Bookend Cottage Reviews

First of all, I have to say that of all the places I have stayed on Mull, this is my favourite. I really like the modern decor. If I could I would buy but Book-End cottage and live there full time. The owners did an amazing renovation on this property.
As per usual, Isle of Mull cottages were extremely helpful answering all my questions before arrival.They are a great company to deal with.
I like having the bedrooms downstairs and having 2 bathrooms is wonderful and what I am used to. Properties with 2 bathrooms are extremely hard to find on Mull.

Bookend cottage is a beautiful property, so bright clean and well presented. It’s in a great spot, a short walk up the hill from the harbour. Very quiet and cosy, with lovely views. It’s clearly been recently renovated and is stylish and new throughout. Mull is beautiful and Tobermory is a unique spot to explore from. A great choice for a Hebridean holiday!

We had a great week in Bookend, very comfortable and loved the picture window! Quibble would be the lack of blackout in the bedrooms.

Just back from another fabulous week in Bookend Cottage. Cool, stylish, spacious and well equipped, with a stunning view from the huge doors in the living space. Minor improvements would be blackout blinds in the bedrooms, the nights are very short in summer, and a footstool upstairs now that the chaise sofa has been replaced. It’s a steep walk up from Main Street and I loved putting my feet up and looking out over the bay when I made it back up!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. We had no problem parking right outside. The view from the big living room window was fantastic. It was a treat just to sit and look out. The cottage is really warm and cosy. We had a week of very cold nights but did not need to put the heating on or use the wood burning stove. There isn't a shaver socket but Brown's in Main Street supplied an adaptor for £1.50. Otherwise, the cottage is very well equipped and very comfortable. We would happily return and recommend this cottage to others without hesitation. A gem!

Very comfortable and cosy cottage in a great location. Property is very well laid out and equipped and the view from it is amazing. An excellent time was had by all.

Bookend Cottage was a fabulous place to stay for a week. It was well furnished, quiet, comfortable and the view from the living room is fantastic. We would definitely go back and stay again!

Overall, a fantastic cottage. We will definitely stay there again, but it does have a few *MINOR* irritations: 1) no companion set for the fire, so how do you remove ashes after using it?; 2) measly amount of bin bag liners provided (had to buy our own); 3) only 6.5 (yes, 6.5!) dishwasher tablets provided for 7 nights' stay; 4) no instructions on bin collection days; 5) no recycling bin; 6) no induction hob instructions; 7) no dishcloths; 8) no DVD player; 9) own coffee percolator useless on induction hob. But still, a wonderful cottage, and would gladly stay again.

A fabulous cottage with a beautiful view just,, if you can handle the steep hill, a short walk to the front. We had a very good week here - thank you!!

We loved this cottage and its five star view towards the harbour. The best Scottish cottage we have stayed in over the last 18 years. Our quibbles are the same as Honor Woods's in May 2023. The washing machine is great but isn't a washer dryer. 3 of the 4 frying pans don't seem to work on the induction hob. There is no DVD player as stated on the website. Directions for foot passengers would be appreciated. We went up the scenic route through the wood with our suitcases, which was a challenge, there is a much easier route up just before the Coop. Despite these quibbles, we will be back!

This is a very well equipped, light airy cottage, beautifully designed. Never been so comfortable or warm staying in the Scottish isles. Great view to look out upon. Great showers. Altogether very happy with the cottage.
Our quibble would be the lack of any instruction manuals on how to use anything electrical apart from the heating /boiler. I struggled with the induction hob and washer/dryer. Also no instructions when to put the bin out. Lastly we had travelled by plane, train and ferry to get here and there is no welcome pack of any sort. Just wanted a cuppa!
Yes we would come back.

Wonderful accommodation for our new year break in Tobermory. Very comfortable, lovely and warm. Spacious and well equipped. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you -we had a great time.

Another fabulous stay in this lovely cottage. Excellent views to the harbour, very modern and light, well equipped and comfortable. We love the open plan space and having two bathrooms is also great. Easy parking, quiet neighbourhood and a friendly cat too! We would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back again next year.

We had a lovely stay in Bookend cottage, stunning views of the harbour, accommodation is excellent , very modern and clean. Really enjoyed our stay and would book again.

Great accommodation, it’s well laid out for family use with all the equipment needed for a stay.
Good wifi, and lots of sockets for charging gadgets.
Friendly cat from next door!

We had a lovely stay in the Bookend Cottage. The location is great and the house has great views over Tobermory. The kitchen is well equipped, and the rooms had good storage. The upstairs is definitely the best aspect of the house, very spacious and comfy couches (nice to not have leather!) The only drawback for me is the lack of privacy downstairs with people easily able to see in the bedrooms unless you had the blinds closed, which would possibly put me off future visits but we still enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time in comfortable cosy surrondings at Bookend Cottage. The design is great and and the feature windows offer spectacular skyscapes....Very spacious and well equipped!

