Music Night is back tomorrow from 9.30pm (16th October) ... and if you didn't come along to the last one on the 2nd October, here's what you missed.

Alex only makes a special appearance every so often, but visitors love his performances every time!

Evening views from the hotel across the water this week. The evenings are getting darker earlier, and October has certainly brought those autumn night time feels 🍂

Our end of October/November availability is filling up, so book your stay today: https://lochmelfort.pulse.ly/az9zup4bwn

A different perspective from one of our music nights! 🎶The view from behind the bar.

Peter managed to capture a few photos of our surprise guest, Alex, playing the bagpipes for everyone on the 2nd Oct.

We love how our music nights bring people together, and it's always nice when there's an unexpected addition to the evening!

Thanks for joining us, Alex, and thanks to Peter for the photos. 😊

We get asked A LOT, "Are you dog-friendly', so for all our new visitors, yes, we are!

We have two rescue dogs of our own, and they love nothing more than a walk down the hotel patch to the shoreline for rock pool sniffies.

We have a dedicated pet-friendly page on our website with all the information you need for your holiday here with your dog.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Last year, we asked you to tell us about your favourite Scottish businesses for our Christmas gift guide, and you gave us so many brilliant suggestions that we’re doing it again. 🎁

This year, we’re particularly keen to discover something new.
Perhaps a local maker has launched a new product, a favourite Scottish business has something special planned for Christmas 2026, or you’ve discovered a small business that more people should know about.

We’ll be using your suggestions to put together our 2026 Scottish Christmas Gift Guide, so please drop them in the comments 🎄

A very big congratulations to Chloe and Chris! 🥂❤️

We loved having them here to celebrate their wedding with us at Loch Melfort.

From photos overlooking the sea here at the hotel to a trip next door to Arduaine Garden, Kayleigh Scott Photography captured their day beautifully.

And make sure you scroll to the end to see how Chris arrived… 👀

Thank you for choosing to celebrate such an important day with us, Chloe and Chris. We hope married life is treating you very well! ❤️

Live Music Night this Friday - will you be joining us?

Our next traditional music evening is Friday (2nd October) - we host these on the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month, with the help of talented local entertainers.

Music starts at 9.30pm, so why not book a table for dinner beforehand?

Please note: Our performers are all local volunteers and so our music nights are always subject to their availability.
