    The location was great, far from the cities and in a very quiet place. The views were excellent from the bedroom - we had the bedroom with the forest view. The coffee machine in the bedroom was also good.

    Rooms were somewhat cramped in space. Host was not always willing to help with a direct response - "look it up in the book", or "read the instructions" (which I had done so, but they obviously weren't very clear)

    The breakfast was very good - lots of great options. Had a nice view of surroundings.

    The facilities were amazing and the location was perfect, quiet and well away from the roads so no traffic. The property we stayed in was exceptional with a bath and shower in each room and the kitchen had every gadget you could think of needing.

    There was nothing that I "didn't like". But , as I said to our hostess only half-jokingly, it is clearly designed for the Instagram generation. Plenty of photogenic features that meant nothing to me (Sparkle & Snack Station, Salt Station [8 jars with different salts], a fancy table in mid-lounge that was too far from sofas to be useful to anyone sitting down with a cup of tea, cups and cutlery whose handles were not 100% easy to grip, the kettle in the room was impossible to fill with the bathroom tap, etc). Nothing "wrong", just not my style ..........

    The position, especially the bedrooms facing north to the loch. The breakfasts were very good. Our hostess was quick to deal with the minor issues that arose, and to provide advice..

    We stayed in one of the budget rooms. The door to the room seemed to let in quite a bit of noise. It was easy to hear what was happening downstairs.

    The facilities, high standards of cleanliness and presentation. The owner was also very nice and made us feel very welcome :) The location was in a quiet spot and was easy to find with plenty of parking

    The heat was unbearable even with a window open had to move fan beside bed, makes it very uncomfortable to sleep it’s very hot. Need to have some air con or something would not be able to sleep in that room again and loved the place.

    Everything was comfy and spotless

    Nothing we loved it

    Fabulous luxury b&b with optional breakfast and meal packages. Karen is a lovely host and will do her absolute best to give you everything you need for a memorable stay. We were fortunate that the location was in a dark skies area, and we had a clear night the milkyway was visible to see. In fact, I have never seen so many stars. Our room had a balcony with a view of the Loch, spa bath and a super comfy bed. I would definitely recommend a stay at Ardtorna

    We didn't feel like we had a very warm welcome, maybe because we had a room only rate and not any of the additional food packages, so we weren't shown anything in the main lodge. The decor was a bit fussy for my taste, but that's personal taste. Personally I would like to see more emphasis on outside spaces and landscaping. We didn't have a coffee machine and fridge in the room as per the blurb.

    The room was very spacious, with lovely floor to ceiling windows. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the bath was luxurious Spotlessly clean and the location is great, just 20 minutes outside Oban.

    The pricing is a bit steep for a B&B.

    The property is about 15-20 minutes from the town of Oban where all the restaurants etc are. SO you do need a car / taxi. Karen has maintained the property very well and the location is peaceful and has a great view of the loch, We did not have any meals here so would not be able to comment on the same. Went to a place call The Barn (about 30 minutes away) which was great.
