Cruachan Reviews

Third time we’ve stayed at these cottages and will most certainly book again. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Warm and cosy with friendly and approachable owners. Thanks.

Fantastic cottage, arrived to the lit log burner, that was the only day it was needed, week of sunshine. Cottage is well equipped. We will be back again.

Wonderful stay in a cottage we rented before. Great location with nice views over the Tobermory bay.
The cottage had everything we needed. We used the wood burning stove a few times.

Another wonderful stay. Cruachan was the perfect home from home. Great location equipped with all that we needed.

Perfect stay. Excellent local knowledge from owners. Spacious and comfortable accommodation - met all our needs as a party of four using three bedrooms. Would definitely use again. Thank you !

Lovely cottage for our base for a lovely, sunny, calm week. The directions to the house were spot on. Brian was attentive to our additional needs and provided a stool and grab rails for the downstairs shower, which we asked for hopefully on booking. Nothing was too much trouble. Would absolutely recommend.

Great cottage modern well equipped and clean. Great help from the owneers. The cottage had everything we needed and when he weather was good we enjoyed sitting out in the garden. Very relaxing holiday.

Excellent, modern clean and cosy house with all facilities. The garden and patio are really good and the views over the bay are lovely. The very friendly owners Brian and Lynne live next door and gave us lots of good advice about the island's many attractions. In colder weather the wood burning stove and limitless supply of free logs would be ideal!
Thanks again Brian and Lynne for a great week; we hope to be back soon!

Lovely, well equipped house with sunny patio. Excellent for our reunion with friends. Appreciated the log burner with logs on our one cold day. Brian shared helpful tips and fresh herbs. Good exercise walking up the hill from town centre!

Lovely house - immaculately clean and well equipped. Beds very comfortable. No hesitation in awarding 5 stars. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely stay in Mull where we were lucky to have7 dry days most of which were sunny!The cottage was excellent as per previous reviews and the front patio was baking on a few of the afternoons!!
Brian and Lyn were very helpful but not invasive our our privacy. We had one issue which was dealt with quickly.Lovely log burner , with free logs, was great when we needed it.We are happy to recommend these cottages to our friends .

This was very high up on our list as one of the nicest cottages we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail was fantastic, the owner Bryan was very helpful and we were made very welcome. This delightful home from home for us was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and we loved it. We will be back if we come this way again and Tobermory was as good as it is in the photos.

We stayed end of March into April. Cruachan cottage was easy to find and when we arrived the cottage was ready with a lovely log burning fire on. It was so cosy and the owners were lovely and introduced themselves.We had a lovely week on Mull, mostly dry and the cottage was a great base to explore from. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. Spacious and decorated lovely I loved the puffin theme! There was plastic crockery and normal crockery which made it so child friendly. It is handy for Tobermory main street, bit of a hill if walking but it was easily manageable. Recommend!

We were met by host, Brian, who had the stove burning and house warm for us on a cold January day. Very welcoming and helpful hosts for whom nothing was a problem. Brian and Lynn have great knowledge of the area and helped point out many lovely walks. We would definitely highly recommend Cruachan Cottage and hosts, Brian and Lynn.

As we head home tomorrow we do so with wonderful memories of Mull,Iona & Cruachan Cottage. Fantastic accommodation,with everything provided that you need.Owners are nearby and are so nice & friendly. Nothing is of any bother.I have already recommended the accommodation to family & friends & we will be back at some point. We have loved Cruachan Cottage.

We stayed for a few days in January and it will be our first choice the next time we visit.
We were greeted by a lit fire and Lyn dropped over with a warm welcome a few minutes later.
We were only two but this spacious house was equipped to cater for a decent sized family with a double room downstairs, a double and twin upstairs, all of which are complimented with bathroom on both levels, and you will have no problem with cooking a Sunday roast in the well appointed kitchen.

Wonderful

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again. Appreciated the extra touches of biscuits and coffee. The host (Brian) was there to greet us in the dark and showed us around the property. Endless supply of logs for the woodburner was a great addition. The standard of cleanliness on arrival was exceptional. Great location for Tobermory shops, bars etc. No outside noise and brilliant for dark skies. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cruachan Cottage. It had everything we needed to be comfortable and cozy. It's a great location to access Tobermory to shop and enjoy the harbor town. We appreciated Brian greeting us with a warming fire in the woodstove when we arrived on a chilly afternoon. Lynn was gracious and so willing to help us several times with unfamiliar appliances. It was quiet, relaxing and hard to leave.

Have stayed in cruachan and lileas numerous times,the high standard never falters,Brian and Lynn are brilliant hosts and it is always good to catch up with thier latest news.the homes are maintained to the highest standards and a real pleasure to stay in.we always meet some interesting people in tobermory,and the scenery as you drive around the island is amazing.Thanks again Brian and Lynn hope to see you again soon.

