Over on the Isle of Bute is one of our favourite coastal walks. It's not too strenuous but you will need strong footwear. It's a safe walk for children and dogs. You can walk as much or as little as you like. There's great views all the way. Rothesay has lots of places to eat. We love Helmi's! Delicious wraps and savouries.

We love Helmi's! It's worth a trip to Rothesay just to fill up on their delicious wraps, cakes, savouries and sweets. Perfect for fuelling up before heading to Kilchattan Bay to walk The West Island Way or to reward yourself after.

The Tryst is worth looking for in Dunoon. It's tucked away at the back of the main street but it's a busy, family friendly bar. We like to sit in the booths when we go for a meal and the menu has lots of interesting dishes. Our current favourites are the salmon pakora and the tattie scone nachos. Definitely worth visiting if you're in Dunoon for a meal.

This is a family friendly pub, four miles from Leac Na Sith. They serve good traditional pub grub and the steak pie is our favourite dish. The meat is slow cooked and the pastry is really light. Delicious!
