Falls of Lora Hotel

It was recommended by Mark at OBAN cycles as I had selected Lora Falls or Oyster Inn. He said Lora Falls would be his choice is better and has a more traditional Scottish feel. It had character, was well located to the bridge as we cycled for 4 days . We took the train from Glasgow and wish we had known it so close to the Connell train station as we could have embarked there rather than in Oban and uber to the hotel. It was quiet and we loved the reading room, the open fires, a great place to relax, conducive to connecting with other travellers, as the bedroom did not have seating space- please do not lose those spaces when refurbishing . Hospitality and food were the standouts of course . Loved my smoked mackerel salad for breakfast !!!

The most amazing getaway in a lovely location. Staff clearly take great pride in their job as they are sincerely helpful, polite and professional. On arrival receptionist gave us information on the bus to Oban that just stops outside the hotel and a map of Oban with all the local bars, restaurants and sites (handy as it is difficult to find parking in Oban so bus is stress free). Also lovely to come back to the tranquility of the Falls of Lora after a being in the very busy Oban centre. The food is great at the hotel too- best food I have ever eaten at a hotel ( hot, plentiful and reasonably priced). Rooms are really lovely, clean, fresh and decorated to a high standard - sockets near mirrors, complimentary bottle of water, spa toiletries etc. all well thought out for comfort.

We have stayed here previously and really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Great pub food and nice rooms, but more expensive than previous stay.

So many things i could say that i liked the location is fantastic great sunsets across loch etive and beyond . Perfectly placed to visit oban or glencoe and beyond are within reasonable distance. Then on return you can relax infront of an open fire in the bistro or residents lounge. The staff are all fantastic from the girls at check-in to Soufiane the bistro manager and his team who are great food is fantastic we ate the all 3 nights of our stay and we both enjoyed every meal and the great service we got. The breakfast team are the same we had Roud on fri and sat such a nice guy we felt well looked afternice to sit enjoy the view at breakfast good variety of options to suit most tastes. Room was clean and tidy and well appointed rest of the hotel is the same and old building that has been nicely looked after a great place to come and relax an independent hotel that makes you feel like a guest rather than just another number and face through the door. Many thanks to all at The Falls of Lora for a great stay.

Lovely room 43 with 4 poster bed and lovely views . Staff great and friendly. Restaurant very busy in evening --full both nights . They had an excellent restaurant manager ,cant remember his name but it was something like Sofin . He was totally in control of the restaurant and it was so obvious to us that he had total respect from his staff . He was there when any junior waiter/waitress were under pressure and helped and guided them . Customers he was always willing to chat to them .Food good especially the proper kippers at breakfast
