Something new for your travels around Oban! Skip the crowded hotspots for a day and head to this corner of Argyll.

🌿 Start your morning at Arduaine Garden
☕ Stop for lunch at Loch Melfort Hotel, overlooking Asknish Bay
🐮 Say hello to the Highland cows and goats
🏖️ Explore the small beach below the hotel
🏺 Then drive less than 20 minutes to Kilmartin Museum and discover the stories of the people who lived here thousands of years ago

One of our favourite things about Kilmartin Museum? A standard admission ticket gives you unlimited return visits for a year, so there's no pressure to see everything in one go.*

*Excludes special exhibitions, workshops and certain discounted ticket types.

Happy to our neighbours at - just six minutes down the road from Loch Melfort. ⛵

A familiar sight for many guests exploring this corner of Argyll, whether arriving by road, sea or simply stopping to admire the view.

Another creation from Chef David👨‍🍳

This time, it's a rich chocolate delice made with 70% chocolate, paired with feuilletine, cocoa nibs and pistachio ice cream.

We're not saying you SHOULD save room for dessert... but it might be wise.

Did you know that this Saturday is ?

If you've visited Kilmartin Museum (just a short drive down the road from us), you may have spotted Kilmartin Glen Spirits

It was created by Louise and Greig MacPhail, whose family has lived in the village for more than 100 years, and uses botanicals gathered from around the Glen itself. One thing we particularly love about it is that the bottle design is inspired by the ancient rock art found around Kilmartin Glen.

What a great wee story from a hyper-local Argyll business!

This secret wild swimming spot just 30-minutes south of Oban is located at the end of Loch Melfort Hotel's path.

In these clips, local Scotland swim guide, Dan the Merman, took one of the hotel guests out for a wild swimming lesson - however, residents and non-residents alike can visit for a paddle without a lesson.

Many grab the opportunity to go for a quick dip in this hidden gem before heading up to the hotel deck for lunch.

One of the perks of staying with us? Sometimes you get a little more than breakfast. ☕️

Recently, our German guests were treated to a scone-making demonstration from the kitchen team, complete with a few tips on how to get them just right.

Not a bad view for a baking lesson, either.

A little Monday afternoon temptation from our pastry chef David 🍓

One of his new summer desserts: almond financier, compressed strawberry, clotted cream and elderflower.

Would you save room for this?

Could Scotland's best seafood meal involve a ferry crossing... or even arriving by boat? 🦞

From harbour-side langoustines in Oban to island pubs and coastal restaurants further afield, we've rounded up some of our favourite seafood spots on the west coast.

One of our favourite things about the longer nights in Scotland during spring/summer? Finishing dinner and still having time to head back to your room to enjoy the Argyll sunsets!
