This was BY FAR the best place we've ever stayed. It's not just the beauty of of the surroundings or the views, it was the total experience. The staff was truly unparalleled and made you feel like both family and royalty. The dining experience is the best I've ever had hands down. The food was absolutely amazing, their chefs astounding, and service like no other. I didn't want to leave.

A great room in a fantastic location. Absolutely superb service by all the staff that we came across. We were, however, disappointed by the truncation of the menu - no beef/venison on the main menu - and we had been so looking forward to trying both. The staff told us that this was because the hotel was about to shut down for the winter. Such was the rest of our experience during this stay, we will be back next year, hopefully with beef and venison restored to the menu.

My wife and I stayed in the Loch Melfort Hotel Romantic Studio Suite. It was a spacious room with beautiful view of the Loch. The room was immaculate, warm, quiet, and nicely decorated. The hotel staff was polite, knowledgeable and very professional. We enjoyed a hike to the Loch and around the accessible Arduaine Estate Gardens. We had an excellent and elegant dinner and a perfectly prepared breakfast to follow in the morning. We highly recommend!

Located on the water with a spectacular view, The Loch Meltfort Hotel is lovely gem of a hotel. The sea view room boasted incredible vews and was the perfect spot for a night's rest. We did choose to dine at the hotel's resaurant and had a very good meal for a very fair price. The menu had several options to suit most people, I should think. My only dissapointment was that we couldn't stay another night as we had to move along in our travels.
