Oakfield House Reviews

Brilliant house and gardens in a great location for exploring beautiful Mull. Well maintained, comfortable, a special place.

A beautiful location and lovely accommodation that has everything needed. The two lounges were comfortable the upper lounge giving an opportunity to view the bay and surrounding area using the binoculars and scope provided. We loved it.

Very high standard self catering accommodation. Everything was to our satisfaction, we did have some initial difficulties with arga type oven but soon adjusted to it. A fabulous place to stay, we had glorious weather but the house would have been very comfortable if the weather had been foul.

Our family absolutely loved the house.
Everything you need and more. Beautiful location. Everything in the house was top quality. Our first visit to Tobermory, it won't be the last. Thank you so much.

We agree wholeheartedly with all of the previous very positive reviews. The staff at Isle of Mull Cottages made the booking process easy and the owners of this authentic, memorable and beautifully restored Victorian property were very welcoming. The house is in a fantastic location, was spotless, thoughtfully and extremely well equipped, warm, spacious and very comfortable. We had a wonderful holiday, wanted to stay longer and would love to return. Very highly recommended.

This beautiful house just oozes quality. The location is stunning with fantastic views over the Sound of Mull to Ardnamurchan. I loved the stained glass windows on the staircase. The house has everything you need and the kitchen is one of the best equipped I have ever seen. The Everhot oven is a joy to cook on with 3 separate ovens. Only a five minute walk down to Tobermory Harbour with lots of shops, cafes and restaurants to choose from.

Perfect, spacious accommodation for our 3 generation family holiday. Beautiful setting and very well equipped.
All thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

A really fabulous place! Oakfield is a majestic Victorian villa. Maclean tartan carpets and stained glass give the entrance a feeling of welcoming opulence .Reception and bed rooms were wonderfully warm, beautifully furnished, really comfy beds. Two lounges gave us room to ‘spread’ with views over the garden to the sea. Kitchen is equipped with excellent quality crockery, glass and utensils, everything you need to make a worthy meal to eat in the amazing dining room. Mull is a fascinating island but for us Oakfield House was the real gem. A huge thank you to our hosts Iain and Susan Maclean

Brilliant house,well equipped with everything,and more,great to be on the island again,thank you to Colin the gardener,and the shop owners of the island. Our family had a great time, we don't want to leave. Thank you Mac Lean family for our stay at your beautiful house.

Fantastic house in a great location for an extended family holiday. Very well equipped - couldn’t fault it. And we had sunshine all week. We had a lovely time!

A group of 10 friends staying. To a man, loved the House. Lots of space and lots of thought had gone into equipping the property. Location superb and Iain the owner always available to advise. Loved it.

Beautiful location and amazing well equipped house, everything we needed for our weeks stay including cooking meals. The view was lovely as we could watch dolphins in the bay and a tawny owl in the garden. Short walk into Tobermory for pubs and shops. We had a lovely stay.

The most well-equipped property we've stayed in over the past 40 years!

10 of us spent a week in Oakfield House , what a fabulous house for a large group , we enjoyed the spectacular location and the comfortable, spacious accommodation. We were all sad to leave and throughly enjoyed our stay . We hope to return .

A fabulous, spacious, warm, well equipped house in a spectacular location. It met the needs of three generations and we had one of the best holidays ever on this incredible island. Our host and housekeeper could not have been more efficient or responsive. We all left with heavy hearts.

Oakfield house was a fabulous place to stay. There were five of us, each had our own bedroom. The house has such gorgeous views, it was wonderful to get up and sit and look out of the windows. Deer sometimes grazed across the lawn. There is everything you could possibly need in the house, a spacious kitchen, two very comfortable sitting rooms, a huge dining table, constant hot water. The house was lovely and clean as well as cosy and warm. We loved it and would certainly go back.

The house is situated in a large well-kept garden, with a great view. All the rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished. The house has real character from its Victorian origins, but the kitchen and bathrooms are modern and well-equipped. It is located in a quiet neighbourhood, but is within easy walking distance of the main street in Tobermory.

