Loch Melfort Oyster Leases
Loch Melfort Oyster Leases
Asknish Bay. The view of Asknish Bay from Loch Melfort Hotel. The nearest islet is Eilean Creagach, and the low-lying land beyond is the island of Shuna. Beyond Shuna is the grey outline of Scarba, and Jura is faintly visible in the distance at left. Amazingly, 1272932 was taken only a few minutes later, such was the changeability of the weather.

Former Arduaine House Although it was built as Arduaine House, this is now the main building of the Loch Melfort Hotel. The extension on the right is the dining room, and the other ground floor windows are the lounges. All have a magnificent sea view.

Arduaine Farm The new roads leading down to the shore from Arduaine Farm are like raw gashes in the green landscape. The one on the left leads to a jetty in use by an inshore fishing boat, and on the right to another jetty which is not in use. The land is being grazed, if that is the correct term, by a small herd of black pigs. Taken from the small steep knoll by the shore.

Hands down my favorite hotel during my trip. On the day of my check-in, I made dinner reservations and unfortunately I ran into car trouble so I was going to miss dinner hours by 20 minutes.

Upon arrival at the gates, a herd of deer greeted us. The cottage, the appointments, the location, the tranquility did not disappoint. As birdwatchers, we enjoyed morning walks with various birdsongs. We would definitely return.
