Located on the eastern side of Loch Fyne, the hamlet is 4 miles (6.4 km) northwest of the village of Tighnabruaich.

[2][3] The hamlet is also home to the Kilfinan Hotel for over 300 years which started off as a coaching inn.

Two 17th-century lead coffins were discovered, which may hold the remains of Sir Coll and Dame Barbara.

Now the window is repaired visitors are reminded to leave the door open to give the swallows access.

In the 20th century burials in the parish took place at the (now disused) Kilbride church, on the west side of the Ardlamont peninsula, and more recently at the cemetery in Millhouse.
