Cosy, amazing view and food
Amazing room with a 360° view in front of a loch. Fully equipped with high-end features and a lot of charm. Really cosy for a couple. Private terrace to enjoy the sunset.
Platters for the dinner and cooked breakfast are also perfect, Karen is really a good chef !

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.

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.

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.

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.

A great choice for a luxurious stay in a gorgeous remote setting along the loch. The views of this modern property are divine, the common lounge was well decorated and a great place to observe the sunset. Our room was well appointed, with great bedding and an awesome bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub with jets! There were very nice touches including great toiletries, robes and slippers, and a nice tea service in the room. The room can get hot, but a Dyson fan was included. Do note that when you book through Expedia features like the breakfast and scones on arrival are not included and would be added costs. The hostess offers what looked like amazing food options, but we did not use, so cannot comment.

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.
