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.
