Loch Melfort Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed here for a week, our second visit. The room was as good as before although the bed is a bit soft for us, and apart from that it was very comfortable. The hotel has a position which gives the most perfect view over the loch and the paddocks with the local Highland cows with their goat friends. The staff are excellent and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Food is about as good as you can get with a decent choice. We would highly recommend staying here, and we will book again for next year."

"Absolutely beautiful location next to the loch. It was very quiet and peaceful when we stayed. We used it as a place to stay while we visited Oban and the Isle of Mull. The owners were very helpful and friendly. The last 30 mins drive to the site is an adventure that sometimes felt like a rollercoaster but worth it when you get there."
