What guests think
Across the reviews, guests describe Melfort House as a tranquil, artful waterside retreat with sweeping loch views, welcoming shared spaces and gardens, and a warm, attentive host who crafts standout multi-course dinners and excellent made-to-order breakfasts.
Rooms are repeatedly noted as spacious, comfortable, and full of character, many with striking sea or loch views and features like plush beds and a soaking tub. Cleanliness and upkeep earn consistent praise, with several guests calling the property very clean and well maintained. A few practical notes appear: one guest reported limited mobile or internet connectivity, and another arrived when the host was away so a pre-booked dinner was not available. Expect a peaceful, highly personal stay focused on scenery, comfort, and thoughtful hospitality.

We stayed 2 days and it was excellent. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The large drawing room that overlooks Loch Melfort was also available for us to use which we enjoyed. We enjoyed a delicious 4 course dinner on the evening of our arrival prepared and served by our host Mathew. This was our first visit to Melfort House and hopefully we will be back again soon.

We had an amazing stay at Melfort House and we would love to go back. The house is warm and welcoming, just like Matthew the host. The loch room has excellent views and the garden surrounding the house is green and lush. Matthew is an excellent cook and every guest should take the opportunity to have a homemade multi-course meal in the beautiful dining room with the other guests, truly a unique experience. We had dinner at the pub located in the holiday village next door one night and to our surprise Matthew turned up there to sing and play the guitar- and he is just as talented as a musician as a cook. Thank you Matthew for a wonderful stay and the best holiday memories.

If you appreciate art, history, fine dinning as well as exceptional beauty and hospitality...then Melfort House is the place for you! From the moment we drove up to the house, stepping into the foyer and receiving a warm welcoming greeting from Leah, we were awestruck! The entire house and property is a work of art. The bedroom made us both gasp with it\'s charm - a complimentary decanter of Scotch whisky on the antique dresser. The king-sized bed was so very comfortable. The bathroom had the most comfortable soaking tub. The sitting room and dining room simply beautiful with so many antiques and quirky items on display. The view from the drawing room and grounds - magnificent! Matthew is a passionate and accomplished Chef. We highly recommend Melfort House. As we commented in the guestbook: "It was like staying overnight in a museum"! Our intention is to return next year.

We stayed 2 days and it was excellent. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. The large drawing room that overlooks Loch Melfort was also available for us to use which we enjoyed. We enjoyed a delicious 4 course dinner on the evening of our arrival prepared and served by our host Mathew. This was our first visit to Melfort House and hopefully we will be back again soon.

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.

We had an amazing stay at Melfort House and we would love to go back. The house is warm and welcoming, just like Matthew the host. The loch room has excellent views and the garden surrounding the house is green and lush. Matthew is an excellent cook and every guest should take the opportunity to have a homemade multi-course meal in the beautiful dining room with the other guests, truly a unique experience. We had dinner at the pub located in the holiday village next door one night and to our surprise Matthew turned up there to sing and play the guitar- and he is just as talented as a musician as a cook. Thank you Matthew for a wonderful stay and the best holiday memories.

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.

A haven of peace and tranquillity. The house is very spacious, welcoming lounge with amazing loch views. Full of interesting objects and books.The gardens are beautiful with mixture of wild bluebells but also lawns and a magnificent monkey puzzle tree. The breakfast was tasty and good choice. Thank you and would love to return when in the area again.

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!

Beautiful setting along a long single track. Lovely grounds. Huge rooms, quite dated but clean with nice views. We had Matthews 4 course meal which was nice but quite expensive. Straight forward breakfast. Guest lounge, looking towards Loch. Small tv in room.

Small cosy cabin that literally has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Really felt like a camping trip which we absolutely loved.

With just 3 rooms this beautiful B&B is the best I’ve ever experienced. Situated in a tiny hamlet 15 miles south of Oban, it is blissfully quiet and remote. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
