Lower Cooperage - an apartment that sleeps up to 6 guests

Melfort never disappoints; excellent staff and accommodation -only downside on this occasion, Shower of Herring closed until new people reopen it on 10 October. However, nearby Cufail Hotel supplied excellent meals.

We had a fabulous stay in Lower Cooperage. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. We had booked another property and Margaret actually contacted us shortly afterwards and suggested that Lower Cooperage might be more suitable as our son was on crutches following a skiing injury. Olwyn welcomed us and made us feel really special. A fantastic place to chill but also plenty of things to visit on the area. The quality of the property was excellent and the crockery Denby was delightful and plenty of it. A truly fantastic break. We will be back !

Really impressed by this resort. Staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The site is very different from other resorts in having used lots of existing buildings to create apartments. There were so many on site facilities - impressive. Also the level of equipment in the apartment was excellent. Food processor, scales, books and games etc. Scenery is amazing and all around you. Beautiful place to go.

We had a lovely time over the New Year with our family. The accommodation was excellent and well equipped. We would have no hesitation in recommending Melfort Village to anyone thinking of booking a stay there.

We were met with a lovely warm welcome. Cottage was perfect and comfortable with everything we needed. Weather could have been better. But our four legged friend loved every minute of his holidays. As did we. Liked it so much stayed for another week.

Could not fault property or service. If we had to highlight slight niggle was the fact that the floorboards above squeaked and the guests were often on the move during the night. Small point but we have been to many such places and we have never been asked to strip the beds and fold the towels at the door for collection. As we say small niggles which would not put us off returning. We did not use pool area but we enjoyed snooker hall which brought back memories of misspent youth.

We had a very comfortable and cosy few days in lower cooperage cottage. The staff were so welcoming and helpful. A lovely restful break before the rush of Christmas.

This is a good place to experience a peaceful, rural holiday near Oban. The Monday evening musical presentation was wonderful. If you have plans to do things in Oban, it is a half hour drive away. I think basics such as sugar, salt and pepper should be provided for the casual visitors who are only going to be there for a couple of days.

Very comfortable accommodation. Convenient for the restaurant and pool. There was no bedding for the bed settee which we noticed while reception was still open so was able to get some. We tried to book the restaurant but could not get in despite there being empty tables when we collected a take away. Food very good and reasonably priced. The village itself is a great location to do the various trips from Oban which is around 30 minutes away. Accommodation is well equipped also providing extras, i.e. Tin foil, salt and pepper which was very useful. Shower excellent.

Very enjoyable stay. Very familiar both with Lower Cooperage and Melfort in general. Shower of Herring restaurant very welcoming and an absolute pleasure to deal with Kat. Food and drink at reasonable prices. Will look forward to returning next April.
