Activities
Many of our activities are water based; we have a good slipway for boat launching and maintain deep water moorings. Largiemore’s beach is gravel and stone and provides hours of entertainment for children gathering sea creatures from under the rocks.
There is good mackerel fishing in Loch Fyne from June through to September with the cod and haddock stocks showing signs of improvement and an occasional sea trout taken along the shoreline. Fresh water fly fishing is well catered for with day permits available on three local lochs managed by The Kyles of Bute Angling Club. The Dunoon & District Angling Club’s lochs require a slightly longer drive and Loch Fad on Bute has a good reputation for being well stocked with big fish.
Restaurants
Largimore is lucky to be situated between 2 amazing restaurants. The Oystercatcher is within 25 minutes walking distance among the shore to Otter Ferry.
The Oystercatcher
The Oystercatcher is a relaxed, contemporary pub & restaurant on the East banks of Loch Fyne. They stock a large range of small batch gin & specialise in local seafood.
You can expect a friendly welcome and lovingly prepared, locally sourced food: they are proud to showcase the pantry of the Cowal Peninsula and Argyll. On the menu you'll find Ballimore Oysters and Evanachan cheese both from within a mile, local mussels and crab, and meat from the surrounding farms of Loch Fyne.
In the bar they have an extensive list of single malt whisky and small batch gin.
All this can be enjoyed in their restaurant, dog-friendly bar or loch side in the outdoor dining area.
Inver
Inver is a small, characterful restaurant on the shores of Loch Fyne, on Scotland’s west coast.
Their a la carte dinner and lunch menus feature simply prepared fresh seafood and native meat and game in season. They have a cosy bar serving pre-dinner craft ale, natural wine, and fancy drinks. In the evening they also serve a four-course tasting menu. Using current cooking techniques and the very best local wild and farmed ingredients they offer a contemporary take on traditional and forgotten Scottish dishes.
Pam and Rob took over in spring 2015 and with their friends and family have built the sort of place they like to spend time. We hope that you will too.
Local Wildlife
Largiemore is an ideal location to view Argyll's wildlife with a diversity of species regularly visiting the site and observed through the chalet windows. Ornithologists love our variety of wild birds ranging from the finches, woodpeckers and tits that grace our bird tables to the many birds of prey that are ever present. Loch Fyne is home to a large colony of eider ducks and many other types of sea bird and waders.
On the loch, common and grey seals are resident all year, as are several small pods of porpoises with dolphins and whales making an occasional appearance.
Golf
Most of our local golf clubs welcome visitors, including the Kyles of Bute Golf Club at Tighnabruaich, which has a nine hole course with views over the Kyles. There are also courses at Dunoon, Innellan and Rothesay and the world famous links at Macrahanish are accessible via the Portavadie ferry.
Touring and Sightseeing
Tour the magnificent Kyles of Bute, visit the Younger Botanic Gardens, the garrison town of Inverary or the award winning Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute. Alternatively, drive a little further to the picturesque village of Crinan and on to Oban or cross on the nearby Portavadie ferry to Tarbert, the Mull of Kintyre and the Isle of Gigha with it’s famous gardens.
