We stopped on our way along the coast more by accident, as we were looking for a view point to enjoy the amazing landscape. And what a surprise: A little gem, inviting you for a coffee and a cake in the most beautiful place.
Great view, tasty cake and nice service.
We were spoilt by the weather, but there are plenty of tables inside, with the same great view.

A great lunch today at Loch Melfort.
The view is worth the 30 minute ride south of Oban and the beautiful gardens of Arduaine are next door.
Dog friendly, a relaxed space in the bar & lounge and a more structured dining room.
Only disappointed that they don't do Sunday Lunch although hopefully it will be back in the Winter when the tourists have returned home.
Today we ordered the vegetable & prawn pathia, the pea 🫛 risotto and a bruschetta (although not much flavour in the cheese and peas are an unusual choice yet no tomato 🍅 which was odd).
The dessert of Raspberry Cranachan Meringue was really delicious.
The service was attentive and our table has been reserved in the window overlooking the loch and out to sea.
We spent £78 for 2 (1 x glass of wine and 1 x coke) and with 3 largely vegetarian choices it was at the higher end of what we would normally spend on a nice Sunday lunch (£40 a head compared to £25 for example).
Overall we love the views, the food is good (could include a steak easily and make some roasted tatties without much challenge as it's on the a la carte).
So we will definitely go back but when we see the posts on Facebook telling us about their rare roast sirloin of beef and Yorkshire Pud).
Absolutely exquisite. Both service & food were sublime! Loved it that much we came 3 times!!
Amazing food, and such beautiful scenery! The staff were so friendly! Perfect way to end our little get away holiday ❤️
Had a light lunch here. This hotel is in the most beautiful setting looking straight out over Loch Melfort. A good location for either a few days complete relaxation as it is so peaceful sitting in the lounge or in the gardens overlooking the Loch. Or if you are keen walkers it is also a good base.
I've stopped here a few times, excellent service, delicious food and a short beach walk with access from the garden. Well worth a visit!
Great place to stop for lunch and go for a walk around the botanical garden.
On a perfect day came across the sign for the hotel and viewpoint - they arent joking!
The cake and coffee was excellent to.
Lovely views over the sea lock. Staff very friendly food was lovely .
We happened her completely by chance- sort of ;) we were on a mission to find some Highland Coos before leaving Scotland and we were thrilled to meet their herd! The view from the restaurant was just gorgeous (coos included) and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. I had a salad and admittedly it did feel a bit small for the price, but it was very very good and the coffee was great.
