This Lamlash dining room consists of a suite of elegant chambers, some with views across to Holy Island. It's a pleasant venue for competent, modern Scottish cuisine that confidently plates up langoustines, monkfish, duck breast and imaginative vegetarian creations. It's just the spot for a peaceful Arran dinner à deux. During the day there are cheaper bar meals, plus lovely outdoor seating.
