After returning from Gigha on the ferry, our car wouldn't start due to what I believed to be an electrical issue. The AA couldn't come out due to the remote location of Tayinloan and we were stranded as our campsite was a distance away. Thankfully, Alistair, the owner, came to our rescue with jump leads and extensive car knowledge. Thanks to him, our short break was saved. I highly recommend trying the fish and chips with all the trimmings at Big Jessie's.

The scones were warm and incredibly fresh, although a bit crumbly. They were delicious. The only minor drawback was the presence of a noisy dog belonging to another customer which became bothersome after a while.

The couple running the place were friendly and took the time to chat with all the customers. It's also dog-friendly, which we always appreciate!
