Eala Bhan Reviews

A well equipped comfortable clean cottage in a good location with views to The Sound of Mull. Lucky enough to see Golden and White tailed eagles, otters and deer. I have been to Mull numerous times and stayed in various cottages, but, this was the best so much so we have booked again for 2025

Well appointed, comfortable property in good location. Very well equipped and clean. We loved staying there.

A lovely and well appointed house with everything you need. It was consistently just warm enough and lovely to come back to each day during a very wet week. Convenient for the odd meal or drink out at the Glenforsa hotel and the very occasional plane landing or taking off on the airstrip spiced up the week. Convenient too for a stroll along the shore beachcombing or for heading either north or south on the island. We'd be happy to go there again.

A super comfy and well appointed house with fabulous views over the Sound. A great base to explore the Island from. The owner was very helpful also.

An exceptional property with amazing views.A great location for exploring or just relaxing and enjoying the tranquillity of nature.

"Simply the best" holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. We loved staying at Eala Bahn, it was wonderful with the best views ever. Many thanks Elizabeth, we hope to see you again next year.

Fabulous house ideal situation and spotless thank u xx

Superb.must be the best property on the. East side of the island.

Just returned from a brilliant week at Eala Bhan. Elizabeth has thought of everything you could possibly need and was a great host. We were lucky with the weather and managed to get out around the island seeing deer, hen harriers and lots of buzzards and Golden Eagles but not the WTE this time. We returned each day to a warm cosy cottage with windows set to get the best views of the sound of Mull watching Otters play in the bay from the balcony has to be the best. We hope to be back next year if Elizabeth will have us.

Fantastic property in an amazing location - this was our third stay and we have already booked again for next year. We were especia lucky this time with great sightings of otter, white-tailed and golden eagles, along with hen harrier, red deer and the usual buzzards and ravens on our trips around the island, along with a faint but observable aurora on a couple of nights from the balcony which made for a great week. Dolphns following the ferry back to Oban topped off a fantastic time. Thanks again to Elizabeth for providing a lovely base on Mull to enable us to have these wonderful experiences.

Had a very relaxing stay at Eala Bhan in the most perfect location with views you can never tire of even in winter! The property itself is outstanding, spacious, light and fully equipped. Elizabeth has thought of absolutely everything and was the most wonderful and caring host. Loved watching out over the sound of Mull and watching the wildlife and ever changing weather. The house was so warm and cosy too. I would would definitely book this again such was my wonderful experience.

An absolutely fantastic house. Very spacious, fully equipped, comfortable, warm and contemporary. The house is full of light and is open and airy. It’s very private without being isolated. The panoramic views are out of this world; personally I could just sit all day and enjoy the view. Our whole experience on the Isle of Mull is one we won’t forget - we plan to visit again soon.

Fantastic place to stay on Mull. Spacious, comfortable and very well equipped - you can cook your own big family meals, wash and dry clothes if needed. Amazing views down the sound of Mull and the added fun of watching the odd light aircraft come into land past your window!

We loved every minute of our stay. The cottage is spacious and well-equipped and perfectly located to explore the whole island and beyond. We enjoyed two weeks of glorious sunshine, saw so much wildlife (including otters in the bay on many evenings) and really didn’t want to leave.

Superb house, so warm and very well equipped. We immediately turned the armchairs to the views from the front windows to admire the beautiful ever changing scenes, lots of ships passing and planes coming into Glenforsa International. We did not have the tv on at all during our stay. We were very lucky to see the otters in the bay and eagles on our trips around the isle. A visit to Iona is a must. We have stayed in many holiday cottages and Eala Bhan is one of the very best, we hope to visit again soon. Thank you Elizabeth and Hugh for such a fantastic holiday

A fantastic house with amazing views - a simply breathtaking place to spend a week and the best house we have stayed in on the island. The house is very spacious, has everything you could possibly need for a self-catering stay and is well located for trips around the island. Elizabeth and Hugh are charming and welcoming hosts who attended to a couple of queries we had promptly. We will look forward to returning!

