There are excellent and highly regarded restaurants in the area too at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar and the 3 star Rosette winning Inver Cottage is also located within the area.

A few 'essential shops are also located within walking distance - as is the Goil Inn pub with outside seating areas and views out over the bay.
