The fifth time we have stayed at Melfort Village, but the first time in Quarry Cottage. It is the highest property, and the outlook is excellent. Maintenance of the cottage, and of the whole complex, is of the highest order.
Despite a very poor weather forecast, our week was not spoiled by rain. There was a little, but not enough to stop us from exploring the area, and our day on Luing was exceptionally bright.
All members of staff we encountered were very helpful and anxious to please.
We ate in the Shower of Herring on our first night and the quality of the food was superb. We did not stay for coffee, however, as the rush of customers was overwhelming the only waitress on duty.
Molly, our Bearded Collie, enjoyed the walks around the village and particularly (as always) paddling in the Oude.
