The Galley of Lorne Inn

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
