Information
CRAOBH
Nestling on the north shore of the Craignish Peninsula, the village of Craobh Haven is the antipathy of what we have come to expect from a British new town. Built to alleviate the housing problems of Argyll in 1993 the village has quickly established a reputation as a popular getaway. With its magnificent panoramic views of the islands of Shuna, Shiel, Lung and the Highlands of Mull you could be forgiven for thinking Craobh had existed for centuries.
A magnet for the sailing and boating fraternity, Craobh’s marina attracts yachtsmen from all lover Europe, keen to take advantage of the sheltered waters and plentiful moorings. With only a few shops, a restaurant and a pub, paying a visit to the village really does give you a sense of getting away from it all; and in the unlikely event you do get the urge to see more people the town of Oban is only a short distance away. It has to be said most visitors find they don’t have nearly enough time to enjoy the spectacular walks and explore the islands. The local wildlife is abundant with countless species of birds making the area a paradise for naturalists and ornithologists. But Craobh is probably best appreciated by visitors that simply sit back and relax, forget about time and lose themselves in the truly magnificent surroundings.

Accommodation, Wifi
This delightful little inn style hotel nestles invitingly at the foot of rolling hills close to the shores of Loch Melfort, in the quiet roadside hamlet of Kilmelford, 14 miles south of Oban.
Part of the hotel was originally an old drovers' inn, however the majority of the hotel was built during the Victorian era. The name Cuilfail (pronounced 'cool-fail') in Gaelic appropriately means "Sheltered Corner".
The atmosphere is one of total peace and tranquillity.
Bars & Inns, Private Functions, Restaurants
Two contrasting dining areas provide the perfect setting for enjoying delicious uncomplicated Scottish cuisine. The Ocean restaurant is a small bistro style room close to the Poachers Bar, and there is a lovely spacious dining area next to the magnificent residents' lounge. Food is regularly available in the Poachers Bar.
Dinner, Supper, Snack and Lunch menus are available daily.
The inn is one of the area's most popular and favourite country eating out experiences. Much of our produce, including wonderful Scotch beef, comes from the surrounding farms and our local farmers are very discerning about how their endeavours are presented and flavoured on the plate, yet are some of our very best regular customers so there is a local recommendation if ever there was one! Local fisherman love our fresh fish too.
