The room was clean. Staff were very good. The views were amazing. Food was good as was the restaurant
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.
Very welcoming staff. Spacious comfortable room with fabulous view of Loch Melfort. Excellent dinner served by very pleasant, efficient staff.
Definitely recommend this hotel.
The balcony view and the property are the primary reasons to stay here. Despite rainy cool weather it was so great just to have tea (or wine) on the balcony. One if the best views I've ever enjoyed. The food was very good, and one of us is vegan.
