Epic views, great food and company.

Valentine’s stay at Loch Melfort

Pros: We had a beautiful stay at the Loch Melfort hotel. We had stayed at a chain hotel the night before nearby and this was our favourite hotel of the two. No wonder this hotel has awards, other hotels should take notes. Staff were superb! Very friendly, helpful and on the ball. Food was delicious! Room had beautiful view over the loch, beds very comfortable and the room was very clean.

Cons: Could hear next door talking through the walls. Peppermint in the body wash - hot! Not ideal

Worth paying more for the impressive loch-facing rooms

Pros: We had a garden-facing room, but could glimpse the loch to one side. Comfortable and warm, but obviously not as impressive as the loch-facing room we had on a previous visit. Food was good.

Cons: We were surprised to have 10% service charge added to the whole amount, including restaurant, room and reception. You could request some of this to be removed, but who wants to appear a skinflint?

Simply stupendous.

Pros: Fantastic location. Restaurant food is second to none. We were also lucky to enjoy a music night where local folks sang and played for us. We had the best experience - cannot recommend highly enough - a 12 out of 10

Cons: Could find no fault.