This is our second stay at Oakfield and we have just booked for a third next year. The house is fabulous. It's is warm, extremely well equipped, even with 8 of us it felt roomy. Views are remarkable, we saw dolfins (or porpoises) most days.

Who knew my nephews could play a piano, Oakfield house gave one little boy a new hobby, he even played a small recital after our Murder Mystery night (Death at the Distillery available on Amazon with names to suit our location) what a fabulous week, Views out the window leave you with a dilemma do we stay in or go out, the Lighthouse walk - easy route right out the gates and then left at the war memorial or the MUDDY ROCKY route left out the gate and across the golf course, beds very comfy, spotless on arrival, sofas super comfy, just needed MORE WOOD and Kindling and MONOPOLY

What a fabulous house! We loved it all, from the eagle on the stairs to the stunning views. Spacious, peaceful, definitely special. A fantastic base for our week on Mull. Very highly recommended.

We are a group of eight who were at Oxford together and have had a reunion most years for over 50 years. The house has magnificent views, many elegant rooms and is superbly equipped. The owners added their own nice touches of welcome. We ate well thanks to the fully equipped kitchen but also had an excellent meal at the Galleon Bistro. The house is also very good value.

We booked both house and cottage for a special family gathering. My granddaughter said “It’s not a house, it’s a mansion”. The house is magnificent especially the dining room and the two lounges. The views looking out over the bay are superb. Both house and cottage are very well equipped, especially the kitchen with two large fridge/freezers, and herbs and a range of cooking oils. It has a Victorian elegance with great décor and furnishings, but with all modern facilities such as very good wifi.
We appreciated the beach chairs. We have never had such a well-equipped rental.

Wonderful house with everything one could want provided. So much thought put into making us have the perfect holiday. Every comfort possible and far exceeded our expectations.

As surprise accommodation for a big birthday, Oakfield House would take some beating. If you’re looking for history, tradition, space and incredible views just for starters then this is the place for you. Oakfield House is beautifully cared for and maintained and I take my hat off to those that clean it! Attention to detail is evident everywhere and despite the size of the house, they have somehow successfully achieved an “at home” feel throughout. This was our first visit to Mull and we have returned home refreshed and renewed.Thank you for a wonderful stay and unrivalled birthday celebration

Beautiful house in a stunning location, conveniently close to all that Tobermory has to offer. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped and with beautiful and well maintained gardens, the house offers ample living space. Would recommend with enthusiasm: we will certainly return. ????

This grand Victorian home was perfect for 7 adults: the furnishing were comfortable, and the views were spectacular. We enjoyed reading the history of the house and having gathering rooms where we could read about the area, watch boats in the Sound, and look for wildlife with the binoculars provided. Highly recommended.

Beautiful house in a stunning location. 3 generations sharing the house. Everything has been thought of and it has everything you need. Waking up to that view every day is just awesome and we have had fabulous weather all week. Thank you to the owners for their thoughtfulness with all the extras. It was worth the long journey there. Can highly recommend.

We were a group of 5 mature couples and the property was excellent - everyone was very impressed with it. There was plenty of space, finished to a high standard whilst maintaining character, and the furnishings and contents were well thought out. The views from various windows are stunning, and there is a large patio and grassed lawn with the same views. It has easy walking access to Tobermory Harbour front for those able to climb the short steep return.
Highly recommended!

We stayed here as a group of 11, 4 couples, 2 children and a baby and the house was perfect. So well insulated we couldn't hear any of the early morning wakers. The house is super well equipped, lots of beach gear including thermos, everything you could need in the kitchen and binoculars for wildlife watching. Views were beautiful and everything was as it looked on the pictures. Highly recommended.

We took a holiday with extended family and were a group of 10 - 6 adults, 3 young kids and a new born baby. I couldn’t have dreamed of better accommodation. The house is beautiful, comfortable, quiet, spacious and extremely well organised -full of thoughtful details like a blender in the kitchen, a full spice rack and buckets and spades for the kids to take to the beach. We enjoyed evenings by the fire and having a large dining table to share meals together. So much to do on Mull; we had a new adventure each day.I’d highly recommend a visit here and we plan to return.

Absolutely stunning property that exceeded expectations. Has everything you could hope for and is in a fantastic location to boot. We were a large group and everyone loved it. Highly recommended!

