The Galley of Lorne Inn

Ardfern is a very pretty village and a great springboard to explore Argyll. The decor is dark but there are tables outside and a great view of the loch from the picnic benches out back. The bar area has a great feel and a regular stream of sailors from the local marina

It was our first bad experience of staying in a room with no windows next to the lake. Please be aware when booking. This bedroom should not be offered to guests staying next to the lake. It should be a store room.

Nice bathr

Perfect accommodation as always. Great location for my colleagues works location. the hotel staff are lovely hosts. No doubt we will see you soon.

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.

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.

Some fruit at breakfast would have been nice.

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.