Fantastic holiday home! Brilliantly equipped, ideal for a family stay with young kids.
Close to Tobermory so ideal for shops, supplies, cafes, pubs, restaurants etc.
Amazing hosts. So helpful with things to do and places to go.
Will use again! Brilliant! 10/10

Had a great time. Although Brian wasn't going to be there when we arrived in Tobermory he got in touch to advise of his number for any problems that may arise. He need not have worried, everything was perfect even down to the welcoming coffee and biscuits.

Just had a very comfortable stay at Cruachan Cottage. Plenty of room for 4 Adults and 2 Children with our very friendly accomodating hosts Brian and Lynne. Close enough to Tobermorys bustling High Street but situated up a quiet private lane. Would definately book again.

Lovely clean, light and airy cottage, ideally located for walking to the pubs and restaurants of Tobermory, and as a base for exploring Mull further afield. Well equipped with brilliant showers, piping hot water and fast internet. We were sad to leave!

Great property, brilliant owners (thanks Brian for suggesting the escape route via the Tobermory ferry!). So much to do on and around the island, great places for eating out (just make sure you book in advance). Thoroughly recommend and would love to return.

Lovely cottage.lovely owners.very friendly everything we needed.and lovely weather cracking trip.

Excellent cottage. Stayed here twice before and still just as good.

Lovely to have the personal touch from Brian on our arrival who explained the workings of the property and also having a roaring wood fire greeting us!

Superb house! Lovely welcome with the wood burner on when we arrived. Brian was very friendly and helpful. Great location near to the Main Street in Tobermory. We’ll certain use this again when back on Mull.

Cruachan was a lovely home for us for a short stay in November. Brian was really welcoming and showed us round when we arrived, including how to light the lovely log burner. The house was spacious, spotlessly clean and was a lovely base to explore Tobermory or play board games on the rainy days. Wifi was also very good for rainy days, reliable and fast. Easy to find from the directions given and a helpful sign post to navigate the last section! Thank you for a lovely stay.

Once again a fantastic stay at Cruachan the cottage is always spotless and very well equipped and the owners Brian and Lynne are nearby and very approachable for any advice on the area or for any problems you may encounter, this was our 3rd or 4th stay at one of their cottages and certainly won't be our last, thank you once again Brian and Lynne fantastic hosts 10 out of 10.

Cruachan is a lovely cottage - well equipped and spotlessly clean. Brian and Lynne are nearby for any help / advice. We would happily book one of their cottages again. Tobermory is a great location - especially if you are visiting the island for the first time - picturesque and unforgettable.
Many thanks. Ali, Dave, Mark & Wendy

Enjoyable stay with party of six, plenty of space to move around. Perfect location for Tobermory and restaurants.

Cruachan was a very well situated cottage with a far reaching view
and was equipt with everything that you would need to ensure a good holiday. We would recommend . Brian &Catherine.

Booked with friends just after new year, with every weather thrown in at 5 minute intervals. Cruachan was a warm, clean, comfortable and spacious base for 6. Well equipped kitchen made catering easy. Showers etc were very good. We all fitted in the living area without feeling squashed.
The location is perfect for Tobermory itself, and NW and central Mull is handy too. However, the Ross of Mull west of say Penyghael is quite a trek - the island is bigger than we'd appreciated.

This was our 2nd stay at one of Brian and Lynne's properties and once again we weren't disappointed, a very spacious cottage well equipped very clean inside and out, ideal location with just a short walk to Tobermory front street, the owners Brian and lynne are very very approachable so friendly and helpful and will go out of their way to make sure you have a pleasant and relaxing stay, thank you Brian and lynne for another fantastic stay, Peter and Linda.

Nice spacious cottage, well located and equipped with everything you're likely to need. Property was very clean and is located just a short walk down to the harbour (remember it's uphill on the way back)

A very nice, spacious, well located property. Everything most people need on holiday is provided. The owners are super helpful too. Love Mull.

We’r returning guest to this property & will book again, Lynn & Brian are very friendly & helpful. The cottage location is excellent, the property is very clean with lovely furniture & well maintained inside & out, its the perfect home away from home.

We had a lovely holiday in Cruachan. The cottage is excellent and so well equipped. it is lovely to come back and relax after being out and about during the day. Being able to walk to the shops in Tobermory is great. The owners Brian and Lynne are so helpful and their local knowledge is excellent, we did a couple of the walks that Brian told us about. The oatcakes and chutney on the table on arrival were a lovely touch. We would highly recommend this cottage.

Excellent cottage very clean and the owners were very helpful. We will be back.

A lovely cottage, very well appointed and with plenty of space inside and out. Tobermory's beautiful harbour is just a short walk away and there are plenty of country and coastal walks nearby. Brian and Lynne are excellent, friendly hosts. Highly recommended.

