Tigh na Caora Reviews

A wonderful place for family holiday with space to 'hide' if necessary !
The views from the house are very special - we loved it so much we have booked again for next year !

Gorgeous place with incredible views. Real family atmosphere and loved the sunroom to chill and read. Felt like a reality escape with fire and games in the evening. Perfectly located off the beaten track but near it. Track in is bumpy and steep so maybe don’t go in a low car! Garden isn’t dog secure either, not a massive issue for us but sheep and deer around if dog not familiar. Would definitely return :)

A lovely house in a fantastic location. We loved the ease of cooking and spending time together on rainy days in the kitchen and sunroom, which is a great space for adults and children to share after chilly time on beaches. And we hugely appreciated the cottage's proximity to the water and all the opportunities to spend time exploring without dedicating hours to (more) car travel. We know Mull well and this is a special place with a gentle atmosphere having been a holiday cottage for almost 70 years.

A really lovely, cosy cottage with excellent views. Everything is well equipped and comfortable, and it's in an excellent location on the island. There's a lovely large garden which the kids love playing in and a the sunroom is a wonderful place to relax. This is our third time and we'll be coming back next year, we love it there so much!

Wonderful house with gorgeous views, walks from the doorstep and very comfortable beds. We especially love the cosy and well equipped kitchen and the bright sunroom from where to spot so much wildlife. Deer with young, sea eagle, raven and many other birds. Always something happening. Our second visit and we hope to return!

A really lovely spacious cottage with plenty of room, yet on a dark evening the stove in the living room makes it a cosy place to sit and read. The porch on the front provides a vantage point to watch the prolific wildlife at relatively close quarters without disturbing it.
Kitchen was well equipped and easy to use.
Enjoyed the blackboard with 'things to do' listed on it.
Lots of walks from the cottage, out onto the hill, or through woodland to the shore.
Incredibly relaxing, peaceful place to be.

Almost perfect in every way - comfortable, homely, lovely situation, wonderful views, excellent and varied walks, abundant wildlife. This was our third visit. We'll be returning.

Tigh na Caora is the most wonderful cottage. We had the pleasure of spending an enchanted week here in May with 4 teenagers. The cottage is perfectly equipped for people of all ages. We loved spending time together after adventures across the island. The kitchen makes cooking a joy and we loved the evenings spent playing games round the huge dining table. A firm favourite for us was watching the ever changing views from the sun room. This is the perfect place to switch off, unwind, restore, nurture and indulge. Memories made to last a lifetime. We can't wait to go back!! It's so peaceful!

Wonderful location and really cosy cottage. Amazing to hear the deer every night, and several crossed our path on the lane to the cottage. The views were stunning and we spent all the rainy days (we had a few!) in the sunroom.

Lovely equipped cottage. Amazing views. The kitchen had absolutely everything you needed.
Saw deers and eagles every day from the sun room.
We never bored of the view, even in bad weather the loch and mountains were atmospheric.
Great storage in the utility area and hall.

Lovely comfortable cottage in a fabulous location with everything needed for a relaxing holiday. The views from the sunroom off the kitchen were beautiful even in the rain! Unfortunately we weren’t lucky enough to see any eagles, sea or otherwise and as we only had a week, we didn’t get to visit Iona which was also on our wish list so it seems we shall have to visit again!! Ulva is definitely worth a visit with some relatively easy walking trails. A very relaxing holiday enjoyed by all our party.

This was our third visit to this wonderful, characterful, comfortable farmhouse in idyllic surroundings with uninterrupted breathtaking views down to the sea at Ulva Ferry and across Ulva itself. We love walking this area including nearby Loch Na Keal and north beyond Dervaig with plentiful wildlife encounters.Tigh Na Caora is very comfortable and spacious (great sunroom) with a well-equipped kitchen, powerful showers with plentiful hot water and comfortable beds. Ideal for 2 couples as for families. We can highly recommend nearby Croft 3 and Am Birlinn for eating out…and Turus Mara boat trips

What a wonderful week we had at Tigh na Caora! Beautiful & peaceful setting, incredible 180 degree views & sunsets, plus wildlife all around. The house is warm, cosy and homely, with a really well-equipped kitchen. The sunroom/"blister" takes the biscuit though, and we were lucky with the weather so the garden came into its own too. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic holiday here! The cottage is full of character and very cosy; comfy beds, good showers and an excellent kitchen. The garden was great for the kids and while not secure for dogs, excellent for the children. It's in an excellent location so it's very easy to explore the north and central parts of mull, as well as being in fairly easy reach of shops. Beautiful views from the cottage with plenty of wildlife on the doorstep. Would highly recommend!