A beautiful house in a great location with a fabulous view over the Sound of Mull. Very well positioned on the island making exploration easy. Close to the ferry terminal, near to a food shop and petrol in Salen. The house is spacious, well laid out and well equipped.

Wonderful fully equipped house. The best we've stayed in on many trips to Mull. Perfect weather but no sign of the elusive otters again. Thank you Elizabeth and nice to meet you and Hugh

Absolutely perfect accommodation. The house is cosy, well laid out, and has simply stunning views that change every minute of the day. I agree with others on this review that I can't imagine there is a better place to stay on Mull. The kids have already ask if we can come back again at some point so I think we will be getting the diary out again soon!

Such a beautiful house! Everything was perfect. So warm and cosy. We were so comfortable in the house it was hard to go out! We were lucky with the weather and we were able to do some exploring in the car. Would love to stay here in the sunnier months. The Spar at Salen has most of what you will need and the Co op was open on new years day.as well. We bought fresh mussels from the mussel farm! Thank you to Elizabeth for all the supplies etc!

This is a lovely, spacious, well equipped and thoughtfully laid out house in a beautiful location. During quite a stormy week of weather the house was warm and cosy. The view from the windows across the Sound were fabulous, and plenty of great walks nearby too. We would definitely love to go back, can imagine it would be great in the summer too.

This is a stunning house in a stunning location. It was spotlessly clean and extremely well equipped. Elizabeth is an excellent host, she called round to see if we had settled in ok and was very quick to respond when I texted her for advice on where to see otters. Unfortunately we failed to see any but we did see white tailed eagles over the house. We have been renting holiday homes in the UK and Europe for over 30 years and this is definitely the best we have had. I can’t believe that there is a better house on Mull than this one so if it is available for your dates, book it now!

Would a gorgeous property in a fabulous location. We have stayed many times on Mull, but this property has topped the lot. The owners are very attentive and give the impression that nothing is too much trouble. Elizabeth kept in touch through texts and was lovely and accommodating at all times. You will want for nothing in the cottage as it is extremely well supplied. The underfloor heating kept us so cosy that we didn’t even bother with the log fire. The location is perfect with panoramic views across the sound of mull from every room. We loved every moment of our stay.

Our 2nd stay in this house and just as wonderful as before. Such a beautiful place and have never stayed in a house with so much equipment in a kitchen! 3 separate otter sightings this year along with white tailed and golden eagles. Managed to find The Henhouse tea room open in Fanmore. The cakes are superb!

One of the best places we have stayed in within the UK. The house itself is incredibly well equipped with everything you would ever need on your stay. Even waking guides and maps etc. Such an incredible location. Elizabeth was so helpful and we would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for an incredible stay with memories we will hold dearly forever.

It's a real gem !
Very well equipped and furnished. It has all you could possibly need for a very comfortable stay. Superb location looking over the airstrip to the Sound of Mull. Highly recommended.

Eala Bhan is a fabulous house in a perfect location with incredible views across the Sound of Mull. We enjoyed a couple of meals at the Glenforsa hotel next door and the light aircraft using the airfield were great fun to watch. The house offered everything we wanted, was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The rooms are beautifully light and airy to spend time in and the beach walk along the shoreline to the River Forsa offers plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife on the doorstep. Highly recommended!

Wonderful house in a superb location. The views are truly magical. The house is very warm, comfortable and very well equipped. Hotel next door served excellent food, be sure to book as it can be very busy. Great fun watching the planes land and take off from the airstrip directly in front of the house. Our favourite island as there is so much to do and see. Saw lots of White Tailed Eagles and Golden Eagles but the otters were very elusive again.

