The village of Tarbert on Loch Fyne is
situated on the top of the Mull of Kintyre, Argyll. It has
two harbours, the main harbour on the east coast and across
the isthmus a pier at West Loch Tarbert. This busy little
fishing port has a lot to attract visitors not least of
which is the stunning scenery.
Many visitors who stay for a week or so,
use Tarbert as their base to explore this large peninsula,
its historic sites and of course the islands that lie just
off the coast such as Gigha, Islay and Jura on the west side
or the island of Arran to the east. Their is fishing,
walking, golf, cycling and of course fantastic wildlife
including birds of prey, deer, dolphins, basking sharks and
much more.
This
website has brought together Accommodation providers and other
businesses of Tarbert and nearby to allow you, the visitor, to get a
feel for the hospitality of the friendly people who live in this
area and therefore help you to decide to stay for a while.
Every year Tarbert is host to the Scottish
Series, Scotland's biggest sail racing event. The Race event lasts
for 4 days at the end of May each year, if you are thinking of
experiencing this great long weekend full of events and fun you
should book many months in advance as rooms are always fully booked
early.
Early July each year,
Tarbert puts on the now famous Tarbert Seafood Festival, with all
the local businesses supporting the event which attracts celebrity
chefs and more. This really is weekend of culnary delights and
entertainment. The seafood festival is an appropriate event for a
fishing port where you can eat seafood which was in the sea the
morning of your restaurant visit.
Later in the year, in
mid September, the village is again host to a festival, this time
its the Tarbert Music Festival. Fantastic Music playing in a large
number of venues. Visit our Festival
pages for further information.
