I've eaten at the galley of lorne fairly often over the last decade - stretching as far back as the previous owners. I've also stayed there overnight. The food is good and it is very clear that the present owners have brought up the standard in every area. But...............you know, I wonder if the bar meals are becoming a little... More

Dear David, Many thanks for your review. Ordinarily a four star review would not require a response other than a note of thanks and such comments as 'There is nothing else to touch it for many miles around' are simply heartwarming.

On arrival we had a warm welcome from chris the manager, who was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay as all staff were. Food was excellent, a lot better than expected. Couldn't fault it at all. Tremendous views of the Loch from the restaurant. The bar was very traditional in a Scottish sense, the warm coal fire was delightful.... More

We stayed at The Galley of Lorne Inn for two nights on our way to the outer hebrides. We chose the location because of the boat trips to the Corryvrecken from Ardfern and also it's easy access to Oban for the Calmac ferries. We really enjoyed the relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
