Kilfinan consists of 12 houses and 3 working farms, the historic Kilfinan Hotel.The hamlet also has a church and community village hall. Kames and Tighnabruaich villages have local shops and services that easily cater for most everyday needs and requirements. Dunoon offers a further and fuller range of shopping, educational and professional services as would be expected of a regional market town. The short crossing CalMac ferry from Portavadie leads to Tarbert where there are fuller shops and services, the ferry adding an interesting waterscape dimension to a weekly shop.

There are outstanding beaches in the area, some sandy, some rocky. Ostel Bay for example, has a stunning crescent shaped, white sandy beach and is one of the gems of Argyll’s scenic coast.

This area is part of “Argyll’s Secret Coast”, which stretches from Strachur at the top of Loch Fyne round the coast to Colintraive. There are countless opportunities to discover peaceful locations, glens, rivers and all the wildlife the country is famous for. Portavadie Spa and Marina is less than one mile away and has in recent years seen significant investment in creating a modern state of the art Marina infrastructure, with associated chandlery, restaurant, accommodation and spa facilities. The Marina is fast gaining a reputation among the sailing communities as a must go to destination and many drive to the Marina for culinary days and evenings out. A wonderful area to live in.
