New Additions to the Animal Family
The ever-increasing menangerie at Loch Melfort hotel continues to provide guest amusement!
Hector, an 8 month old rescue spaniel has been integrating himself with guests (and their dogs), whilst Toby’s nose has been put firmly out of joint. Calum found Hector advertised on the For-Sale board at Tesco in Oban . When Rachel went to visit him the next day at a top floor flat in Oban, she couldn’t leave him behind!

At the same time as Hector arrived we obtained 3 Muscovy ducks, which took to the dogs like ducks to water. Apart from these 3, the ducks showed no inclination to go swimming on the pond at all! After 3 reluctant weeks of swimming only when bread was thrown to them, we decided to add another 9 ducks to the party who do like swimming. At last our guests get to see some pond action!
