Excellent stay
Victoria
Hands down my favorite hotel during my trip. On the day of my check-in, I made dinner reservations and unfortunately I ran into car trouble so I was going to miss dinner hours by 20 minutes. Immediately when I got to check in, they offered to make me a plate even though the kitchen was closed. 10/10 hotel! I’ll be visiting again
Stacie
They have gorgeous Highland Cows to watch on the grounds.

Great view and food. Walk along the beach
Tanya
Beautiful location waking up to that view was amazing and the stars at night are so vibrant!
Robert
The balcony view and the property are the primary reasons to stay here. Despite rainy cool weather it was so great just to have tea (or wine) on the balcony. One if the best views I've ever enjoyed. The food was very good, and one of us is vegan.
Liz
Loch Melfort Hotel is a gem! The view from the hotel is stunning. We enjoyed both a delicious dinner and ample, yummy breakfast as part of the package. Staff were all friendly and efficient. Would book again in a heartbeat.

Lovely vistas. Genuine staff. No pretense. Excellent Scottish experience. Nice decor in room but bathroom could be updated.

View to die for
This was part of a two stage trip and after a 6 hour drive we entered the pleasant good sized car park. The room we were given was very nice and a decent size.
The meals were excellent and brought to us in good time, including a ver good breakfast.
Best of all were the staff who were pleasant and efficient throughout.

Hotel with amazing views
Amazing views from restaurant. Bar slightly unusual to have a shop at one side. It didn’t feel overly cozy. Room was comfortable and in good condition. Big choice and selection in menu for dinner in restaurant. We enjoyed our dinner but we’d had more enjoyable meals in smaller venues. The hotel was busy at dinner time. The staff were always polite and professional. Overall it was a nice stay,but had an atmosphere that meant I didn’t really feel relaxed somehow.
Kyle
Room, view & food - Amazing!!
Amazing room, with amazing views! We stayed in the sea view lodge that overlooked the loch and had highland cows right outside. The food was amazing, both myself and partner had the chicken balmoral, it was the best chicken balmoral I’ve ever had. Breakfast was excellent also. Overall great night away and would definitely stay again, worth every penny and probably more.
Kirsty
Lovely views
Lovely hotel, the view really makes it. Doesnt look like much when you drive up but the view on the other side is beautiful.
Only odd thing was the water in the bathroom runs a tea colour. Although its clean... makes for an odd bath.
Food in the restaurant was lovely. We liked that you can mix and match from main and bistro menu.

Perfect stay in paradise
Totally wonderful, the view from the dining hall was stunning. The staff were great and so helpful. It was a birthday treat for my wife, and there was a lovely box of chocolates from the hotel in our room, which was a lovely gesture.
The food was exquisite, so all in all it was a perfect few days in paradise 🙂🙂

We booked specifically for an overnight stay so we would be relatively close to attend a wonderful concert at Kilmelford Village Hall ,approx a 10 minutes drive away . We've had a very busy schedule recently and the hotel and tranquil peaceful surrounds and lovely views across the bay , was just what we needed. We were lucky the sun shone and we were able to spend a blissful hour or two after checking in ,sitting out on the patio with a nice cup of tea and cake.
We weren't able to dine unfortunately as the evening menu started too late for us to attend the concert but we did have a very tasty breakfast the next morning with local sea trout being on offer as well as a good choice of other items . The hotel itself has a lovely relaxed ambiance and all the staff are friendly and helpful . We had been before and stayed in one of the chalet rooms but this was our first time staying in the hotel itself .Last time we visited the lovely adjoining gardens of Arduaine .
We will definitely return and stay for longer .

This is an absolute gem of a hotel set in a stunning location. Peace, quiet, tranquility, incredible views, beautiful grounds. Our balcony room overlooking the shore was spacious and comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is superb with vegetarians, vegans and dietary allergies all fully catered for. Highly recommended and we look forward to staying again.

Dangerous step
There is a step off the deck that is very hard to discriminate from the actual deck and I had a nasty fall on it. It should be painted with a line so you can see it. It’s dangerous and I have a sore rib and ankle now unfortunately.

Expected it to be good but was AMAZED!!
We stayed for 2 nights. On arrival, the reception staff were extremely welcoming and friendly.
We went to our room which was a king-size sea view. The view is even better than any picture will have you believe. Breathtaking. Loved having a little balcony with comfortable chairs and just enjoying the view and silence.
The room was spotless. On the 2nd day, the cleaners chapped the door and asked if we wanted anything cleaned or if any of the tea/coffee/teacakes needed replenished. This was a nice thing to do.
The bed was massive and comfortable. The bedding itself was a great quality.
The shower was always hot and a good power too. Great shampoos etc in the room to try.
The grounds are well cared for and we enjoyed walks by the highland cows and down to the seafront.
The meals were all great. Portions are huge. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Breakfast was one of the best i’ve ever had and locally sourced.
Reception staff also gave some advice for a place to go a nice walk and we enjoyed a day out in Kilmartin as a result.
Overall, I cannot say a bad word or complain about any detail. Superb all round and we’ll be back at the earliest opportunity.

