Breakfast was divine and healthy! Bed linens were ironed. The bathroom was refreshing, and I enjoyed the easy access to hiking paths. Superior experience!

Clean, bedrooms, sitting room and sun room very cosy / homely. Lots of pictures, books, ornaments to comment on. Service was excellent, Richard looked after us all. We enjoyed the glass of wine between 5-6pm, as it enabled us to speak to other residents. Cooked breakfast was best I’ve had.

Richard gave us a very friendly welcome. Felt more like staying with family than a guest house. Lots of extras like assisted pickup at the pier cocktails in the sun room.

Could find nothing to dislike. However all other accommodations will now seem sub-standard.

Beautiful accommodation on a magnificent island. No detail overlooked. Most comfortable bed of my entire holiday in Scotland. Breakfast lovely and unhurried. Fell asleep to the sound of the ocean. Heaven.

Can’t think of anything!

Beautiful furnishings, clean and modern facilities. Beds were super comfy and water pressure in the shower was brilliant! Richard was a fantastic host and we were made to feel welcome and relaxed.

Richard was an amazing host. Evening wine was lovely way to transition to dinner in town. Look forward to coming back!

My wife and I stayed 2 nights at Ardoran House in September. We were met at the ferry by John who drove us to Ardoran House. The accommodation was both comfortable and well presented and rooms quite spacious. Location wise it is a short walk to 2 hotels which we dined at plus a Spar co-op. Breakfast was delicious. Richard our host was such a professional who wanted to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We didn’t get the opportunity to have 6 o’clock drinks with him (as we like to eat dinner early) but we still got the opportunity to talk and find out about his interesting life and how he came to manage Ardoran House.

Very friendly host with a delightful property and a wealth of local information and anecdotes. House was very comfortable with carefully co-ordinated decor. Lovely breakfast! We felt like we got a greater sense of the island by staying in a smaller establishment, and very much appreciated being met at the ferry.

Everything about this property is perfect, particularly so the warm, attentive and friendly host Richard who went above & beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable stay. I could sense the happy & positive energies in the house the moment I walked in! Spotlessly clean & spacious, the conservatory was a favourite to relax in and read the many books available, particularly while enjoying the complementary wine in the evening! The hot tub was a joy and the beds extremely comfortable before enjoying a delicious hearty breakfast in the morning. The location is spot on with stunning views over to Mull and easy walking distance to the pier, shops and restaurants. I was very sad to leave and will definitely return!

Having to leave 😢

Everything. Our host was lovely, friendly, and always checking to see if we needed anything. Great breakfast, and we didn't want to leave. Would absolutely go back and are planning a longer visit with other friends.

This was not a problem for me, and I thrived on the many walks, but someone with mobility issues needs to be aware of the walk of 15 to 20 minutes to the two restaurants on the island. Those are the main places to have dinner. Double check about a little taxi service in case this is an issue. And as for getting to Ardoran House from the ferry, we had an easy, delightful pickup and quick drop off. Ardoran's bedrooms are upstairs. I say all of this because a decade ago I was injured whitewater rafting in Uganda, so I know what it's like in those first months to have mobility challenges.

The owner attended to every detail with a discerning eye to make the stay comfortable. My friends and I spent a lot of time in the sunroom when the rains came and enjoyed the setting for cozy conversations. Breakfasts were delicious, with fresh eggs, fruit, yogurt and good coffee and juice.

It was a great location. The host Richard was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. He even offered us a complimentary glass of wine every evening, which we had in his beautiful conservatory. The breakfast was delicious .

I found nothing that needed improvement.

Breakfast was marvelous. Done to perfection. There was a good variety of food available. The location of the house to the venues I was interested in seeing was excellent. Richard was a gracious host and very accommodating. I could not have asked for better!

What was not to like???

Breakfast had a great choice and also the opportunity to mix and match. The excellent food was complemented by the lovely china it was served on. The whole house was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable and the service was caring and friendly.
