I can't believe this place isn't already listed - perhaps it's the relatively out of the way location. Anyway, if you find yourself in the area and needing a pint, a gin, or a dram, then this place is worth the trip. If you are looking for somewhere to eat, don't look any further.
My first experience was popping in to use their wifi (the local mobile signal is all you'd expect) and they were friendly & helpful to a complete stranger - plus the beer was pretty decent.
My second experience was a few drinks with the crew after a course and we were all treated like friends by the staff - even before they know we were with one of their regulars. We ate there that night and all agreed the food was far better than we'd expected for such a tucked away place.
Put it this way; if they offered rooms (and I wasn't primarily going to be there for sailing) I would consider it a reasonable place to use as a holiday base. Come to think of it, perhaps my wife would like to spend some time there while I go out sailing...
A general tip for you all would be to use Tripadvisor to check places out. I've never been steered wrong by the consensus of reviews on there.
