Country House bed and breakfast accommodation
South of Oban with views of Loch Melfort

Glenmore

Argyll
West Coast Scotland

A warm welcome at a family home, a country house bed and breakfast on the romantic West coast of Scotland

Glenmore is set under a backdrop of heather-covered hills on a grassy terrace overlooking meadows which stretch away to the shores of Loch Melfort. The air is clear, you can smell the scent of the Atlantic, the light changes quickly as clouds form and unform hiding and revealing the blue and flashes of sun.

The terrace and view across meadows to Loch Melfort.

This area of Argyll has been inhabited since the Mesolithic period, and there is an extraordinary abundance of rock carving, standing stones, cairns and henges from around 5000 years ago in the area. Together with the gentle beauty of the landscape, it is no wonder many call this place magical.

Melissa and Alasdair Oatts welcome guests to this their friendly, informal and relaxed home which has been in Alastair's family since the 1850s. A new wing was added in the 1930's and a fascinating carved oak staircase. There is mellow old pine woodwork, an unusual decorative plaster cornice, pictures and antique furniture.

The two guest bedrooms that Alasdair and Melissa have set aside for their bed and breakfast guests look out over this wide panorama, one in the "New Wing" the other, the Yellow Room, in the older part of the house which dates from the middle of the 1800s.
