Summary: 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.

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

Nick Jul 3, 2025 12:17:22 AM

Summary: 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.

Ray May 24, 2025 02:49:26 AM

Summary: Great service, great food, great rooms, great location, couldn’t ask for anything more

Pamela Apr 30, 2025 03:24:05 PM

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

Peter Apr 18, 2025 11:50:31 PM

Summary: 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.

Kate Apr 4, 2025 05:17:48 PM

Summary: A fabulous three night stay . The staff were friendly and very helpful . Breakfasts and dinner delicious , plenty of options and beautifully presented . I would be very happy to stay for a few days as a solo traveler too as there as you are made to feel like one of the family . And very safe. Thank you .
