Mid Argyll, Kintyre & Islay Meadhan Earra-Ghàidheal, Cinn Tìre & Ìle A sense of majesty permeates the landscapes of Mid Argyll, Kintyre & Islay. These founding lands were settled by people who travelled across the seas from Ireland in the sixth century. Here the nation of Scotland was forged by the kings who set up home at Dunadd Fort near Kilmartin.

Burial cairns, standing stones, castles and fortified strongholds keep the ancient heritage alive, while the Gaelic culture, which was nurtured here, is still evident in everyday life and can be identified in place names such as Loch Caolisport, Fyne and Gainmheach.

Here you can begin the Seafood Trail, taking in several of the member establishments, or simply savour sumptuous flavours at the Loch Fyne Oyster Bar where it all began. Indulge in lobster, try beautifully cooked langoustines and enjoy a selection of wines and desserts to complement the main dishes. Menus vary depending upon the season but whenever you choose to visit, there will always be something to tempt your tastebuds.

by John Simpson in 1779, few places in the world can offer such variety of drams.

Scotland’s Star Quality!

- A simple, impartial, consistent approach to quality

VisitScotland, under the Scottish Tourist Board brand, runs the star grading schemes which assess the quality standards of all types of accommodation and visitor attractions from castles and historic houses to garden centres and arts venues. We quality assure over 70 percent of the accommodation in Scotland and 90 percent of the visitor attractions – so wherever you want to stay or visit, we’ve got it covered. Each establishment is reviewed once a year.

We do the hard work so you can relax and enjoy your holiday.

How does the system work?

Graded visitor attractions

A consistent standard wherever you stay

Visitor attractions from tourist shops and museums to leisure centres and tours are graded with 1 - 5 stars depending on their level of customer care. The focus is on the standard of hospitality and service as well as presentation, quality of shop or cafĂŠ (if there is one) and toilet facilities.

The promise of the stars:

Â?

it is clean, tidy and an acceptable standard

Â?Â? Â?Â?Â?

it is a good, all round standard

Â?Â?Â?Â?

it is excellent – furnished using high quality materials, superb food where provided and friendly, professional service

it is a very good standard, with attention to detail in every area

Our advisors visit and assess establishments on up to 50 areas from quality, comfort and cleanliness to welcome, ambience and service. The same star scheme runs in England and Wales, so you can follow the stars wherever you go.

Â?Â?Â?Â?Â? an exceptional standard where

It should be noted that those establishments that fail to meet our minimum standards will not be awarded a star rating.

Establishments awarded gold stars have consistently achieved the highest levels of excellence within their star grading.

presentation, ambience, food where provided and service are hard to fault

We grade all types of accommodation from hostels, through to B&Bs and self catering properties to hotels grand and small. We even grade campus accommodation and parks offering holiday homes and camping. So whether you prefer to spend the night under canvas or the canopy of a four-poster bed, we’ll make sure you know the standard to expect.

Quality Award

Booking Accepting accommodation by telephone or in writing means you have entered into a legally binding contract with the proprietor of the establishment. If you cancel or fail to take up that accommodation, for whatever reason, the proprietor generally has the right to ask for compensation. You should always check the cancellation terms in advance and, if you must cancel a booking, advise the management immediately.

Smoking The majority of Scotland’s indoor public places, including pubs, restaurants and cafés are smokefree by law, creating a healthier and fresher environment for residents and visitors to our beautiful country. Hotels, B&Bs and guest houses are also smoke-free but can designate bedrooms where guests can smoke, if they wish to do so.

To check the availability of such bedrooms, please check with the establishment directly when booking. For further information, visit www.clearingtheairscotland.com

Insurance & cancellations Should you have to cancel for any reason, it is reassuring to know that you can be insured against any compensation claim. Please ensure you take out cancellation insurance prior to your trip.

Pricing The prices of accommodation, services and facilities stated in this guide are based on information received from the relevant advertisers.

Please note that the prices are per person per night, include VAT where applicable and are for your guidance only (VAT as at November 2011).

Please check prices when you book accommodation and confirm exactly what the quoted price includes.

For added assurance of quality and standards, all accommodation establishments display a Quality Assurance Award. The scheme is explained on pages 18 and 19.

Our spectacular sea-shore location enjoys ever changing sea views to the Island of Mull. The two luxury toilet blocks with disabled room, parent and baby room and information room provide the very best facilities. The park provides an ideal base for those who want to sail, water-ski, canoe or fish, cycle on the quiet side roads or tackle the mountains nearby and grab a Munro. For a quieter holiday there are gardens and castles, and for those who just want to chill-out, the park provides a quiet location to enjoy the view and take a gentle stroll along the two miles of shore.
