My husband and I stayed at Ardtorna for one night on our visit to Scotland. The property was very clean and had lots of high end touches and finishes. To me, the bed was very comfortable, but may be too soft for some. The location is great, very quiet and peaceful. We did feel a little bit like we were intruding on the property. When we checked in, we had to walk right through the kitchen where the host was cooking to get to our room and our room was directly above the kitchen. It was quite loud in the morning and evening with food preparation and we found the noise really carried. We also found the room to be quite small and stuffy - very little airflow. You couldn’t really open the window without opening the blinds, which made for a very bright morning. Overall we were fairly happy with our stay, but personally I think it was overpriced for the size of the room and us being woken up before 8am.

The property itself if new, clean, and well decorated. The owner/operator Karen is very clinical and lacked warmth. Her interactions with us felt very transactional. There are a lot of cosy and warm and welcoming B and B’s around. If we comeback here, will be looking for another place to stay

Definitely not 5 star service and facilities. Reception was rude and cold , and the room is not at all as represented in the listings. Very noisy with no soundproofing, small room without sitting area, and not a superior double room with two bedrooms as represented. Hotel does not accept credit cards for room service (had to go to ATM 8.5 miles away), and does not provide vegetarian options. 3 star to 3.5 star at best. Seriously misrepresented.

Great B&B place, short drive out of Oban. Hosts are gracious and deserving of their many awards. We even got enough sunshine, to sit outside with tea and fresh scones taking in the most glorious views of distant clouds rolling over the loch.

Lovely small B&B where breakfast is optional (if you're not an early riser). The well-appointed rooms all have a private patio with a comfy love seat and a beautiful view of the loch. A lot of care and thought has been put into the design. Our hostess was lovely and quite helpful and her restaurant recommendation of the Old Inn was truly appreciated - best steak ever in a centuries old stone house. This was a lovely getaway from the more touristy areas and very handy to Glencoe for some very memorable hiking.

A great choice for a luxurious stay in a gorgeous remote setting along the loch. The views of this modern property are divine, the common lounge was well decorated and a great place to observe the sunset. Our room was well appointed, with great bedding and an awesome bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub with jets! There were very nice touches including great toiletries, robes and slippers, and a nice tea service in the room. The room can get hot, but a Dyson fan was included. Do note that when you book through Expedia features like the breakfast and scones on arrival are not included and would be added costs. The hostess offers what looked like amazing food options, but we did not use, so cannot comment.
