About Loch Melfort Hotel
Loch Melfort Hotel sits above the shore at Arduaine, roughly 19 miles south of Oban, with 17 acres of grounds running down to its own beach and gardens that adjoin the National Trust for Scotland's Arduaine Garden. Most of the 30 en suite rooms look out over the loch, and the Sea View Lodge deck rooms, several of them pet-friendly, open directly onto the water.
The restaurant makes the most of its coastal location, drawing on shellfish and fish landed nearby alongside game and produce from the surrounding hills, and there is a guest lounge, private library and roaring log fires for colder evenings. The hotel also hosts weddings and private functions in a separate marquee space within the grounds.
The location suits visitors wanting a quiet, scenic base rather than a town-centre stay, with Arduaine Garden on the doorstep, Crinan and Kilmartin Glen within easy reach, and Oban itself a straightforward drive north along the coast road for ferries, shops and the distillery.
