BLUEMOMENT

Last night I ate in the LOTI and was intrigued by a wee advert at the bottom of the menu announcing that they had taken over the Mishnish. I didn't think to ask how recent this was. Could be really good news, since for the last 10 years the Mish has been fairly dire. Anyone been in recently?

I am staying in the Mish at this very moment.... much improved. There is still building work going on, but in the background- no issues.
Staff look happy

The folk that own/run the LOTI know what they are doing so it should be good in the long run.

We were there this Summer and are happy with the improvements/refurbish. Evidently there was a lot of money spent on bits you can't see that were rotten. Gents bogs are almost a pleasure now.
Shame the boat park has moved to the other end of town, I used to like the idea of private stairs to the pub.

Some folk park on that end:

Are you unable to use the metal steps now ?

a bit rusty last time I looked. Easier to walk round the street I think. Got the dinghy trapped under them by the tide a few years ago. A nice man took the outboard off and laid it on the pavement before it got damaged.

Also had the trapped dinghy problem at the steps even though I was careful to leave it downwind. Have also used the stone steps next to the ferry pier if we are going for a quick pint. Nowadays we rarely use the moorings preferring a night in Drombuie (getting older !). If we do go in for supplies we tend to pay the few quid extra and go on the pontoons.

We ate in the Mishnish aabout 6 weksd ago, a very pleasant evening. My memories of the place a re a bit hazy but it did sem to have been smartened up a bit. Service food etc. were all good.
