A detached little cottage-looking bar and bistro, a sister place to the Eden Lodge Hotel. It is in a striking red render, with little dormer windows. The interior is a single room with the serving bar to the left on entry and the rest of the place accommodating plain wood tables. The decor is a red and wood panel, with white ceiling and stone floor. There is a nice stone fireplace. There was a TV, but it wasn't on at our visit, just some general background music. The walls have arty landscape and seashell pictures. The service was fine and the place was quite busy on both of my visits. We ate here and the food was fine - they do a good pizza offer. Beer; no real ale, keg stuff with Peroni. A range of Arran Brewery ales in bottles, but these are £3.95, so not cheap. Worth going in if eating. You can feel a little out of place if just drinking, although it welcomes drinkers.
