We loved our stay here. Our room had it's own terrace and the views over the sea loch were just stunning. The staff couldn't have been better - helpful and friendly they certainly helped to make our stay here very enjoyable. Would love to come back.

Prepare to be blown away by the incredible views from this outstanding little hotel. Truly magnificent. The staff is super friendly, and went out of their way to make us welcome. The restaurant is delicious, and it is a lovely touch to serve appetizers and drinks in the lounge/living areas and take dinner orders there before moving into the restaurant... More

Thanks so much for your lovely review and you have captured the essence of what we try to achieve for guests when they stay here! We don't provide on-site kayaks due to insurance/helath and safety reasons, but just across the water at Croabh Haven you can hire a kayak for £10 an hour from our friends Mark and Helen at... More

Was not advised we would be in the Annexe at time of booking, stunning views but accommodation was like the house that jack built, needed major overhaul, terrible shower,dirty worn bedding,very tired mattress, and just a general feeling of cheap accommodation,( which it was not). Bed and breakfast should include a cooked breakfast this is 2013 not the 50's. I... More

Thanks for taking the time to write and review and I am sorry that you found your stay disappointing. Unfortunately I think you chose to book our hotel via an online booking agent so perhaps you did not read the booking terms carefully - all last minute OTA bookings are in the Cedar Wing and do not include a cooked...

We have been here before many years ago: views and Arduaine Gardens just as good but Hotel well up-dated with ample attentive and knowledgeable staff. The food is outstanding; imaginative, modern and using first class local produce. An excellent example of Scottish hospitality.

Lovely setting, rooms don't have much sound proofing so need to talk quietly. Staff very helpful and both restaurants offer excellent food although don't choose a caesar salad in the bistro!! Lovely walks through the gardens.

Many thanks for your review and it sounds as though you enjoyed the majority of your stay. Soundproofing is an area we are investing in and all our Cedar Wing Superior rooms are now reinsulated and sound proofed. We hope to continue to roll-out this refurbishment as we need to redecorate rooms. I am not sure what your comment about... More

The Loch Melfort Hotel has a uniquely beautiful situation, and is exceptionally well run by capable and friendly staff.There are many examples of the thought put into this operation by the proprietors, and the only grouse we had was the poor soundproofing of a Cedar Wing room, which is an issue well know on to the proprietors but which must...

We thought the hotel, restaurant, staff and location were excellent! We stayed for three nights in May 2013 and used the hotel as a base for touring locally - there are a number of super places to visit quite close by e.g Kilmartin and Seal Island. The adjacent NTS garden, which the hotel supports, was a particular bonus. The hotel... More
