    A comfortable, well-appointed house with a nice view up and down the Sound of Mull.

    Only minor details - one or two door handles were not fixed on, and a couple of light bulbs needed replacing. However, these things caused us no problems, so we didn't raise them with the owners at the time. We are sure that, if we had done so, the issues would have been resolved very quickly.

    The property felt like it had been very recently refurbished, very fresh and clean. The background heating was good, with an excellent and very effective facility to add a 'boost' of heat on a chosen radiator. Very full and useful information was provided about the facilities in the house.

    Perfect location for a lovely, comfortable Mull holiday.

    As many reviewers have noted it took a bit of getting used to having the bathroom and only toilet in the porch; however, there are heaters in there which mean it wasn't too bad! Although the house was cosy and warm, it would have been extra delightful if there was a functioning wood burning stove or fireplace to sit around.

    Amazing location; beautiful views. The house was extremely clean, warm, well maintained and furnished. A lovely place to stay to explore Mull.

    We loved our stay in the farmhouse! The location is just stunning, waking up to views of the sea and mountains on the mainland was fantastic. Just a short walk down to a private beach area too, with incredible scenery on a clear day. We were lucky to even see the northern lights from the garden one night! The house itself is comfortable, with plenty of room to relax, and a well-equipped kitchen. Very homely and peaceful, and close enough to Tobermory for essentials. Thank you for the lovely stay, we will definitely be back.

    Nothing negative to say.

    Absolutely loved the location & the house. The owner has thought of every little detail thank you. We even saw a Sea Eagle fly above the house while in kitchen - was amazing. The view and area was amazing - for a nature lover it was the best places. We came to for wildlife photography and enjoy the nature present there. A highly recommended house & place to stay for a beautiful holiday and escape from city.

    Nothing!!it was everything I hoped it would be very tranquil and the weather was amazing I would highly recommend to stay here. it’s ideal for a nice break.Two good sized rooms and a box room. clean and tidy property with a nice kitchen too and utility room.

    Excellent location roughly 20mins from craignure ferry 10mins to Tobermory with sea view red deer near the grounds wish we could’ve stayed longer can’t wait to go back. It’s a beautiful set out house we all had a smile when we walked in.

    Excellent cottage with lots of room. A bit surprised it only has one bathroom considering the size of the property and number of rooms but that wasn’t a problem for my wife and I.

    Immaculately clean and excellent equipment, appliances etc. Large. Beautiful location and garden. much better views of the Sound of Mull than the photos of the property indicate. Excellent private parking and Wi-Fi. I also had a great 4G phone signal but my wife’s was intermittent. heating worked well.

    The bathroom solution is not ideal; quite far from the bedrooms on a different floor. It worked for us, but a separate toilet upstairs would make a difference. I fully appreciate though that it's an old farmhouse and it cannot have been easy to add modern facilities!

    We found the house beautifully refurbished and decorated, clean and very cosy. We also enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen and just the whole setting, including the amazing sea views. A great place for a holiday!

    I didn't like the bathroom being at the front door downstairs. An additional bathroom or shower/ WC upstairs would have been great. I also prefer gas central heating to electric, or if we could have lit the fire in the dining room, (a log burner) which was clearly not to be used.

    The house was nicely furnished and decorated. I loved the wood panelling and it was quite spacious. The kitchen was great with everything you needed to cook a meal easily. We had no problems with wifi. I had taken a book in case, I didn't have the option of using the internet, but didn't read it!

    What an incredible place to stay! The view is spectacular, the farmhouse so spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The bedrooms had plenty of room to hang clothes up as well as chests of draws, and the beds were soft and comfy. There is so much space downstairs, with a room to chill by the tv and a room to eat your dinner with a lovely window seat where I sat to look over the view and read a book, as well as a generous outdoor area and picnic bench from which to watch the swallows and sparrows. The kitchen is well equipped with saucepans, utensils, crockery, baking trays, a huge fridge freezer, a very effective oven, a microwave, chopping boards - everything you could possibly need. The shower was powerful and hot too. It was a perfect home away from home, and one I was very reluctant to leave!

    We'd thought the house looked a little bit basic from the photos, but it was far nicer than expected. The kitchen was modern and well equipped, and the rest of the rooms were simple but very comfortable. The location is ideal - only half an hour max from the ferry, and 10 minutes into Tobermory. We went to every corner of the island during our stay, and the longest drive was to Fionnhport for the ferry to Iona (just over an hour and a half). The views from the garden over the loch are stunning, and you can walk down the farm track to the sea in a few minutes - we didn't see otters there, but there were lots of birds and seals. The perfect cottage for our needs.

    Bathroom downstairs which wasn’t a particular issue but it does mean you have to go downstairs in the middle of the night if you need the toilet. Shame there isn’t a separate toilet in the property.

    The farmhouse was set in a beautiful location. Near Tobermory a lovely little town with quaint shops and places to eat.

    Mattresses and pillows too soft for us. Bathroom was a little small, not much space to hang towels and clothes. Note it's downstairs whilst bedrooms are upstairs.

    Lovely warm bright cottage, well restored. Excellent kitchen, bright warm bedrooms, amazing view. Lots of space. Couple of minor problems which were very quickly resolved by hosts who were responsive.
