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.

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.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Randi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!

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.
