Nestling at the foot of rolling hills, Cuilfail Hotel is a splendid former drovers inn and one of the oldest purpose built hotels on the west coast. The hotel was originally built as a drovers' inn, however the majority of the hotel was built during the Victorian era and many features of that period have been preserved.
The main part of the hotel was built in the 1883, the drovers inn is much older and part of it is now our cosy and unique bar. The hotel was built to provide for the fishing in the many hill lochs of the area. For the owners Yvonne and Simon Fletcher, good home made Scottish food using local ingredients wherever possible is very important, Chef's own Steak & Ale Pie, made with prime Scotch Beef is always on the Menu.

We are located conveniently on the A816, 15 miles south of Oban in the little village of Kilmelford, near the shore of loch Melfort in the western Highlands. Take the A82 to Fort William then the glorious coastal road to Oban via Appin, then continue south on the A826 - Kilmelford and the hotel are around 15 miles south of Oban.

We were on holiday with family staying at Melfort Village and found ourselves needing to find a nearby restaurant at extremely short notice due to unforseen circumstances. Within 30 minutes of calling the Culfail Hotel our party of eight were warmly greeted and shown to a table in a beautiful, typically Scottish style dining room. We were presented with a varied menu catering for all tastes and served a delicious dinner. Nothing was too much trouble and our family were treated a wonderful evening! Many thanks and we will be back next year!
