    WiFi was unstable, but from talking with the property team it was unusual and seemed to be an issue in the area, so hopefully this is not normal for other visitors.

    Beautiful location, tastefully decorated.

    The bed was a double and just slightly on the small side as a result.

    The location was exceptional albeit remote. The road at the front was quiet and the views uninterrupted. Small cottage but had everything for 3 people.

    It's hard to think of anything.

    The property was very well presented, easily meeting the standard shown in the official photos. It would be hard to find a better location, remote enough to feel special but with facilities available for supplies (with a little planning). The views of the landscape and wildlife were really excellent.

    The double bed is unsuitable for people >185cm, it’s simply too short. Also the mattress is too soft + pillows are too hard and should be replaced. Mattress in the smaller bed was much better, but also too short ;-)

    The house, the garden, the view were great!

    The Isle of Mull is a long way from dual carriageway motorways..all the roads though are bitumen, and you quickly learn the single lane road and passing bays.

    The situation is perfect. The house is comfortable..good hot water and heating. Our bed was comfortable. The decoration is stylish. Good lighting. The weather was good enough to use the outdoor furniture!! Tobermory is lovely.

    One track roads around Mull a bit difficult in places, particularly on 'scenic routes' but also great for seeing wildlife and amazing views.

    Fantastic views of the Loch. Cottage had good facilities. Delightful place to stay, would definitely recommend.

    I think it would have been nice to have a small essentials welcome pack but we were completely aware of this when we arrived so had everything we needed - also there is no hanging space so if you are staying for a longer period, this could be a problem - we were ok for three nights.

    Beautiful little cottage right out on it's own with lovely secluded garden and wonderful views over the sea to the front and woodland to the rear - we had visitors everyday - highland cattle with their calves, rabbits, sheep - it was so relaxing and quiet - perfect holiday location.

    Idyllic location on the west coast of Mull with views from the windows and garden over the bay and island of Ulva. Very quiet and peaceful with a shortish walk down to the rocky shoreline or a slightly longer one to a sandy beach. Wildlife all around including eagles spotted nearby plus a hedgehog we saw walking right past the front gate one evening!

    The pictures do not do this place justice. It is epic. Peace and quiet just the sound of the Curlew’s. Plus that view was something, one we’ll always remember.

    Nothing not to love

    Fabulous holiday house, cute and very comfortable. Very clean and has everything you need for self catering. Great location for exploring Mull. Not far from Ulva ferry for boat trips. Decorated beautifully with a nod to its Scottish location in the fabrics and pictures. Amazing views, quiet and peaceful. Loved everything about it.
