A very well stocked gallery with lots of gift ideas along with cards, books, maps and local art works. Also locally produced soaps and hand / face creams etc. Well worth a browse round.

We were lucky enough to visit Tarbert in mid-August when it was extremely hot, fantastic weather. We followed our noses and walked up past the car ferry point and continued up the road to the very end, where there is a bench and a small memorial for some ‘lost at sea’ sailors. My daughter and I felt the urge to scale the coastal rocks here and were rewarded by finding Shell Beach - we then worked our way back to the rest of our party via the hillside woodland path - it comes out 180 degrees behind the bench/memorial - it’s very hard to see if you don’t know it’s there. We spent 90mins on this beach as if it were our own private beach and suntrap - absolutely idyllic - don’t miss it, one of our holiday highlights!

Was very easy to look-up online the ferry timetables and prices. Also we followed CalMac on Twitter so kept up to date with issues and delays. Loved the ferries, made the holiday an adventure for us. We did Colintraive to Isle of Bute return in a morning, literally a 5 min crossing. We laughed the safety instructions finished just as we docked. We also did Portavadie to Tarbert return in a day. This crossing is about 30 minutes and more exposed water so can be a little choppy, we got some sea water thrown onto the car which added to the adventure. We had no issues in September 2020 during COVID19 rocking up and boarding straight away. Can imagine peak times they get busy. The cost of ferries can add up but it’s part of the holiday experience I would recommend following them on Twitter to keep informed of issues and delays

A short walk up the hill from the harbour is the Royal Castle of Tarbert. Worth the short climb to see the views over the bay...and beyond on a good day. Worth a visit...
