Description

Formerly an 18th-century ferry inn for farmers and livestock going to market, this small but sophisticated country-house style hotel benefits from superlative views of Loch Linnhe and is located on the edge of the Sound of Lismore. Low ceilings, rich fabrics and candlelit tables coupled with large windows to drink in the surroundings make for a relaxed and romantic atmosphere. The very short menu is modern British with Scottish and French influences. Fish and seafood comes fresh from the Oban fishing boats and the small kitchen team sets great store by seasonality. Combinations are uncomplicated allowing the clean, clear flavours of the superior local ingredients to shine through. Hand-dived local scallops with Stornoway black pudding and grape chutney might start, followed by local turbot and salmon wrapped in pastry with mushroom, served with a beurre blanc, while desserts include marbled chocolate cake with orange sauce. Service is formal but not stuffy, and the wine list has something for the most erudite of wine drinkers.
