We got upgraded to a better room than we had booked! The room we stayed in was very cosy, with lots of storage (shelves and drawers) and a fridge. The decoration was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very well designed and the shower had lots of room. The only thing we might change would be the blinds over the window/door: they looked amazing but did not block the light and I was awaken very early by the brightness in the room. Next time, I'd bring an eye mask.

Our room had amazing views of the loch and mountains in the background. The owner is quite courteous and helpful. The accommodations are outstanding!!! Hot tubs, outdoor sitting areas, two indoor sitting areas with walls that are massive windows overlooking the loch, and a wonderful eating area. It’s quiet, peaceful, and the rooms are well appointed. This is a must stay if you’re in the area and have at least a couple of days.

Fantastic stay in a super apartment
We had an amazing stay at a fantastic apartment. The room was huge, very classy and extremely comfortable. Everything was stylishly presented. We especially love the luxurious bathtub in the room. Our host Gregor was kind and attentive. He alerted us to a problem with one of the tyres of our car and helped us inflate it. We appreciate the wonderful hospitality plus the super apartment!

The place is clean, spacious and very updated. Great sea view from room and a quick drive to town. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful! Highly recommend the food. I recommend verifying details regarding check in and breakfast options prior to arriving to ensure no miscommunications. We did not make arrangements in-person when we arrived and did not receive breakfast the first day although we had emailed and agreed to the price to have breakfast both days prior to arriving. This place is great for solo or couple travelers but do not recommend families or large groups. We had 5 in our group across 3 connected rooms and felt like we were walking on eggshells due to sound traveling with no carpet or fabric to absorb it and all tile flooring. Overall, great place!

Amazing place
Ardtorna is beautifully designed. We stayed in the room on the 1st floor, amazing views across the loch. Karen is super friendly and she runs a tight ship. Every aspect is taken care of and there is amazing attention to detail. The bed was super comfy and the place is spotless with little thoughtful touches such as warmed scones upon arrival, remote control curtains to reveal the amazing view etc. We were on a couple's get away for the night and we throughly enjoyed the peace and quiet. Highly recommended!

This B&B is outstanding in its location next to the Loch, and the beautiful facilities. The place looks and feels brand new even though it was built several years ago. The owner has strived to keep it sparking clean and decorated perfectly. Breakfast is customized to each guest, and Kathy herself does the shopping and preparation each day. We also enjoyed the complimentary scotch, cream whisky, and homemade scones at check-in. It was a wonderful experience overall!

It was a 5star property in all respects lovely room with quality products in the en suite. We much appreciated the nibbles in the fridge and the Jura single malt which are all complimentary. Only sl blip in that the housekeeper who cleaned our room forgot to lock it up on leaving -fortunately no Losses happened. I fully recommend this property.

Room with a view
A few miles north of Oban is the haven of Ardtorna. Immaculately presented spacious rooms have amazing views. The bed was the most comfiest bed I have ever slept in. Karen was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a relaxing evening. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

Beautiful setting with wonderful hosts. Close to the Obin, with all its restaurant and tourist options, but far enough away to be a quiet seaside retreat at the end of the day.

I did not like the communal breakfast arrangements & would have preferred my own table. It all felt rather regimented & the owners need to be a more flexible regarding breakfast times.

Wir waren auf der Durchreise und stießen zufällig auf das Ardtorna. Großartig! Wir haben gleich noch eine zweite Naht dazugebucht. Auf uns machte es den Eindruck, als hätte sich hier jemand seinen Traum erfüllt. Die Unterkunft liegt etwas abseits und ist nicht einfach zu finden, da das Hinweisschild an der A828 sehr dezent gehalten ist. Am einfachsten ist es, wenn man auf die Hinweisschilder der Argyll Pottery achtet und die Zufahrtsstraße schräg gegenüber nimmt. Die Zimmer sind sehr modern und komfortabel eingerichtet. Ich habe selten so gut geschlafen wie in diesem Bett in vollkommener Ruhe. Vor den Zimmern stand immer Whisky und ein selbstgemachter Whisky-Cream-Liqueur kostenlos zur Verfügung. Das Frühstück, das für jeden Gast individuell zubereitet wird, lässt keine Wünsche offen. Es wird sehr viel Wert auf regionale Produkte und Nachhaltigkeit gelegt. Uns hat auch gefallen, dass man am großen Frühstückstisch mit den anderen Gästen ins Gespräch kommt. Zum Lunch oder Dinner können wir das Creagan Inn in Appin (4,2 Meilen nördlich) empfehlen. Nochmal herzlichen Dank an die tollen Gastgeber Sean & Karen!
