Incredible!
The Melfort house is an amazing property with beautiful furnishings, lovely gardens & a spectacular view of the sea surrounded by lambs & song birds. Matthew, the host, was very accommodating & prepared an outstanding 4 course dinner & made to order Scottish breakfast. Our visit there stands out as the best in Scotland!

Perfect haven in a storm
Why is it every time we visit Oban, there's a violent storm? We'd booked for two nights but on our day of travel Mathew phoned to advise all the roads were either flooded or blocked with landslips. We agreed to try travelling the following day, which we did - it was eventful and with many detours but got there. Mathew kept in touch throughout to check our progress too, giving us updates on road closures. When we arrived, we were greeted at the door and shown our room, which was huge and very well appointed. We asked for dinner each night and I must say, the food was of the highest standard ( and I've been to a lot of top tier hotels in my day). Mathew had also arranged at my request for prosecco, flowers and chocolates to be in our room to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Dinner was preceded with a complimentary glass of sherry and coffee was in the comfortable and well furnished drawing room. We sat at the large dining table with other guests for both dinner and breakfast, so it was great that we got to meet new people throughout our stay, all of whom were lovely and also intrepid travelers. All in all, Melfort House is a top notch hotel / B&B and definitely a cut above the rest, with fantastic hospitality, awesome food and yet quiet enough to relax in traditional comfort. Thank you !

Melfort House- A Hidden Gem
Excellent location situated in a lovely tranquil setting. Unable to fault experience in any way. The proprietor was friendly, welcoming and attentive. The dinner he prepared was exquisite. A memorable stay and we would certainly visit again.

The B&B lies at the end of the road and has limited mobile phone and internet - but that is not problem for a one night stop. Dinner and breakfast were excellent.

Absolutley charming
Absolutely recommendable. This storytelling old estate is glamorous and cosy in one go. The owner kept it in very good shape and generously shares it as a b&b. We had a wonderful stay and special thanks to the houskeeper Lesslie, which made our stay even better.

Lovely B&B in a quiet village. The owner was away during our stay so we were served by his friend who was great. There are only 3 rooms which are quite large with all amenities provided and the ensuite bathrooms are modern. Note that the room doors are not lockable although this was not an issue for us. Only areas for improvement might be that the wifi signal in the rooms was quite poor, however guests also have use of the large drawing room on the ground floor, where the wifi signal is good. The room rates are fixed here, and as we booked quite late the other options were dinky hotels in Oban for only a few pounds less so it was a no-brainer to stay here instead. The road to Oban is mostly recently repaved and relatively wide so it is a fast and smooth drive.

A beautiful location with good venues and hiking. My wife enjoyed a beautiful 6 mi walk while I visited gardens nearby due to a bad ankle. Matthew has a wonderful and interesting house and helped with some extra needs for scheduling a harbor trip and laundry due to a spill. We enjoyed our time in this quiet and peaceful home.
