Melfort House

The highland Coo’s was the reason why we came. Place is fine. Views are wonderful.

Excellent stay. Great hospitality and cuisine. Highly recommend Melfort house B&B

Enjoyed our stay with every comfort and superb dinner. Many thanks

Absolutely stunning property and experience at Melfort House! Matthew ensured we had everything needed to make this a 5-star stay.

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.

Absolutely stunning house and room. The host is exceptionally friendly and warm, and his cooking was simply spectacular. Would return and recommend without hesitation.

Amazing hotel in every possible way - location, appearance, cleanliness, view, welcoming atmosphere, Mathews the host and the chef, dinner and breakfast. We highly enjoy our stay there and will gladly come back the next time we are in Scotland.

Det kändes som vi checkade in på ett litet slott. Fantastiskt hus! Och vårt rum hade utsikt mot havet. Väldigt trevlig värd.

Abosutley stunning property in a lovely, calm village. Breakfast was fantastic. Once in a lifetime experience. Would recommend this to anyone heading to the west of Scotland!

sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastwirt, großzügiges Zimmer mit vielen netten Details, sehr gutes WiFi, schöner Aufenthaltsraum mit tollen Sesseln und Möbeln und sehr schönem Ausblick

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!

This one night stay was a disappointment The host was away & booked evening meal was not available The visit was no where near approaching the hotel's website aims

Why is it every time we visit Oban, there's a violent storm? We'd booked for two nights but on our day of travel Mathew phoned to advise all the roads were either flooded or blocked with landslips. We agreed to try travelling the following day, which we did - it was eventful and with many detours but got there. Mathew kept in touch throughout to check our progress too, giving us updates on road closures. When we arrived, we were greeted at the door and shown our room, which was huge and very well appointed. We asked for dinner each night and I must say, the food was of the highest standard ( and I've been to a lot of top tier hotels in my day). Mathew had also arranged at my request for prosecco, flowers and chocolates to be in our room to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Dinner was preceded with a complimentary glass of sherry and coffee was in the comfortable and well furnished drawing room. We sat at the large dining table with other guests for both dinner and breakfast, so it was great that we got to meet new people throughout our stay, all of whom were lovely and also intrepid travelers. All in all, Melfort House is a top notch hotel / B&B and definitely a cut above the rest, with fantastic hospitality, awesome food and yet quiet enough to relax in traditional comfort. Thank you !

Hôte très dispo de bon conseil dans un lieu plus que parfait

Matthew is a great host. This is a beautiful, well maintained property.

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.

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.

The he food is delicious, the setting sublime but it’s the owner who makes it all quite special. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and assisted us with sone logistics for our journey as well.

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.

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.
