Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. It was comfortable for 4 adults, but rather noisy due to being directly above the bar and music. The room size was good, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was just okay. On the positive side, the room was spacious, clean, and dog-friendly.
The hotel offers stylish and comfortable rooms, though a bit noisy in the morning due to its location next to a road. The service is exceptional with very friendly and helpful staff. The location is ideal for exploring Mull, showcasing beautiful scenery and offering a superb restaurant. The dining experience, while preordered and prompt, lacks variety. Overall, a good option for a stay in Mull.
The hotel is located in a beautiful spot with stunning views, making it ideal for exploring Mull. The service was incredible, though there were rare instances of being forgotten. The dining experience was excellent with prompt and fresh meals, but the pub area smelled of beer. The rooms, especially with the window open, were excellent for the price, offering a comfortable stay. However, the location was a little remote with limited amenities nearby in Tobermory.
After a day of exploring Mull, our cozy B&B room with stunning views over the surrounding hills was clean and comfortable, complete with a lovely bath and piping hot water. The price of the room was well worth it!
The hotel provided a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were cozy but a bit small for a family, considering the price. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. The location was ideal for exploring Mull but somewhat isolated with limited services. The dining options were satisfactory though with room for improvement.
My 4-night stay at this hotel was fantastic! The room was huge and very comfortable for my family of 4, especially for the cost of £159.00 per night. The service was super friendly and helpful, and the location turned out to be perfect to explore Mull. The dining was really super, and the facilities were great.
