The Galley Of Lorne Inn

Great hospitality, food and bar.

At the heart of the village Wonderful views

Cracking breakfast. Excellent quality of the beer in the bar

Fantastic hotel with great food. Quiet when we stayed but assume very busy and buzzing with visitors in the summer due to proximity to the marina.

Great location and fab views.

I loved this hotel. The staff was wonderful. Dinner wasn’t bad but not mind-blowing. Breakfast was pretty good. You could tell that every detail of the room was chosen meticulously for comfort and a smaller environmental footprint. The outdoor space in the back was heavenly to watch the sunrise. I was even lucky enough to have a bunny come hangout with me.

Beautiful lochside view, friendly, helpful staff, good Scottish food, small town feel, room had a warm, comfortable feel

Friendly staff who worked hard. Lovely views from restaurant. Good choice of breakfast options . Also good selection of beer. Enjoyed our short stay

Very picturesque setting & the staff were really friendly. Good selection of Beers & Whiskys

Lovely location overlooking loch. Food was excellent. Staff friendly and accomodating.

Lovely stay food really good and breakfast amazing thank you we stayed in Iona room lighting needs to be better as walls are dark bedding dark but bed comfy good stay overall

Ah, what a gem of a place! A bit off the beaten track, but that's exactly what I was looking for and the Galley of Lorn did not disappoint. The overall air is casual, the staff are friendly and chatty, and nothing is too much trouble. The whole interior looks fairly recently updated, but it's left with enough older features to retain some character. The rooms are all named after Scottish islands, and we stayed in Skye. The room is black and gold decor, done well, not at all overstated. Usual tea and coffee, small fridge (tiny, and tucked inside one of the bedside cabinets,) a safe, hairdryer... Most, if not all, the things you might reasonably expect. The television is probably the largest I've ever seen in any hotel room, which was excellent, and there's an Alexa Show by the bed as well. The bed itself is relatively firm, which suits us entirely. The bathroom is clean and modern. It has an excellent waterfall shower in a double sized shower cubicle, with good water pressure. And then there's the view from the room onto an inlet of Loch Craignish; I'll add pictures. Food, excellent, no complaints. Large plates of well made meals with a focus on locally sourced produce, from Cristian the chef... Don't tell him it's excellent, his head is said to be big enough already. Must mention Laura, receptionist/ barmaid/ waitress, for just being excellent all round.

Great B&B within driving distance of Oban. Food was phenomenal, quiet picturesque area, friendly staff and modern clean rooms.

Not the greatest stay. The room was mostly clean but there were cobwebs around the ceilings and black mould at the bathroom sink. We were given a very welcoming check in tho.

Nice staff. Bedroom decor not to our liking especially compared to photos on website. Good shower. Breakfast was nice. Not sure restaurant is really fine dining.

Great place to stay friendly staff really nice food relaxing chilled atmosphere nice comfortable rooms you will have one of the best night sleep ever and the location is beautiful

Positive: nice (but small) rooms and decorations. Negative: lack of operations. At breakfast time nothing was prepared. Fixed breakfast time during our stay from 08:30h to 09:30h

We were greeted at the Reception by Andrew the Owner and shown to our room by Amanda both of them were very friendly polite and helpful . Our Room was lovely and had everything that we needed in it . The Breakfast was excellent compliments to the Chef also the Girls in the Bar were very friendly and helpful we enjoyed our stay and will be back again.

Very happy with stay. Good food nice beer and a very nice room

The heaters in the room were not working or not hot enough to heat the room properly. We spent most of the night freezing and had to put on several layers to keep warm. I tried to go out in the lobby and hit the call button for someone but no one answered. In the pub, the bartenders didn’t seem to want to service us. There were only a few people in the pub but trying to wave down the bartender or to try to order something was just ignored. They came over to us when they felt like it. The food was ok, just a bit below par for pub food. It’s a shame because it a beautiful place and a beautiful town, and it’s a cozy inn with a great view. The customer service just needs to come up.

Great B&B within driving distance of Oban. Food was phenomenal, quiet picturesque area, friendly staff and modern clean rooms.

Amazing location and building. Breakfast included in the price is a boon. Our bedroom did not have a window and thus, was not entirely comfortable.

Nice staff. Bedroom decor not to our liking especially compared to photos on website. Good shower. Breakfast was nice. Not sure restaurant is really fine dining.

Bed was very uncomfortable and the pillows old and flat. Poor night.

The Breakfast was excellent compliments to the Chef also the Girls in the Bar were very friendly and helpful we enjoyed our stay and will be back again.

The food and staff were excellent, delicious supper and breakfast. The major problem for us was the room. Make sure you are not in the IONA Suite. It is not a suite and the bedroom does not have a window. This was not explained to me when we booked and feel we were misled. We asked to change rooms but none were available so were stuck with it. As a long time user of Expedia we feel very let down and mis-sold.

The staff particularly made for a memorable stay, our first, and made us so welcome.

The place around the property was very scenic with gorgeous flowers. The staff was sweet and very hardworking.

We absolutely loved our stay with at the Lorne Galley hotel. From our friendly welcome to the hospitality. We had a really wonderful stay. Just felt like home. Thanks for the tips on the Viaduct stop over for a picture.. was an incredible spot. Will be back for sure! And loved the dogs!! Thanks again.

The staff at this property were amazing. Very welcoming and always had great stories and a friendly face. Will be staying here in the future.

Friendly staff who worked hard. Lovely views from restaurant. Good choice of breakfast options . Also good selection of beer. Enjoyed our short stay

The staff were extremely helpful, especially Amanda. As I was running late due to traffic I would have missed last order for eating, spoke with Amanda who said they would keep the kitchen open a little longer. Also due to work had to leave before breakfast was served and she sorted a packed meal left in the reception. Food was really good and amazing location.

We enjoyed how quiet it was. And the staff couldn’t do enough to make our stay nice.

Avoid This Hotel – No Power, No Refund, No Accountability I booked The Galley of Lorne Inn for October 2025 through Expedia. On arrival, the hotel had no power and was completely inoperable following a storm. Staff told us we could not stay and that a refund would be arranged through Expedia. Days later, Expedia confirmed they had contacted the property, but the owner refused to authorize the refund, citing a strict cancellation policy even though the hotel could not accommodate guests. Expedia’s agent said they had pushed for flexibility, but the property would not cooperate. To make matters worse, staff later told Expedia they were not allowed to confirm the power outage and that only the owner could speak — yet the owner does not respond to calls or emails. I have travelled internationally for years and have never experienced a property that failed to provide accommodation and then refused any accountability. If you value honesty and professionalism, choose a different place to stay.
