'Beautifully set' on the remote Kintyre peninsula, this unpretentious small restaurant-with-rooms is liked for the 'amazing scenery, great hospitality and sublime food'. 'It has a happy atmosphere,' write inspectors in 2009. 'Accommodation is simple but much more than adequate. Service is deft, unobtrusive and highly personal.' A Michelin Bib Gourmand, for good cooking at moderate prices, goes to co-owner Clare Johnson ('we like to keep things simple, emphasis on seafood in summer, red meat and game in winter'), now assisted by Tom Holloway. Her partner, David Wilson, is 'on hand to provide ideas for beach walks and local whisky', and 'runs front-of-house with friendly efficiency'. Beams and bare stone walls with local artwork 'give plenty of character' to the two dining rooms (there is no lounge). 'Langoustines caught that morning; rack of blackface lamb - both a triumph. Vegetables sometimes let down a meal: not here; all were splendid.' 'Hearty' breakfasts include smoothies, scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, home-made marmalade. The 'stylish, modern' bedrooms (one more this year) in adjacent single-storey buildings are 'immaculate' and have their own small hallway, a shower, and 'melt-in-the-mouth home-made ginger biscuits'. A good base for trips to Arran, Gigha, walking, sailing, seeing otters and 'fabulous sunsets'. (Margaret and Marc Wall, Robert and Shirley Lyne, and others)
