The Whistlefield Inn is a Category C listed[2] building in Whistlefield, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, about twelve miles northwest of Dunoon. Built in 1663, it was originally a drover's inn on the route between Strachur and Ardentinny.[1][2][3] It sits about 1,300 feet (400 m) from the eastern shores of Loch Eck.[4] Today, it is an inn and restaurant.
The business came under new management in September 2018.
