Positive Reviews
positive:
Gorgeous scenery in a Scottish oasis.
There are 17 acres of garden and beach between you and the outside world when you stay at Loch Melfort Hotel. If you do want to venture out, Oban is a great place for whale watching and whisky tastings, but many guests say they were content to enjoy the peaceful scenery around the hotel.
positive:
Cedar Wing Annex rooms have terrace or balcony.
If you stay in the Cedar Wing Annex, you are guaranteed to have either a private terrace or balcony overlooking the loch. Many guests have cited these stunning views as being a highlight of their trip.
positive:
Two excellent restaurants to choose from.
Fine dining or something more casual—both are possible with a stay at the hotel. The Asknish Bay Restaurant pleases the most sophisticated palates, and The Chartroom II has outdoor seating and a play area for children. Food in both restaurants is local and fresh.

Cooked breakfast comes at a fee.
Continental breakfast is complimentary, but in order to receive a cooked breakfast, guests must pay a small amount extra.

Restaurant prices and service may disappoint.
Receiving mostly positive reviews, the hotel's restaurants are sometimes called too expensive, and a few issues with poor service have been reported.
negative:
Rooms can do with an update.
The rooms are kept very clean, but some feel that they could do with another coat of paint and some new furnishings.