This house is wonderful, far exceeding our expectations. Much larger than expected, spotlessly clean, and with amazing views from the deck down the Sound of Mull. Saw plenty of wildlife from the house, and lovely walks down the beach in both directions. Great hotel 2 minutes walk away for drinks and great food! Only 1 mile to Salen, where there is more choice of places to eat, and a well stocked Spar with a cashpoint. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

We arrived in a storm and found the house warm and welcoming despite a power cut. Elizabeth, the owner very quickly arrived to furnish us with candles and torches. power restored quickly.
The house is magnificent and exceeded our expectations. the views are fabulous and the we watched a large array of wildlife from the windows including an otter running in front of the house. The house is in a perfect location for the main town of Tobermory.

We were fortunate enough to manage a last minute booking of Eala Bhan and couldn’t have asked for anywhere better. The views from the house were breathtaking, the house itself beautiful and spotlessly clean with everything you could ask for to make for a comfortable stay. Underfloor heating was a luxury and the house was very well equipped and tastefully furnished. The hosts too were extremely helpful and quick to answer any questions. Would highly recommend Eala Bhan and do hope to be able to visit again.

superb holiday accommodation in the very best location possible! beautiful views out to sea, a shingle/pebble beach just the other side of the small grass airstrip (we saw 3 aeroplanes and the emergency helicopter land/take off) just outside Eala Bhan we saw otters in bay, curlew, grey lag geese, oystercatchers, buzzard, goosander, flock of goldfinch, fantastic evening sunsets, 5 mins away Salen Bay is great for watching seals. House is very well designed and laid out, it's very high quality inside and it's also the cleanest holiday home we've ever stayed in that's why every review is 5 stars

This is our second visit to Eala Bhan and as last time we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A very well equipped and spacious cottage, especially in the kitchen, with all utensils and pans very clean. Even in the depths of January, the house was extremely warm and cosy and was great to come back to after days out in the elements! Super views out to sea and enjoyed watching Calmac ferries sailing in and out to the distant isles. Highly recommended.

Gorgeous house - spacious, light and wonderfully comfortable. Everything was scrupulously clean and the kitchen very well-equipped. One of the very best properties we've stayed in.

Perfection in every way. We have stayed in at least twelve properties on the island and so far none can compare to Eala Bhan

Wow!! Fantastic house with a stunning view. we loved everything about it. We were also lucky enough to see planes and helicopters land and take off. The house is in a great location to see the lovely island. Definitely house and island to come back to.

We stayed end April into early May 2019 - house was recommended by Isle of Mull Cottages as an alternative to the previous one we'd used which wasn't available any more. Eala Bhan was spacious, light and warm, spotlessly clean and with lovely views out to sea. Everything you could want was provided. We didn't see otter or eagle from the house but lots of other birds, deer at dusk, and the sunsets are spectacular. Elizabeth was a warm friendly host & checked that all was in order. This is our 6th stay on Mull but our 1st at Eala Bhan. I am sure we will return as we loved the house.

Beautiful house in stunning location.
Immaculately clean and very well equipped.

An absolutely brilliant cottage. Superb layout with plenty of room to spread. Very warm and comfortable and extremely well kitted out, especially in the kitchen (all utensils/pans etc spotlessly clean). A wonderful location with views to die for and so accessible to the shoreline. We have stayed in some super cottages in Scotland over the years, but this is the best so far! Elizabeth, the owner, was delightful. We will definitely return. Fabulous holiday and have fallen in love with Mull.

Fantastic cottage in a stunning location. The cottage had everything you could wish for and immaculately clean. Elizabeth was friendly and really helpful. Central location to see the whole island.

Fantastic house with stunning views. All mod cons in house and nicely decorated with modern outlook. Was sad to leave at the end of the holiday. Our German friends said the house was fantastic; the views were stunning; the location was central for all things on Mull. Would certainly recommend and will be back again. Thank you Elizabeth.

Fabulous house with lovely views across Sound of Mull. Well equipped; & decorated. Peaceful setting. We saw otters & sea eagles from house.

Eala Bhan is a beautiful holiday cottage with amazing sea views. It is the best holiday cottage that we have ever stayed in. It is immaculately clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. We had a fantastic stay. Thank you!

