 10 ounce fillet steaks - which were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection (medium rare) and melt in the mouth. The Sticky Toffee Pudding to follow was one of the best we've tried. All in all ... it was a fantastic evening. We highly recommend The Old Inn - and will be back as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed. Thank you ... The Old Inn

A lovely pub / restaurant the starter was delicious, ordered steak for my main what can i say it was tough as old boots i had an apology and my next steak was on the house which was great, but sadly its was much the same as the last one. For a steak house i was very disappointed. Apart from that a lovely place, great atmosphere.

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.

Very welcoming, lovely atmosphere, delicious steak etc. Friendly staff, Highly recommend and will definitely be back. Great view towards Castle Stalker.

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 unreal feed at The Old Inn!!! The staff were incredible when my son got stung by a wasp and one of the girls ensured we had what we needed to ease the pain from the string. The views of Castle Stalker are just amazing and it’s such a relaxing place. Most of our group were from New Zealand and they though the food and experience was just 10/10.