The House was fantastic, although it looked impressive on the website it still blew us away when we entered. It was warm, spacious, original, fully equipped, just a total pleasure to stay in.

Everything wonderful. That's that.

Wow what a place to stay. Absolutely stunning property in a stunning location. Views were breathtaking. Perfect for exploring Tobermory and visiting the local shops, hostelries and restaurants. We all wanted to move in permanently - that says it all! We travelled around Mull and can highly recommend visiting the Island (and staying in Oakfield House) - the beaches (did a bit of swimming), the local food and produce, lots of shopping opportunities, Tobermory Chocolate (yum), Tobermory Distillery, Whitetail Gin Distillery and last but not least....wildlife spotting (otters, eagles and red deer).

This large house is full of character and little touches of convenience which has made our group’s stay both spectacular and easy. So much so that, as regular visitors to Mull for diving, we are unlikely to visit when we can get a booking here again! If you have a large group/family to accommodate I would look no further.

A stunning property in a fabulous location. We all wanted to move in permanently. What more can I say! Our holiday on Mull was wonderful - we 'touched' every corner of the Island but will need to return to explore further. So much to see and do. We did manage to see otters, sea eagles, golden eagles, and red deer so we were all very happy. We were made to feel welcome wherever we went. Would love to return!

Wow wow wow! What a house, absolutely magnificent.The view is breathtaking.So close to the lovely Tobermory and all its eating and drinking places. A 13 mile drive to Calgary beach is a must, what a great time we had there. Laggan Sands are a bit off the beaten track but worth a visit. Iona was a must, since it’s very near Mull but the drive is quite tiring, never the less, do go. Cannot praise Mull and especially Oakfield House enough.We had a murder mystery evening in the large stunning dining room.Honestly, come to this destination, it will take your breath away.

We have had a wonderful family holiday at Oakfield House in Tobermory. The house and garden surpassed all of our expectations - which were already high, having looked at the photographs. Everything that a family would need or want has been thought of and catered for. I cant praise this house highly enough. The reception rooms are big enough for 10 - and yet the sheer scale of the house means everyone can have privacy or peace and quiet if needed, The location is perfect too - high enough over the bay to watch the common dolphins one evening as they played around a boat in the bay.

We have booked this house twice for our family holiday and it never disappoints. Very spacious and interesting house with all amenities. Superb position with big garden, lovely views and enough space for the young grandchildren to enjoy themselves. It has the wow factor and would definitely recommend for a large group.

What a wonderful property! The house is really spacious, well laid out and very comfortable. The two lounges are fabulous, marvellous views over the sound. The kitchen is incredible, well fitted out and easy to use. Bedrooms lovely and comfortable, good furnishings and fittings.
The picnic kits and other equipment were really useful. Garden space great.
Just wow! It was the best holiday let I have ever had. It’s great!

Magnificent Victorian house, beautifully restored and very well equipped. Comfortable and spacious, with fantastic views. Great location, just a short walk from the centre of Tobermory. Mull is an amazing place for a holiday: we had some lovely walks, visited Iona, Fingal's Cave and Lunga island (with its puffins) and even swam in the sea. We didn't need a car. The best holiday home I have ever stayed in.

Oakfield House is stunning. Oozing history and beautifully renovated, it is a fantastic place for a group holiday. Plenty of space, with the two living rooms plus formal dining room. Great location with lovely views and only a short walk to the centre of Tobermory. Loved Mull and we didn't need a car.

A fantastically restored grand Victorian house, in a really beautiful location overlooking the Sound of Mull and Calf Island. The rooms are sumptuous, grand and beautiful. The ensuite bathrooms are modern, warm and splendid. This house has everything a large family or couple of families would need for a comfortable stay on Mull.The house is close enough to the town centre for convenient shopping, yet high enough to give you privacy from the town and surrounding houses.

Oakfield House was perfect for our family holiday on Mull. This was our first time on the island and we wanted a place to relax and enjoy the island away from the chaos that is 2020. OH was perfect - every room was amazing and just perfect for what we needed. The kitchen is definitely the best self catering kitchen we have ever used in the UK or abroad. The house has such a welcoming feel from the moment you go up the drive. The dining room and sitting rooms have amazing views and the bedrooms are luxuriously comfortable but with modern bathrooms. We all want to stay there again.