Fabulous house in a wonderful location with stunning views. This was a truly brilliant holiday and the best house rental I have ever made. We will be returning.

An amazing property with the ‘wow’ factor! Like so many other reviews, didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back.
The views, no matter what the weather, are stunning and will be forever etched in our memories. Thank you.

Wonderful location
High standard accommodation
Would definitely re-visit

Just perfect in every way.

This was our second stay at Eala Bhan and we have booked again for 2019. The property is perfect, one of the best we have ever stayed in and the location is stunning.

Just coming to the end of fantastic week at Eala Bhan. This is an absolutely lovely place to stay, you couldn't ask for more.

Amazing place, stunning views, very well equipped. If we come back to Mull we would definitely stay here again.

This property has the WOW factor! The owners have designed this property to meet everyone's needs.
The location is perfectly placed for venturing locally and throughout Mull.
The Sound of Mull views were outstanding. We were mesmerised at times, watching the dramatic changes of the skyline.
Highly recommend the property and looking forward to booking again.

Absolutely amazing bungalow and views. A real joy to come home to after exploring the island. When we are able to return to Mull will definitely be booking this property. Owners can’t do enough for you.

This is an amazing bungalow, it has everything you could ever wish for. Superb views up the sound of Mull, fabulous sightings of Sea Eagles and Otter. Didn't want to leave.

This holiday home is absolutely perfect, we had a great 2 week stay, we would endorse everything everyone else has said about the property. The views are sensational, we did not want to come home. Thanks for sharing this beautiful house in its fantastic location.

A wonderful cottage with superb views. Our only bad point was we had to leave.

I fully endorse previous posters - every aspect and detail of this stunning and exquisite place makes it a joy to experience. We stayed for a week and felt like royalty.

Wow from start to finish! Beautiful house in a wonderful location surrounded by endless wildlife and breathtaking views. House had everything you could need and catered easily for our special 50th birthday dinner. Very high standards throughout. Well worth every penny.
Loads of airstrip activity and a helicopter ride made our stay even more special.

An outstanding property in every way. Eala Bahn is exactly as the photos on the website show it to be. Extremely comfortable, very cosy, spacious, well equipped and a perfect location for visiting Mull. The views from the cottage up the Sound of Mull are breathtaking with views changing with the weather. This was a perfect cottage for us as a family of seven with two small grandchildren - room for everyone and a light, spacious feel to the cottage. Lots of wildlife round about and the added bonus of a small plane landing outside our window. We loved staying here as a family and I can't recommend it highly enough as a base for visiting Mull.

Beautiful cottage, stunning scenery and great wildlife all from the window of the cottage. Saw Otters and Sea Eagles plus many other birds on the sea and the airfield.
The cottage itself is very modern and homely, it has everything you need, plus lovely to settle down for the evening with the log burner on.
Already considering when to come back.

Superb cottage. The views from the property are amazing and loads of wildlife can be seen from the huge windows. We saw Sea Eagles and Otters from the lounge. We will be back.

What a beautiful house. Every need catered for and the views, both morning and evening were superb ! Yearning to come back already.

Fantastic house, great location, wonderful view. Wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Eala Bhan must be one of the finest holiday cottages on Mull - in all respects. We have just spent a wonderful week there. The owners have thought of absolutely everything any visitors could want. Needless to say, the view down the Sound of Mull is yet another attraction. We long to return.

We loved this house your every need catered for and the views were to die for. Going to book again. It is spectacular.

In a spectacular location, Eala Bhan is a spacious and impressive property, ideal for getting to all parts of the island. Despite the weather, from a howling cold gale to a blizzard, to warm sunshine, Eala Bhan ensured we had a great holiday!

We had a wonderful holiday on Mull, and loved staying in this house - it was perfect. It had absolutely everything we could have asked for, and the views were incredible. The owner was very kind to us. Nothing could have been better!
