Lock in a great price for Loch Melfort Hotel - rated 8.7 by recent guests.

Everything else! Staff were excellent Food fabulous Views astounding Allows dogs

Gail, United Kingdom

Stunning views from the room and dininig / sitting areas. Very friendly staff.

Iain, United Kingdom

The location was amazing. Bteathtaking views over The loch. The staff were all very nice. Professions. Warm. Accommodating. We would definitely return.

Ann, United Kingdom

Beautiful beautiful beautiful location, generous rooms, very friendly staff!!! Great location and accommodation to bring the pooch. The only thing we found a bit weird was that we had reserved a table to dine for 7:45 and arrived on time but were then made to wait in the lunge for nearly 45 min without any explanation and we were hungry! We did get served a drink and an amuse bouche but that didn't really tie us over. The dinner however was exquisite, highly recommend the game pie. Food and drink quite on the expensive side and there isn't anywhere else really to go if you don't want to drive miles - but the quality made the prices worth it. I think the dining room could do with some TLC and a bit of an upgrade in decorating and interior design to bring this lovely hotel into current times, it felt a bit outdated, but it's all about the views and they are breathtaking. All in all a great jewel and will most definitely be back!

Alarm going off in adjacent room at 5.30am two mornings in a row despite alerting staff to this the first time. Expensive afternoon tea served with sandwiches which were drying out and obviously not fresh. To make matters worse these sandwiches were double charged on the bill! No apology given at the time, not impressed with response to letter sent expressing disappointment.

The “bar” is part of the lounge and it took a long time for anyone to come to us in the lounge to ask if we wanted a drink and nobody behind the bar to order from. We had a table booked at 7:45 and by 8:15 had to ask someone about the table because they seemingly forgot.
Lovely location overlooking the Loch, great view from the room. Lounge, bar and restaurant very clean and comfortable. Nice food.
