The Experience

If it’s the sound of silence you’re after, sit on the terrace in the evening sun and gaze across the fields to the loch and its isles. The landscape is beautiful to the point of distraction, and you’re a 15-minute stroll from Melfort Loch pier.

This big country house, built in traditional style, glows with fine paintings and polished antiques. Bedrooms have soft plaids and handmade chocolates; four-course dinners include garden produce. While Louise creates wonders in the polytunnel, Matthew produces marvels in the kitchen. Bring your own wine!

Set off on the winding road for Oban, known for its seafood and whisky. Or hop on the summer ferry from Gallanach to Kerrara, a sheep-strewn walkers’ island blessed with wonderful tea gardens and a romantic ruin.

Reviews

Alastair Sep 2015

Great location overlooking the sea; delightful room with picture window; our dog loved the grounds and seashore; Dawn cooked an excellent dinner and we had remembered to take our own wine, for which they make no extra charge. Well located for Oban and its ferries and Matthew served an excellent breakfast. Much to be enjoyed and savoured.

Location

The neighbourhood

The house is situated a mile from the main road in a secluded spot sheltered by trees. The grounds are a lovely place to stroll on a summer’s evening, and, thanks to the rhododendrons and azaleas, gorgeous in spring. Wildlife abounds: deer, otters, seals, dolphins; mountain bikes and kayaks can be hired. The nearest town, Oban, is a 30-minute drive.
