Magnifique chateau dans un cadre romantique près d'un plan d'eau. Service irréprochable avec un bar et un restaurant dans une ambiance cosy et traditionnelle. A recommander !

Dommage que le feu de la cheminée était éteint ce jour là : ca aurait été le top !

Uninspiring experience.

Staff friendly.

Cons:

Breakfast arrangements. Having to book a time. Tables too close. Horrible atmosphere. Rather basic Scottish breakfast. No dinner menu in room info pack. Room was rather basic. Pillows were too soft and no alternative.

Great - will definitely return to Falls of Lora Hotel
Pros:

All staff at Breakfast Restaurant and Evening Meals at the Bar Dining Room were exceptionally pleasant and the food provided was 'Top Class'. Thank you all.

We travelled by train to Connel Ferry Station and used the Train service to and from Oban plus further afield trips using the Highland Rover Any 4days in 8days ticket. Excellent value again

Cons:

Unfortunately we had mountain rain, low cloud etc but nobody can plan for the weather

Pros:

De ligging van het hotel en het ontbijt waren prima. Het personeel was ook zeer vriendelijk.

Cons:

Het oude authentieke deel van het hotel was zeer mooi maar wij verbleven in het nieuwe deel van het hotel waarvan de kamers eerder pasten bij een jeugdherberg. Mijn advies is dus een kamer vragen in het oude authentieke deel van het hotel bij booking.
