One of the many positive comments we get from guests is about our comprehensive guest information folder in their rooms. It has been said on many occasions, "the most comprehensive they have ever seen in a hotel", so why shouldn't it be the same for our website?

Whether it be to the north to Fort William and the mountains of the Nevis range or breathtaking Glencoe, or southwards towards Dunoon or Campbeltown and the stunning Mull of Kintyre, or even eastward and inland towards central Scotland, all can be achieved in a comfortable day trip with The Galley of Lorne Inn being your ideal base.

Of course after travelling to get here in the first place, perhaps lots of time in the car isn't part of your agenda, so that's why we have broken this part of the website into four categories, namely "within 15 miles", "within 30 miles", "within 50 miles" and finally "More than 50 miles". What will be evident is that regardless of how near or far you wish to explore with the Galley of Lorne Inn being your base, there is plenty to see and do.

Nonetheless, if staying local is your want and desire, then we do have the Corryvreckan on our doorstep (the third largest whirlpool in the world), historic Kilmartin Glen with it's standing stones, cup rings and cairns, and Dunadd, the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Dalriada (500AD) all within very easy reach of our Inn. The area where Ardfern is located is known as the cradle of Scottish Christianity! Travelling further a field, but still within easy reach, is a plethora of other attractions including plenty of National Trust buildings and gardens. The list is endless.

Lest it be forgotten that this is only a visitors guide that touches the surface. Afterall, on any trip you are likely to discover a multitude of pretty villages and stunning vistas at each and every turn. Please take your time to look through our comprehensive tourist guide and see for yourself why The Galley of Lorne Inn is about as perfect a location as can be in Scotland to explore the west coast.
