Top Arduaine Hotel Reviews

Loch Melfort Hotel

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."

"We had room 109 and it looked out over the water and the lively street but was very quiet. The shower was amazing as were the products. The coffee and tea and snacks were delicious. The bed was very comfy and the room was nice and dark! We didn’t get to explore the hotel at all since we were just there overnight but we would gladly stay there again if we are lucky enuf to return to Oban. What a great little town and a great hotel experience!"