The cottage was as advertised and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The living area is comfortable, bright and airy and the picture window is fantastic with great views. Highly recommend this property.

We loved our stay at Bookend Cottage. The modern open plan living/kitchen area is perfect to relax in, whilst looking out at the fabulous view over Tobermory to the sea. The cottage is well equipped, with lovely furnishings, modern bathrooms and comfy beds. It's on a quiet street with easy parking and good access to all that Tobermory has to offer. Would highly recommend.

A lovely, well equipped and comfortable cottage. Amazing views over Tobermory. As others have said it's a steep walk back from the town to the cottage but there are great views to be had as you do it.

Bookend Cottage is a lovely and sympathetically mordenised cottage in a fabuolous location in Tobermory. It has a superb and very comfortable living area with huge picture window giving amazing views of the harbour. A great place to explore the amazing Isle Of Mull from. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and hope to return soon. Highly recommeded.

A beautiful cottage on a beautiful island. The huge window in the lounge opens up and allows you to admire the wonderful views of Tobermory bay. We had a great time. The cottage is ideally located for walking down to the main street. It is a steep climb back up but you can take breaks to admire the scenery.

Absolutely beautiful house. Loved the design and the amazing view. Fully equipped house. Comfortable and good location within short walk of local pubs, shops, etc.. We'll definitely use IoMCottages again.

Great cottage with fabulous views - perfect for reading a book with a glass of wine. Clean, comfortable and highly recommended.

Great location and the layout makes most of fantastic view. Tobermory is full of great things to d Mull cheese, light house walks, aquarium, distillery and more.

Bookend Cottage is a very well designed cottage with a lovely living space. The views are amazing and it is very relaxing to look down into the harbour from the living room. The one thing which stopped us giving a 5 star review was that a few items needed better maintenance. Otherwise highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful house. Love the design of bedrooms downstairs where it's cooler and the living area upstairs with the amazing view. Fully equipped house. So comfortable. We'll definitely be back.

Clean and very well presented cottage with great view and very easy to use log burner.I think additional seating in garden would be useful as present seating is out of the sun mid afternoon when many people return from walks. The climb up from the village is very steep and if you mobility issues you would need a car..

A fantastic cottage beautifully presented, equipped with everything. A few minutes walk to the harbour front of Tobermory. Excellent, thank you.

A beautiful property on a beautiful island. Huge window in lounge allows great views of Tobermory bay. We had a wonderful time. It is a steep climb up from Tobermory Main Street meaning we did drive down particularly when shopping. Overall a great place to stay.

We stayed in this wonderful cottage for our honeymoon. Lovely views from the lounge. Well equipped and spacious with comfortable bed. Had a really relaxing week in a quiet location. Mull is a fantastic island.

Had another great week in Bookend Cottage - weather not quite as good as last year but didn't stop us going out walking every day. Men completed the Mull cycle ride (long course) for third consecutive year.
Really comfortable lounge/diner to relax in and enjoy the views from floor to ceiling window, which opens up fully.
Nice quiet location within easy walking distance to the harbour and good restaurants/hotels. Lovely place to stay and unwind. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous cottage. Very clean and very well equipped. We loved opening the big doors every morning to the view.

Fabulous cottage with fantastic view from upper floor lounge. Very relaxing space. We had wall to wall sunshine the week we were there so spent a lot of time outdoors but so nice to come back to. Highly recommended and will definitely return.

Excellent place to stay, superb view from the lounge. Never got to grips with the "oven", but everything else was fine.

Brilliantly designed modern conversion/extension. Very well furnished and equipped. Superb location and view. Spacious and airy open plan living space on first floor. Very comfortable bedrooms and spotless bathrooms below. An exceptionally good holiday cottage.

Great place to stay lovely cottage had everything we needed.
could not have asked for more.

Wonderful design of cottage, lounge/dining/kitchen open plan upstairs with glorious views, 2 bedrooms downstairs, one en-suite - perfect, really. Very comfortable & cosy - log fire was lovely in cold June weather! Totally relaxing.

Well designed cottage feels spacious and airy. Well fitted out kitchen with all mod cons. En-suite and family bathroom were clean, fresh and spacious too.
Great accommodation, great food, fantastic scenery and great weather - who could ask for more?

Beautiful cottage with stunning views. A fabulous home away from home. Highly recommended.

Great place, Agree with "the mysteries of the microwave/oven combo!" comment

Bookend cottage is perfectly situated, comfortable and relaxed. Mull is a great island, lots of wildlife, walks and with breathtaking views which change around every corner.

Immaculate cottage with all the facilities you need for a stay on Mull! Very clean and modern, lovely and warm, wood fire, powerful showers, endless hot water etc etc. Have stayed here 3 times and will be back.

We liked the cottage very much -- generously heated and well equipped, with a sittingroom to die for! Our only quibble is the mysteries of the microwave/oven combo!

Loved it. Loved the cottage. Loved the view. Loved the town. Loved the island.
