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.

View to die for
Pros:

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
Pros:

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.

Lovely views
Pros:

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.

Room, view & food - Amazing!!
Pros:

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.

Perfect stay in paradise
Pros:

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 🙂🙂

Pros:

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 .

Pros:

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.
