About this property

Melfort Lodge - a semi-detached cottage that sleeps up to 8 guests

Melfort Lodge is a semi-detached two-storey cottage forming part of the west section of a charming courtyard in the centre of the Village and enjoying a view over the paddock and to the river and hills beyond. Set in a large triangle of garden at the front, (shared with Melfort Cottage), at the rear of the building, Melfort Lodge shares a peaceful lawn courtyard garden with central flower bed and garden seating flanked on the other two sides by the Stables and Haybarn Cottages. To make the most of the views, the sitting room is upstairs with the kitchen/dining room downstairs . Car-parking is at the gable end of the building.

Enter into a large hallway on the ground floor leading to a very spacious open plan kitchen/dining area (with oven, hob, fridge, freezer, microwave & dishwasher); bathroom (with bath, over-bath shower, w.c. & wash-hand basin), two twin bedrooms. A staircase leads from the kitchen upstairs to the wood-clad sitting room with wood-burning stove where you can enjoy the views over the village through the large picture window (equipped with a double sofa bed for occasional guests, CTV, DVD); double bedroom with en-suite shower room (walk-in shower cubicle, w.c & wash hand basin).

Pre-Christmas family break
We had a wonderful stay at Melfort. A few days on our own, then joined by our daughters and baby grand daughter, we were cosy, warm and relaxed. The lodge was perfect, baby gates and highchair provided, and the pool lovely and warm, encouraged a swim every day! The staff are friendly and super helpful, even giving the wee one a present from Santa before she left! This was our third visit, and it definately won't be our last.

Beautiful location, excellent staff
A truly beautiful location and all staff were very friendly and informative and pointed out a number of local attractions that we would otherwise have missed. The lodge was well laid out and the kitchen had everything you could need, and the beds were very comfortable.However some of the carpets are starting to show their age and maybe consideration should be given to looking into this. Would definitely stay there again.

A haven of tranquility in a picture postcard setting. Amazing hospitality and genuinely Dog friendly
Melfort village is a very special place, the lodge had everything needed for a relaxing break, spotless and very well equipped for 6 adults and family dog. The reception team went above and beyond to meet our requests (from honey to BBQ's!) there was even a welcome pack for the dog :) We had an awesome few days, can highly recommend and can't wait to return.

Charming and spacious accommodations for getting away from it all
This place is amazing. It's beautiful and quaint. The lodge we stayed in had 3 bedrooms and a fold out sofa, 2 bathrooms, a gorgeous huge kitchen and lots of place to sit outside. Very comfy beds and extraordinarily fluffy towels. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to check out the pool or gym. There are lovely walks to go on around the property. We were a family group of 7, and this was perfect. One slight issue was check in. The office closes at 5 pm and we arrived shortly after that. There was a notice on the office door about where to obtain the keys. They were in a coded safe around the corner, but we couldn't find the code. There was no answer at the phone number on the notice. We asked at the restaurant next door and the waitress gave us what other customers had told her the number is. It worked, and we got into our lodge easily. The kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of plates and pots and pans, and it's size and beauty actually made me want to cook. A suggestion for improvement would be to supply basic condiments such as cooking oil, ketchup, mayonnaise, some common spices. As tourists from outside the country having to buy even small packets of these that won't get used up is wasteful. This property is fantastic is you are looking for tranquility. I would love to come back for a writing retreat. I knew it was 16 miles outside of Oban, but do consider that it is a 30-35 minute drive from Oban, some of it on single track roads. It was a challenge to get everyone out the door for an early tour from Oban. That said, there would be no comparable experience staying in Oban.
