Loch Melfort Hotel
For our stay we have chosen the Loch Melfort Hotel, a unique retreat set in 17 acres of gardens and beach on the romantic coast of Argyll in the Scottish Highlands. We have chosen the hotel due to its truly stunning location and idyllic surrounds. As you step into the warmth, comfort and tranquility of this comfortable country family home, you cannot fail to notice the uniquely informal and relaxed atmosphere. The family-owned hotel which is surrounded by the enchanting Arduaine Gardens has beautiful views to the Sound of Jura and the Inner Hebrides and beyond and offers a variety of room options. Choose from 10 rooms in the main house including two luxury suites which are convenient for the restaurant and bar, or perhaps opt for one of the 20 lodge rooms with their uninterrupted sea views.
Dinners will be taken at the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, where the greatest care is taken when choosing the produce, ensuring it is as local and fresh as possible, such as West Coast trout, scallops, venison and Game when in season.
