We don't often get the chance to Inverarary, but when we do we always go to see Andy the owner, he never forgets a face and is a welcome sight to him every time we visit. His shop is much more better than loch fyne whiskies and you get much more than just buying whisky it's an education. Love Andy and hope he's still there in years to come.

What a wonderfully welcoming shop. A really warm welcome awaited us the moment we walked through the door. Bonnie, the owners' dog had been for her morning swim and was dozing happily on a chair. Wonderful selection of gifts in all price ranges. I aimed straight for the puffin items as that's my 'hot spot', but, having chosen a couple of pieces to bring home, I still found other fabulous gifts for friends. I understand this is a fairly new shop, but the owners have really hit the mark. A truly MUST VISIT shop - you won't be disappointed. Thank you to Julie the owner for making us so welcome. I have also taken advantage of their mail order service since coming home.

Inveraray's only all year round Christmas shop was opened in 2010. Filled with lots of special memories for your Christmas tree. We stock scents, toys, cards and lots more. On the run up to Easter we also stock Easter tree decorations for those who can't resist. We are a small family run business and we aim to be open 6 days a week with reduced hours in the winter time.

Went in for a particular malt, was recommended one as better than its more expensive bottlings which is definitely true! Large selection, knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Stumbled across this shop and noticed three sell some bits for men such as beard oil and soap. Reasonably priced so thought I’d give it a go. Amazed! By a mile the best product I have ever used and this includes Kielhs beard out which is over £40 and half the size. The quality of the product was obvious from the 1st use and only gets better with time. I recommend all beardies ditch what they are using for a bit and give this a go. The fragrance is amazing too and actually quite therapeutic, especially the lavender and menthol as I was feeling poorly and feel so much better. Such a great product, both the oils and the soap.