A very attractive property with beautiful views over to the Sound of Mull. A very well equipped and well appointed holiday home. It is certainly the best self catering property I have ever stayed in on the Isle of Mull, in over 30 years of visiting. We were a three-generation let and there was plenty of room for us all and the grandchildren loved the space. In truth it is an ideal place for all ages. The kitchen facilities were excellent and it was a pleasure to sit in the dining room at mealtimes and enjoy the view. We all want to come back again as soon as we can.

Oakfield House is a fabulous place to stay, with character and amazing views over the Sound of Mull. On arrival, driving up the long driveway as the house came in to full view, my children could not believe their eyes and were not to be disappointed when exploring the many large and well furnished rooms. Our visit to Mull was really exceptional, helped by favourable weather, amazing scenery and a great house.

Having read all of the previous comments I cannot think of anything more to add! In my 45 years of renting self catering accommodation in Scotland Oakfield House definitely comes out top. It has the wow factor as soon as you arrive at the house and when entering you cannot wait to explore the whole house. The three grandchildren aged 6-8 were so excited running from room to room looking at everything, closely followed by the adults!! A truly amazing house to celebrate my 70th birthday with all the family and friends and one that I will never forget. Thanks go to the owner!

Our group stayed here for a wildlife package expedition and had a perfect stay at OH. A beautiful historical building with a wonderful mix of modern and tradition. The house was spotless and all the rooms have amazing modern bathrooms. We look forward to returning very soon.

A magnificent house, lavishly equipped and furnished and exceptionally well-prepared.It was a privilege to stay at Oakfield House, where everything was exactly as you would wish it to be. The view from the front patio alone is worth a week just sitting and drinking it in.The location is perfect, away from the busy, touristy harbour front, but only a short walk away, and with easy access to shops / restaurants and bars.You MUST visit the sea-front fish van - it's in the top two or three fish and chip experiences in the UK. In summary a truly exceptional week,worthy of the highest recommendation

We can only reiterate what other reviewers have said; lovely well equipped house, stunning views and lots to do. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great but the house was a good place for a party of seven to stay indoors without getting in each others way. Hope to visit again!

What a house.The squeals of delight when the grandchildren arrived
One practically tripping over his jaw at the sight of ‘That staircase! ’‘Two fridges’. ‘Look at the size of the dining room table!’ Happy to host a dozen for dinner, the music of three generations.The fun of Tobermory a short wander down the lane and countless wonderful restaurants and the steady stream of boats past the window by day.The Highland games a short walk from the house. What a treat for the eyes and and the ears. The view down the sea, never the same one glance to the next.
And cubic yards of peace.

This house is in a stunning position with views down the Sound of Mull. It is spacious and is super-well equipped. It was difficult to tear ourselves away, Without some stern encouragement I could have easily passed a day watching the boats cross the Sound of Mull. Oakfield has a special feel about it and we all felt instantly at home there. The town of Tobermory with its colourful front is a delight. One evening we joined an authentic ceilidh involving multi generations, singing, dancing and instrumental playing. Our three generations loved it. We want to return.

Five friends and I stayed at Oakfield House for a week of bird-watching and touring in early June and within minutes of arrival it was clear we had made a very good choice. The accommodation fully lived-up to our expectations with well-furnished and good-sized rooms, a very well equipped kitchen and a marvellous view over Tobermory Bay and along the Sound of Mull towards Craignure. And all within a short walk from the shops and restaurants on Tobermory's sea-front. The heating worked very well in the variable weather, providing limitless hot water and keeping the rooms comfortably warm.

We had a marvellous week with a group of old friends in this amazing house. It had lovely views, was so convenient for the town, and lots of super places to visit nearby. The highlight was the trip to Staffa and the Treshnish Islands. Would highly recommend Oakfield House for a holiday.

