    We had a really nice meal for 2 while staying here. Scallops and black pudding to start. Steak and cod for mains. It was all really tasty. The staff were very helpful and created a nice relaxing dinning experience. After dinner we sat up stairs with drink and enjoyed the amazing veiw. Can’t wait to come back

    Beautiful setting overlooking the marina a Loch Fyne beyond. The restaurant is light and airy and the service friendly and accommodating. Requests are promptly and politely attended to bu the multicultural staff. The food was good for our diner, if a little overpriced in relation to the quality, which was good but not outstanding. The wine list was good but limited. When asked for a port to accompany the nice cheese platter, none was available, although the waiter was quick to offer instead a very reasonable late harvest Chardonnay which was pleasant as a post dinner wine. For breakfast we ordered a full Scottish breakfast which again was fine but could have been served in many a roadside cafe and was nothing special, with a square slice of quite ordinary sausage meat, a segment of something passing for a potato scone and a barely reasonable slice of black pudding. Again, the service staff were fantastic and made the experience worthwhile. It just could be so much better with a little more attention to the quality of the food. We’ll be back, however because the overall experience of the resort makes it worthwhile.

    Great breakfast, freshly prepared food. Good selection. Only complaint is that they need to make sure both continental food buffet and plates are replenished quickly enough for demand.

    The meal was fantastic, good food which hit the spot. Chicken and sticky toffee pudding was the choices of the evening and it was delicious. Service was also fantastic, very polite and attentive team.