Good independent hotel in great location. VFM. Trays provided for muddy boots is thoughtful. Not so great for people who dislike dogs, especially in Restaurants, but judging by numbers of guests with canines in tow, the hotel has to provide for this.

This was BY FAR the best place we've ever stayed. It's not just the beauty of of the surroundings or the views, it was the total experience. The staff was truly unparalleled and made you feel like both family and royalty. The dining experience is the best I've ever had hands down. The food was absolutely amazing, their chefs astounding, and service like no other. I didn't want to leave.

This is one of our favourite hotels in Scotland, this was our 9th time of staying. The view from the hotel is beautiful. The staff are all lovely, food is excellent and just a lovley place to stay.
Ainslie
A great room in a fantastic location. Absolutely superb service by all the staff that we came across. We were, however, disappointed by the truncation of the menu - no beef/venison on the main menu - and we had been so looking forward to trying both. The staff told us that this was because the hotel was about to shut down for the winter. Such was the rest of our experience during this stay, we will be back next year, hopefully with beef and venison restored to the menu.
David
My wife and I stayed in the Loch Melfort Hotel Romantic Studio Suite. It was a spacious room with beautiful view of the Loch. The room was immaculate, warm, quiet, and nicely decorated. The hotel staff was polite, knowledgeable and very professional. We enjoyed a hike to the Loch and around the accessible Arduaine Estate Gardens. We had an excellent and elegant dinner and a perfectly prepared breakfast to follow in the morning. We highly recommend!

Located on the water with a spectacular view, The Loch Meltfort Hotel is lovely gem of a hotel. The sea view room boasted incredible vews and was the perfect spot for a night's rest.
We did choose to dine at the hotel's resaurant and had a very good meal for a very fair price. The menu had several options to suit most people, I should think.
My only dissapointment was that we couldn't stay another night as we had to move along in our travels.

Dated Rooms let down Fantastic F&B and Views
Fantastic views and F&B offering that is let down by the standard of the rooms and bathrooms which are very dated.
Kathryn
It is not often that we have stayed in a property that speaks so loudly to beauty, contentment, grace and charm. Our room had a patio with incredible views or should I say EVERY room at Loch Melford. Every staff member was professional, gracious and played a major role in the factors noted above. The menu was diverse and creative using local businesses for their ingredients. I could go on and on, but I will promise you that you’ll never be disappointed there. Treat yourself!
And they have Coos!

Superb location and hotel
This hotel had everything we wanted, a great location, a nice modern room, a beautiful view, lovely food and great staff. We stayed on the ground floor of the lodges and really enjoyed our time here. We enjoyed going down to the water and we even went swimming from the beach. From everywhere you get a fantastic view and the hotel is well designed to make the most of it. The food was one of our favourite things dinner and breakfast were a highlight.

Loch Melfort Hotel short stay.
Beautiful location, hotel couldn't be faulted. Food in restaurant excellent.
Alan
A destination in its own right.
Third time staying here. It’s a lovely place, all the staff are fantastic (there’s a lovely girl originally from Falkirk that was a good laugh and had great banter), the food is amazing (pay extra for the dinner package as the value is exceptional), the rooms are spacious and the beds are huge, the views are superb and the wildlife is right up close and personal.
My two gripes would be the service charges (just add a few pence to the drinks, the food or the room) and the lack of international lager on tap, the Loch Melfort lager (just call it Tennents) is passable but something else would have suited me personally, the other half had the choice of about 30 gins and she was chuffed to bit so I was happy. Neither of these will stop us returning and we’ll be back soon.
Thank you to all the staff, the owners should be extremely proud.
My two gripes would be the service charges (just add a few pence to the drinks, the food or the room) and the lack of international lager on tap, the Loch Melfort lager (just call it Tennents) is passable but something else would have suited me personally, the other half had the choice of about 30 gins and she was chuffed to bit so I was happy. Neither of these will stop us returning and we’ll be back soon.
Thank you to all the staff, the owners should be extremely proud.

Fantastic hotel with amazing views

Fabulous two night break
Fabulous stay in a beautiful spot. The service and food were both great couldn’t find fault with either.
The only negative was a lack of storage and no window which we could open during the night.

The staff were very good and really friendly , the food was very nice. The hotel clean and comfortable , the down side was our bedroom was above the bar and I am all for having a good time but not to the detriment of other guests. We were woken up by a very loud group in the bar. Which carried on for an hour or so. Made it impossible to sleep.

Fantastic views
Remote hotel with fantastic views. The service is fantastic and the food is great. The walls between rooms are very thin and you do hear neighbouring guests in the newer extension!!

Room was good. Dinner was excellent. Breakfast ok.

Staff, food, welcome were all excellent. We will definitely be back but hopefully in a shorter time than 40 years!
One thing which would be helpful is a hand rail on the first short run of stairs. We had a wonderful one night stay and wished it could have been longer.

Wonderful!
We loved this gem about 30 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Oban. So peaceful and quiet with a view of Loch Melfort. Highland cattle and goats grazing on grounds. Service in restaurant was great. Free parking on site as well. Highly recommend!! Wonderful stay.
