The Perfect Holiday

The property exceeded our expectations as it had recently undergone a full upgrade. It offered absolutely everything we needed and provided an extremely comfortable stay. Not only was the property fabulous, the location and general environment was perfect. We were able to enjoy clean and safe kayaking, paddle boarding and wild swimming on a daily basis. Finally, the service we received from Hazel and the lovely maintenance person was A1. They both provided the highest level of service and ensured that the property met all our needs.

Short Break

I could use the normal words to describe the location, accommodation, friendlyness of people etc. but they would do the place justice. Within ten minute after arriving my wife and I almost said at the same time, I feel so relaxed and we are just here. That was how it was for our entire stay and we both agreed we just needed to stay an extra day if it was possible. I spoke to the manager Hazel and within a couple of minutes it was fixed. If you are looking for a place to relax and get away from rushing about, we would suggest you would be very fortunate to find a better place. We will be going back now we have found it.

Abgeschiedene Schönheit am Wasser

In einer wunderschönen gelegenen Bucht mit kleiner Hafenanlage sind in mehreren Gebäuden schöne Apartments untergebracht. Modern, großzügige Schlafzimmer mit schöner Aufenthaltsqualität. Im großen Wohnzimmer Blick auf das Wasser. Bei uns gab es eine Sauna. Die Matratzen waren gut die Anlage sehr sauber. Einziger Nachteil: hellhörig zum angrenzenden Apartment. Die nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit kann man nur mit einem Auto erreichen.

UK VACAY

The property was everything promised and even nicer than the photos. Wonderful and up-to-date appliances, comfy beds, great bathrooms ... all good! We enjoyed our time there with easy access to all the sites we wanted to see from 30 mins to 2-hour drives for our day trips. Oban was close by with well stocked grocery stores and many, many restaurants. Would highly recommend.

Stunning views and very accommodating

We unfortunately planned to stay at the Melfort Pier Harbour for one night we would have liked to stay much longer!!! The view out our windows was amazing, the place was clean and comfortable and the rental office was super accommodating. We will plan a longer visit next time.

Great properties, fabulous views, in a secluded waterfront setting.

Just back from a two night stay at Melfort Pier and harbour lodges. The location , views , peace and tranquility of staying at this property have left us totally relaxed and refreshed. We took our two dogs and the walks surrounding the property are excellent. We stayed in the ‘anchorage’ property, a two bed , very spacious lodge, which was very well equipped. It had amazing views over the water from the open plan kitchen / lounge areas. It also had a patio area and terrace around the front of the property which looked onto the pier and harbour. And a special mention for Mary the on site representative. She was a gem and made us feel very very welcome. You may wonder why not five stars? Well the location is truly wonderful and fully deserves five stars . The lodges are fully equipped as mentioned, but the decor and furnishings, bed linen etc in the lodge could be refreshed. So 4 stars overall. Would we go back.. absolutely and we’re already thinking about our next visit.

Des pieds dans l'eau, au calme

Nous avons passé 2 jours dans cet endroit très retiré (le chemin d’accès à voie unique demande un grande attention) L'hébergement Dock Master est spacieux, clair, avec une vue unique sur le loch et les quais privés. L'équipement mis à disposition est parfait. Logement très propre. Tout est conforme aux informations du site. Nous n'avons pas eu l'occasion de rencontrer les gérants, mais la confiance partagée est méritée. Nous recommanderons, dans cette région, cette adresse pour un vacancier voyageant avec un bateau personnel. Une déception : Nous avons visité l'ile de Seil : jolis paysages, mais l'accueil du restaurant signalé au bout de l'Ile ( "Oyster ..." ) ne mérite pas le déplacement.
