on the island for a day trip and ended up here, was really surprised how great it was, all the tables were full and the sun was shinning. we ate like kings, squid prawns and lobster, all absolutely fantastic. cant wait to go back and what a view

What a combination - a beachside camping area and a decent restaurant! We ate here twice and enjoyed the food on both occasions. The confit de canard with black pudding and roast sweet potato was rich and delicious, washed down with a bottle of 80 shilling brewed on nearby Colonsay. Top-notch fuel for a hard day's paddling.
