Afternoon tea at Dungallan is a highlight in itself. Lovingly prepared on-site, these elegant offerings are enjoyed by residents and locals alike, served in the inviting lounge bar, peaceful library or on the scenic wraparound patio overlooking the bay. As the evening settles in, guests may also choose from a refined selection of cold platters, presented in the same relaxed and atmospheric spaces.

The day ends in Dungallan’s lounge bar, where an impressive collection of over 220 whiskies awaits discovery. This is complemented by a curated selection of Scottish island gins, hand-picked wines, prosecco and Champagne, offering the perfect conclusion to a day of exploration or relaxation.