Oakfield House was an amazingly well-equipped house within a very short walk to the harbour of Tobermory. The view from the windows was beautiful and ever-changing during the day. The huge kitchen had a remarkable selection of equipment, dishes, glasses, and cutlery, etc. (Two fridges and two microwaves!) The owners left us a book containing the operating instructions for every appliance in the house – wow, we have never seen that before. Our bed was very comfortable and the plumbing up-to-date. It worked perfectly for our group of nine but we only wish the house came with the staff it used to

We had a wonderful week in May 2019, staying with a group of friends. The house is many spacious rooms. Two large sitting rooms - on the ground and first floor - have fantastic views over the bay. The large kitchen is well equipped. Five minutes walk to the high street, with good variety of eating places. A well-stocked co-op, with surprisingly moderate prices. Lots to do - Sea eagles, Boat trips - Ioan, Staffa and Treshnish islands. Walks to suit all, including climbing a Munroe for the adventurous. This has everything. Wonderful location, spacious well-equipped accommodation.

We stayed af Oakfield House at the beginning of May 2019. It was a fabulous return to the island for a family celebration (our Dad's 80th), revisiting the haunts of all our childhood holidays and a place full of precious memories of our grandma and her sisters who were born and raised in Dervaig. We needed a special and commodious place to celebrate and the delightful MacLeans supplied that big style. Oakfield is breathtaking, we felt privileged to be allowed to relax in such sumptuous surroundings.

We wanted a family holiday on Mull to introduce them to what we know know to be a very special place and chose Oakfield House for our stay. To say that this is the ideal place for a group holiday is an understatement. The house, its location, its layout and furnishings and top-end facilities are absolutely fantastic - we could not have asked for more, and with such character and history, and this helped to make it a special holiday for us all. The children thought it was a palace and the spacious layout meant that everyone could do their own thing without getting under anyone's feet.

The house is spacious and full of character. All the facilities have been modernised without spoiling the character of the house. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are comfortable. There is a large garden, and a comfortable area for sitting/eating outside. The view over Tobermory Bay is magnificent. The owner was very helpful, and my email queries before the holiday were quickly answered.

We were a large party staying over the Hogmanay week and we all agreed it was one of the best holiday stays ever. The house is stunning, the carpets are lush, nobody had a 'bad' bedroom, the location is amazing for views, walks and facilities including restaurants and pubs. The owners had thought of everything from complimentary wine to salt, cooking oil, a full spice rack, washing up liquid, logs for the fire, toys and games for the kids - basically all the things you usually find missing when you stay away! But for us, the icing on the cake was the stunning Christmas tree and decorations!

We booked this beautiful Scottish Island home along with the adjoining property (Oakfield Cottage) for a family Christmas getaway. Set in its own gardens, with wonderful views across the sea to the mainland. Making Christmas Dinner can be fractious at the best of times but when you have a great, fully equipped kitchen to do it, its so much easier. From the generous essential supplies to welcome us, to the special treat of the most beautifully decorated 7 foot Christmas Tree it was just perfect.

We had a great family get together staying in the beautiful Oakfield House. The house is immaculate with everything you could need & ideally located with a short walk down to Main Street. Great place to stay.

A stunning house in an excellent location in upper Tobermory overlooking the harbour. Unbelievable views down the Sound of Mull. The house has all mod cons and the quality of finish is First Class. Will definitely be visiting again.

We had a wonderful weekend exploring the island of Mull, and Oakfield House was the perfect spot for some rest and relaxation at the end of each day. The view is outstanding- looking out across the bay, and we were very lucky to have clear skies and sunshine for the whole of our trip. A real gem with a lovely homey feel, and very well equipped for all of our needs - all the added touches such as windbreakers for the beach and buckets for the kids to play made the whole trip very effortless. A great getaway and we will definitely be back!

Went to Mull in April for a family reunion. Oakfield House was the perfect venue and Oakfield cottage next door has a further two bedrooms if needed so hopefully next time we'll be able to rent that too.The bedrooms were lovely - the main bedroom / suite, is stunning. There's a large kitchen, butlers pantry and three large reception rooms so if any of us wanted time out it was ideal. We really enjoyed the long family meals round the dining room table. It was a perfect place for a get together and base for revisiting Mull.
