Visited Kerrera island for a short walk while staying in Oban.
The ferry from north pier to the marina (£2.50 per person each way) was really easy, without having to get the bus out of town to the main ferry.
We walked up to Hutchinson Monument (quite boggy), and then in the opposite direction past the farmshop and back to the marina.
The Waypoint restaurant has a little honesty box based "coffee-and-cake" corner which is available even when the restaurant is not yet open. This is a lovely place to sit and relax while waiting for the return ferry - out of the elements, with great views.
All staff (the ferry boat drivers, restaurant staff etc) are all very friendly and welcoming.
You can book your ferry ride on the website, or just turn up.
Quite and lovely restaurant with beautiful scenery of the Oban harbor. Excellent Scottish food and drinks for reasonable price. Friendly and informative staff. It is so relaxing to have a lunch at outdoor table. In 2015, if you visit this restaurant for great food, you could take the ferry from Oban to here for free.
Unless you’re already moored in the marina (we weren’t), a short ferry ride (booked separately from Oban harbour) to this marina-side restaurant is the start of this lovely evening out. The establishment is a simple wooden building, and the kitchen a separate ‘shed’ next door. This adds to, rather from detracts from the setting. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere, friendly welcome and spectacular views back to the mainland. The menu is short, but the food is excellent and well presented. (There’s one veggie option, and several seafood choices).
We were able to sit in the restaurant, and because it was excellent weather, the doors were wide open allowing us a spectacular view across Oban harbour and all its activity.
There was even a friendly reminder from the staff, about half an hour before the last ferry back to the mainland, the journey on which, with a beautiful sunset, topped off the evening.
I’d fully recommend this as a venue to visit for a simple but lovely evening out.
