In the centre of Tighnabruaich village, this place offers a touch of eclecticism focused on solid British ingredients, with simple classics like asparagus with Bearnaise sauce making a lovely lunchtime treat, and a changing dinner menu featuring locally landed fish. Understandably, it tends to pack out for dinner, so it's best to book. It also has four rooms available.
