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

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.

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.

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!

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!

No scones for you! I have mixed feelings about our stay at Adtorna. The facilities are nice and location good. However, I have two issues. First, the facility was purpose built but lacks character. It reminded me of a modern German hotel. Second, and most importantly, the owner does not like Expedia customers. For example, all customers get fresh scones and cream upon check-in, except anyone who booked through Expedia. I asked the owner about this and it was because they get less of a cut from Expedia clients. I then asked why they put their booking on Expedia, and they said that "the exposure is priceless" and it helps drive customers to book directly through their website. All that is fine, but why discriminate against the customer? In my opinion, that is very bad business that demonstrates a lack of try concern for the customer experience. All over a a simple scone! At least I got to experience the nice fresh baked smell!

This beautiful property overlooks a loch and hills beyond. The quiet surrounds and easy parking were perfect for our adult getaway. The room was spectacular with a full wall of windows to appreciate the fantastic view along with other thoughtful, luxurious touches. Since restaurants are a bit of a drive, we ordered the seafood platter for dinner. One of the best decisions we made this trip. It was sublime. A stay at Ardtorna, and a chance to enjoy the gourmet breakfast, are two of the reasons we'll be back to Scotland.

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.

Das gebuchte "Executive Zimmer, Meerblick,27m2" gibt es vor Ort nicht! Hier: Superior Zimmer lt. Homepage. Sauber, leider festmontierter Duschkopf in der Badewanne (Bereitlegen einer Duschhaube wäre hilfreich gewesen). Besondere Grünteebeutel (bzw. überhaupt welche) und besondere Kekse im Zimmer habe ich bei dieser Kategorie (5Sterne) vermisst. Kontinental Frühstück, kein Käse. Für 25GBP besteht die Möglichkeit aus 12 warmen Gerichten sich durch ankreuzen am vorgefertigten Zettel (Abgabe am Vorabend), eines auszusuchen. Der "Smoked Salmon Bagel Platter" ist ein aufgeschnittener getoasteter Bagel (wenn man Pech hat wird er verbrannt serviert) mit Philadelphiakäse und einigen Streifen von geräuchertem Lachs. Die "Scottish Platter" ist ein Würstchen, Schinkenspeck(?), 2Eiern, Tomate, Hash Brown. Ob, beides in Summe 50GBP wert sind, darf jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Wie manche Vor-Kritiker schon bemerkten, stimmt auch für mich, hier das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht. Am Schlimmsten war für uns aber der Zwang, dass alle zahlenden Kunden um genau 9 Uhr am Frühstückstisch zu sitzen hatten (Kindergarten-Regeln), erst das Müsli zu essen hatten (wenn man es wollte), und dann gab es erst das bestellte warme Gericht. Schlimm war auch die aufgesetzte Freundlichkeit und die nassen oder gegelten Haare der Hausdame. Insgesamt, eher ein unsympathisches Ambiente. Schade.

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.
