Truly an institution-from it's origins in a small shed in a lay-by at the top of Loch Fyne
in the early 80's, to it's current home in a gloriously converted byre at Clachan Farm.
Delicious food served throughout the day including wonderful shellfish and salmon-no visit to the Cowal and Loch Fyne would be complete without a meal here! www.lochfyne.co.uk
