We were passing through Inveraray and thought we’d stop off for a bit of lunch…. And thank our lucky stars we came across Brambles. As soon as we walked through the door, the vibe was lovely, friendly and attentive. We popped ourselves down, looked at the menu and all the home baking. Homemade sausage roll, Victoria Sponge and fruit scone ordered. OMG absolute delicious My wife said the scone was the best ever, the very best ever. light, tasty, fruity. The Victoria sponge was light, tasty and so moreish and the sausage roll… WOW yummy. It was such a wonderful experience from the food and drink to the atmosphere, happy worked and Heather was just so kind and helpful. If you passing, don’t pass this place and if you’re not passing, make a detour to Brambles of Inveraray, you won’t be disappointed, believe me AAA+++

We came to Tobermory on a very wet day on an organised tour. We were looking for somewhere to get a hot drink. Everywhere was full due to the weather. After a walk around we noticed a table was now vacant and my husband sat down. I went to the counter to order a cappuccino and a hot chocolate where it was chaotic. No hello or greeting just told how much they wanted from me. My hot chocolate was very lumpy with powdery bits all at the bottom of the cup. I paid cash and was given no receipt. Dreary interior. Left feeling like a nuisance and when saying goodbye no response. My husband and I got the same treatment from other places in Tobermory and other people we were with said this place doesn’t like tourists. Well fair enough we will never ever visit again. Good luck just serve the locals and don’t dare be polite as looking at reviews you get a robust response.

Lovely example of a great seafood restaurant on the gorgeous island of Gigha. Easy access from the ferry dock, we sat outside and food was really good and prices were ok

Had a beautiful meal. View was amazing. We were able to sit outside and enjoy the view. Food was delicious and great choice for gluten and dairy intolerant

Visited to celebrate a friend’s birthday. The setting on the shore of Loch Fyne overlooking the ruin of Castle Lachlan is stunning and we were able to enjoy a bottle of fizz outside our shepherds huts where we would be spending the night. After a late afternoon stroll to the castle ruins we were ready for our dinner. The tasting menu served in the evening is locally sourced and is probably the best I have ever tasted. We chose the wine pairing which was excellent and presented beautifully. After a great nights sleep breakfast is delivered to your accommodation and this is another delight. Cannot fault this place

Popped in for lunch after getting a recommendation from a friend. Friendly staff, lovely decor and great location. Plenty of choice on the menu and everything g we ordered was excellent. Highly recommended.

WE have eaten here in the past and certainly this year as good as before We ate here for 7 nights an excellent menu of quailty food Staff excellent at all times we had no issues at any time Good selection of drinks at reasonable cost

Another lovely meal, fish and chips were amazing!!! Excellent service, can’t wait to go back. Can highly recommend!! Get booked in folks.

The restaurant has basic pub style décor. They only offered raw oyster on the menu and when I asked if I could have the oysters grilled or roasted, I was told the chef does not know how to do that. How is that even possible? If I could have, I would have gone into the kitchen and done it myself. As a starter, my husband ordered the raw oysters, and we both ordered clam as our main. The clams were nothing but ok, and not nearly as good as the ones we had at Sea Salt Bistro. What a bust this restaurant was. So sorry we did not stick to our original choice for dinner and did not follow a recommendation to dine here.

Been coming to Islay for years. Look forward to eating here on our annual trip. always a favourite with Mom, Dad and children. This year not so much. Something has clearly gone wrong. staff were miserable and food well even more miserable. Tasteless with no thought or care gone into it. we were so so sad to see this happen to Ardbeg and we wondered why? when owned by such a big luxury corporation LVMH this experience was anything but luxury.

Lovely welcoming coffee stop within beautifully kept estate. Highly recommend. A long road in but worth it. Closed on a Tuesday.

We sailed to Skipness Bay, anchored and took the dinghy to the beach. The short walk to the cabin took us past the smokehouse where there is a shop. The weather was unseasonably warm so we dined alfresco. The seafood platter for two arrived fairly quickly after ordering and it was fantastic! Langoustines, gravlax, crab, hot smoked salmon, mussels and a side of bread washed down with an Arran beer and a small Sancerre. Can’t recommend this place highly enough, a real gem in the Scottish food crown.

Good food overlooking the marina in croabh haven. The menu had lots to choose from and staff were very helpful. Be careful to check opening times especially out with high season.
