    Location was perfect. The apartment was utterly gorgeous and wonderful to stay in. Kirstin was a fantastic host and was super helpful with everything. I wouldn’t hesitate in staying here on my next trip to Inverary.

    Right in the heart of the town, everything walkable including the market and the castle. Perfect size for 2 people. We took advantage of the discount at the Jail attraction which gave us a different view of the accommodations (the back side!)

The Old Jail Apartment, Inveraray Once Jail Cells dating back to the 19th Century they have served their time and now form a beautiful and unique 1 bedroom self catering apartment at heart of the historic town of Inveraray. An original part of Inveraray Jail which is now a popular tourist attraction adjoining the property which offers our guests a discount on entry.

The properties bathroom is located directly off the bedroom and is a bright contemporary space with a rainfall shower, basin and toilet.

You’ll get a glimpse of the beautiful view of Loch Fyne from the shoreline which lies just a few feet around the corner. There is a fully equipped kitchen with a small breakfast bar. Location The property is ideally situated, tucked in a quiet corner in the heart of the town, a stones throw from Inveraray’s main street with its shops, pubs and bistros, and the stunning Loch Fyne shoreline just around the corner. A short walk to Inveraray Castle and a perfect base to explore Inveraray and the stunning west coast.
History The apartment is a listed building which formed part of Inveraray Jail and the Old Police Station. It housed Debtors until their debts were settled and you’ll find nods everywhere to its past including the original bars on the entrance window. It then became jail employee accommodation and was once home to Neil Munro renowned novelist and poet of Parahandy fame who lived in the apartment as a boy. Additional Information The properly is located on the first floor up a set of stairs and therefore unfortunately may not be suitable for people with limited mobility. The living area is all on one level. With a young family ourselves we are delighted to welcome children. Please however note that there is no bath. We are happy to provide a baby bath and travel cot. About Me I live in Inveraray with my husband and young family.
