KAMES
Kames is a tiny little village on the west coast of Scotland in Argyll & Bute. Along with the neighboring village of Tighnabruaich, it offers a tranquil gataway for sailors, fishermen and folks who just want to enjoy the view. It is a popular weekend cruising destination and a great stop over on the way north to the West Highlands via the Crinan Canal. Tucked away in a small corner of the south west of Cowal Peninsula. Here on Argyll's Secret Coast you will find the most stunning scenery at every turn.
 
DIRECTION
Getting here by road (from Glasgow)
This fabulous drive takes you up the side of Loch Lomond, through the Arrochar Alps and over the world-famous Rest and Be Thankful. The final stretch winds along the coast with the Kyles of Bute stretching out ahead. There are some wonderful viewpoints dotted along this road. Take the A82 along Loch Lomond to Tarbet, then the A83 towards Inveraray and Campbeltown. At Cairndow, turn left on to the A815, then at Strachur turn right on to the A886, signposted Glendaruel and Colintraive. Just after Glendaruel turn right onto the A8003 towards Tighnabruaich. Once in Tighnabruaich follow signs for Kames and then to the Kyles Hotel. The cottage is below the hotel on the shore road.

Getting here by road and ferry
Another option is to get the ferry from Gourock to Dunoon and enjoy a drive through remote, mountainous country. The writer Iain Banks reckons it’s one of best wee roads in Scotland. You then pick up the same coastal road as above. Take the A8 to Gourock, then Western Ferries from McInroy’s Point to Hunter’s Quay near Dunoon. Turn right on to A815, then shortly after leaving the 40mph area, turn left on B836, a winding single track road with passing places. After about 17 miles, turn right on A886, then left on A8003 towards Tighnabruaich.

Another great holiday
5/5 Upfront Reviews - June 2023
This is our third time in Pier Cottage on the stunning Kyles of Bute. We regard this place as our home from home. The historic building is comfortable, the owners are very accommodating and the situation on the beach is idyllic. Can’t wait to return.
 
The short break we had was what we expected and more due to the location of the accommodation

Beautiful, clean with everything you need.
Just perfect for a quiet getaway.

The perfect place to destress.
