Exceptional one night stay.
A haven of peace and tranquillity. The house is very spacious, welcoming lounge with amazing loch views. Full of interesting objects and books.The gardens are beautiful with mixture of wild bluebells but also lawns and a magnificent monkey puzzle tree. The breakfast was tasty and good choice.
Thank you and would love to return when in the area again.

The B&B lies at the end of the road and has limited mobile phone and internet - but that is not problem for a one night stop. Dinner and breakfast were excellent.

Melfort House- A Hidden Gem
Excellent location situated in a lovely tranquil setting. Unable to fault experience in any way. The proprietor was friendly, welcoming and attentive. The dinner he prepared was exquisite. A memorable stay and we would certainly visit again.

Incredible!
The Melfort house is an amazing property with beautiful furnishings, lovely gardens & a spectacular view of the sea surrounded by lambs & song birds.
Matthew, the host, was very accommodating & prepared an outstanding 4 course dinner & made to order Scottish breakfast.
Our visit there stands out as the best in Scotland!

Absolutley charming
Absolutely recommendable. This storytelling old estate is glamorous and cosy in one go. The owner kept it in very good shape and generously shares it as a b&b. We had a wonderful stay and special thanks to the houskeeper Lesslie, which made our stay even better.

A beautiful location with good venues and hiking. My wife enjoyed a beautiful 6 mi walk while I visited gardens nearby due to a bad ankle. Matthew has a wonderful and interesting house and helped with some extra needs for scheduling a harbor trip and laundry due to a spill. We enjoyed our time in this quiet and peaceful home.

A wonderful manor with a friendly host. You will feel like a Lord for a day as you enjoy the dinning room breakfast or rest from the days activities in the spacious historical lounge in front of the roaring fire. Some hotels give water in the room but here we were more than happy to see a small whisky decanter as a welcome drink. A nice touch indeed! We would be more than happy to visit again should we be in the area.

If you appreciate art, history, fine dinning as well as exceptional beauty and hospitality...then Melfort House is the place for you! From the moment we drove up to the house, stepping into the foyer and receiving a warm welcoming greeting from Leah, we were awestruck! The entire house and property is a work of art. The bedroom made us both gasp with it's charm - a complimentary decanter of Scotch whisky on the antique dresser. The king-sized bed was so very comfortable. The bathroom had the most comfortable soaking tub. The sitting room and dining room simply beautiful with so many antiques and quirky items on display. The view from the drawing room and grounds - magnificent! Matthew is a passionate and accomplished Chef. We highly recommend Melfort House. As we commented in the guestbook: "It was like staying overnight in a museum"! Our intention is to return next year.

Lovely B&B in a quiet village. The owner was away during our stay so we were served by his friend who was great. There are only 3 rooms which are quite large with all amenities provided and the ensuite bathrooms are modern. Note that the room doors are not lockable although this was not an issue for us. Only areas for improvement might be that the wifi signal in the rooms was quite poor, however guests also have use of the large drawing room on the ground floor, where the wifi signal is good. The room rates are fixed here, and as we booked quite late the other options were dinky hotels in Oban for only a few pounds less so it was a no-brainer to stay here instead. The road to Oban is mostly recently repaved and relatively wide so it is a fast and smooth drive.