Lovely cosy house with everything we needed, very clean and kitchen was very well equipted..Great views from the house when the rain stopped and Tobermory a very pretty place with all the coloured painted houses.Would definitely come back perhaps earlier in the season when the weather may be better.

Cruachan is an excellent cottage and exceeded our expectations. Very well appointed and some nice touches such as a small table for children. A pleasant short walk to the harbour and plenty of garden to appreciate. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent cottage in a great location in Tobermory. Very well appointed, spotlessly clean and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Would definitely stay here again.

We have just spent a relaxing week on Mull and stayed at this great cottage. We arrived and the house was lovely and warm with log burner burning. Cottage was very clean with well equipped kitchen. Owners Brian and Lynne were very friendly and helpful. What a great choice this cottage was and we would not hesitate to recommend. Hopefully we will return sometime.

An excellent cottage in an excellent position above Tobermory Harbour, just a few minutes walk from the main street and all amenities. Wood burning stove is a lovely bonus in this spotless cottage. Comfortably sleeps 6 people, fully equipped kitchen and ample parking. Book it if you can!

We’r returning customers to the property & will continue to do so, Brian & Lynn are lovely & very welcoming, they have a vast knowledge of Tobermory & surrounding areas. The property is always clean, decorated & finished to a high standard with everything you could possibly need for the perfect home away from home. See you next year guys.

This was our second visit to Mull and this time 3 generations of the family came to spend a week on the island. The cottage was perfect for our needs and our 3 year old loved having the garden at the front to run around in the evenings. The owners were right there if we had any questions. My parents did find the walk back up from the village a bit of a struggle but this would not stop us from coming back again as the views from the kitchen window were brilliant. Would absolutely recommend.

A great place to stay! Ideal location for Tobermory, just a 5 minute walk (the hill is very steep on the way back up!). We had 2 small children with us and the house worked perfectly. It was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Our hosts were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. We would definitely recommend Cruachan.

Lovely cottage, clean, very well equipped and comfortable. It was in a great location with shops and cafes close by but also very good for exploring the northern end of Mull.

Great cottage with all we needed for our stay. Kitchen is fully equipped and there is a washing machine and tumble dryer. The cottage is spacious and garden area was perfect for the lovely weather we had.
Location is a perfect base for exploring the island but has all the local amenities five minutes away.

The cottage was perfect for our week on Mull. Very clean, and everything we needed as we ate in every night. Brian was very welcoming - showed us places to visit but left us alone to enjoy our time. The amount of parking space was excellent compared to other accommodation I have stayed at.
Tobermory is an excellent place to base your holiday as the harbour is lovely and the tourist information is great for organising trips. Also the supermarket is very useful.
If I return to Mull, which I hope I will do, I would have no hesitation staying again. Lovely accommodation in a perfect location.

The cottage is in a great location overlooking the harbour area. It's only a 5 minute walk to the restaurant's and pubs. The house is modern, warm and very welcoming. Ideal for families as it's 3 bedrooms. Brian is great for recommending places to visit and local knowledge hidden gems.

Wow, what a holiday house, so welcoming and cosy and very warm, beautiful inside, well maintained, everything you need, just a home from home, loved Tobermory, we will be back, and stay here again, scenery is outstanding, just perfect !!

Ecellent accommodation, well appointed, very clean, spacious and comfortable. The owners live nearby and are very friendly and helpful. This is the 2nd time we have used this cottage and we will certainly use it again.

The proximity to Tobermory was perfect. The accommodation was really well presented with nothing overlooked and the wood burner made the February evenings so comfortable. The hosts were very welcoming and on hand if needed. We look forward very much to our return.

We have stayed in this cottages 9 years in a row.
The hosts are extremely friendly and do all the can to make you feel welcome.
The accomodation is very well kept, it's a comfortable livings space for our family of 5 with a great little garden for the kids to set up paddling pools, play games and of course for BBQ dinners. The cottage is walking distance from the main street in Tobermory, also has great parking facilities for unloading and unloading cars. 5 stars all round.

Very comfortable chalets furnished nicely, lovely outdoor space for those rare periods on Mull when the weathers nice. Great hosts, even came in and set the log burner going while we were out so the place was toasty when we got back! Short walk from the bay, but be warned it's a steep hill if you've enjoyed some hospitality in the pubs along the front!

We are now annual visitors to Mull and look forward to staying in the Cruachan Cottage, The Hosts make us extremely welcome. The cottage is set a perfect distance from the town's pubs and shops.

Perfect accommodation for my annual stay on mull during rally week, I have been back over 9 times and each was as good as the last. Warm, cosy and plenty of parking space with only a short walk into town. Brian and Lynn are excellent hosts and always happy to help. Can't wait to come back!

Excellent location and excellent hosts!
We have stayed here for a number of years and keep coming back. Close to Tobermory with its shops and pubs and close to the stunning views and countryside that Mull is famous for! All you could need in the house, washing machine, kitchen if you need to eat in and super warm!
