    Can't think of a single thing we were disappointed with.

    A really beautiful, well-appointed two bedroom apartment in the heart of the scenic Salen on Mull. Close to the great Salen Hotel, a Spar, a filling station for the car, and in a great location halfway between Craignure and Tobermory. The property is spotless and cosy, with a woodburning stove stocked with wood for colder nights. The beds are comfy, and the setting is peaceful and relaxing. Oh, and how could I forget: there's a bakery that does incredible cakes and pastries literally one door down. Amazing place!

    The shower is a bit small (not suitable for obese or very tall people) and like many British houses it’s electric which makes it a bit hard to adjust in temperture and not adjustable in pressure…but hey, who’s complaining. It’s 5 minutes of your day!

    We stayed in the Teacher’s Apartment. Very clean and spacious, good kitchen (everything you need is there), living room with open fire, plus parking on premises. The owners are easy to reach (live next door). The town itself is small, but has a well-stocked supermarket and is a convenient point for exploring the stunning Isle of Mull. There is a hotel with restaurant next to the Old School. The food is average, but staff is very kind and we had a great evening loosing from the locals in quiz night!

    It was a bright, spacious apartment with all the amenities including an easy-to-use washing machine. And it was one of the cleanest I have ever stayed in. One of the many thoughtful touches that I really appreciated was the box of tissues in most rooms. Also, no stairs and parking right outside the door. It is in the middle of the pretty village of Salen, with nice walks around and the Hotel next door for a delicious, hot meal.

    The property is located in Salen ., literally in the middle of east coast of the island of Mull. This was a good location for us as we wished to visit both the north & south of the island. The property was comfortable & well fitted out for self catering. A helpful, responsive host.

    This was an amazing flat. Our stay was excellent, the flat is super cozy, clean and comfortable and the location perfect to travel the island. Also next to a pub and a lovely coffee shop for the days you feel lazy. We were traveling with our three month old son and Heather was more than accommodating with providing a cot and everything we needed. The pictures do not give it justice. It is full of light and very modern and the kitchen very well equipped.
