This former crofter’s cottage and boat store sits in a beautifully isolated spot on the shores of Loch Fyne. Sit on sheepskin-covered armchairs for a cocktail in the lounge-bar, then take in the view from the contemporary restaurant, where concise modern menus are led by the finest local and foraged ingredients, such as mackerel fished from the Loch itself – even the tea is grown at nearby Tighnabruich. The excellent non-alcoholic pairing includes homemade sodas and kombuchas, while luxurious bothy-style bedrooms are available if you want to explore the area further.

Cameron House, perched on the shores of Loch Lomond, will always provide picturesque surroundings for a restaurant. Experienced chef Graeme Cheevers is the one currently taking advantage of the natural beauty, with this welcoming eatery decked out with a touch of glitz thanks to marble furnishings and mirrored panels on the ceiling. Cheevers’ ethos of well-sourced ingredients is on display, as are plenty of contrasting flavours and inspiration drawn from various Asian cuisines – such as squab pigeon with an umeboshi-flavoured jus.
