A Magical Week at Melfort Village
We spent a full week in the comfort of Melfort Village. Walled Garden Mews No.9 was extremely comfortable for the four of us. We would not hesitate to return for a second holiday there. The apartment was well equipped and very roomy with a wonderful view down to the loch. WiFi in the Walled Garden Mews was excellent.
There is so much to see and do in this beautiful part of the world. The scenery is outstanding and the bush walking on the mainland and the nearby islands is superb. Nearby Oban has some terrific places for eating, drinking and shopping. The restaurant just up the road at Loch Melfort Hotel is not to be missed for a special occasion.
If you are in the Village on a Monday morning and want to know where to go, what to do, and where’s the best eating, check out Olwyn’s Introduction to the Area talk. (I promise, not one mention of Buy Our Timeshare!) Olwyn covers the area from Campbeltown in the south (and the nearby justly famous Muneroy Cafe with its fabulous cakes) to Ben Nevis in the north. Like all the staff at Melfort Village, Olwyn is welcoming and generous with her time and knowledge.
Highlights besides the wonderful walks were the Three Island Trip on the ferries (Mull, Iona and Staffa); a sea eagle, seal, dolphin, deer spotting trip in a small boat; and a trip INTO the mountain to see the Cruachan Power Station.
Tips: You really need a car to stay at the Melfort Village. Some mobile phones providers will have no coverage in the Village (eg. 3) but the Walled Garden Mews supported WiFi based calls. You may not be able to get WiFi in other parts of the Village, including Reception.
We would love to go back!