What a place this is! If you are looking for a base to explore the island with stunning outlooks and peaceful surrounds, then Tigh na Caora is the perfect choice. The cottage has a great homely feel to it, with an exceptional kitchen and a light filled sunroom. Thoroughly recommend.

We had a great week. No problems with the drive, steps or fences! This is in the country after all.. Lovely views over to Ulva where there's a lot of choice of walks and good cafe. Wildlife trip and boat trip both from Ulva Ferry and when it rained it was a chance to take advantage of a really fabulous cosy house. Shame it wasn't a fortnight. So many local walks you don't want to use your car much, but it's a long way to the shop.

The cottage is in a breath-taking location. It is an interesting building, warm and welcoming, and totally peaceful. Furniture and beds are comfortable; showers are good and hot! The kitchen is very well-equipped, with a very capable range-style cooker. We loved our stay and would highly recommend Tigh na Caora.

Stunning setting for peace and quiet and watching wildlife.
House could do with some refurbishment and the hard tiled floors and steps inside and out would be unsuitable for elderly and anyone with a disability. Not really dog friendly as garden is not fenced off and sheep in the fields. Road leading up to cottage is very rough causing our car to ground several times. More suitable for 4x4 cars

A magical home for the week! We made forever memories! Loads of space, warm and homely. Very comfy beds and lovely linen. We spent time inside and out and both were heaven. Incredible views a s the conservatory the most wonderful “television.” We saw deer, golden eagles, and so much more. A peaceful haven. Thank you for letting us share your wonderful property! We will be back.

A great house full of love, character and history. amazing sunsets and night by the fire playing cards. its an amazing house in a great location with access to Ulva and Salen but far enough off the beaten track to be quiet and restful.

Magnificent views from cottage-simply Eagle Central-numerous sightings daily.Views over to Ulva and beautiful sunsets.Perfect site for the cottage-being on a hillside meant we got a breeze during the recent hot weather!Cottage is large and very comfortable ,only drawback this holiday was having to drink bottled water as stream water treated by Uv light had failed quality tests.We were contacted immediately by the owners who arranged for 20litres of bottled water to be awaiting us on arrival.Obviously beyond Owners control.Tigh na Caora is definitely our future go to holiday cottage on Mull .

Full of character and history, Tigh na Caora has wonderful views and a great location for diverse walks. The kitchen is very well equipped. This was a return visit because we know it would suit us well with dogs and a baby!

Had a fantastic week at this cottage and would stay again. The location, setting, views etc are amazing. We’d consider it to be child friendly for our 2 year old and would recommend for families. Plenty to do within walking distance and/or a short drive. Although parts are a tad rough around the edges, it is as described and this adds to the feel it is a family home that has been maintained over time rather than a self catering business. Main point is that it was perfectly clean, tidy etc. Will try to avoid accommodation with TV in the future, really enjoyed the break from any screens.

Beautiful comfortable cottage in a fantastic location. We loved the sun room overlooking the fields, watching the lambs playing. Enjoyed seeing the wildlife around the cottage, lots of birdlife and deer and Golden Eagle. Good base to enjoy Mull which is a truly spectacular island. Enjoyed a couple of trips over to Ulva and lunch at the Boathouse. Very well equipped kitchen, but would suggest bringing food supplies with you. Very clean cottage- excellent contact and COVID updates from the agency and helpful owner. We loved Mull and hope to return soon! Thanks for a brilliant holiday!

This was my second stay in this beautiful cottage. We loved it so much the first time that we had to come back! As an early riser, I loved sitting in the "blister" room looking out over the fields, watching the isle of Ulva appear out of the mist as it rolled off the loch opposite. Stunning. We got just what we needed from here: isolation, the beauty of nature, everything that we needed in the cottage, and some stunning places to explore on the island around us. We'll be back!

Sublime and superb come close to describing the glory of Tigh na Caora: breathtaking sunsets; the regal soaring of the buzzards nesting on the ridge behind the house; herds of deer grazing at sunrise; a majestical golden eagle which rose dragon-like over the rocky outcrop in front of the house; the delight of galloping lambs in the fields below; the unsurpassable view across the loch to Ulva. We recommend catching the ferry to Ulva to enjoy the scrumptious food at the Ferryboat after hiking around the island. Plus don’t miss Calgary beach and a trip to Tobermory. We will be back.

A delightful cottage, in the most stunning location. We saw all the wildlife and most from the local beach. Tip: bring all your food with you, we did and we’re glad we did so. Mull is bigger than you think and the local small Spar is a good drive away. Certainly a long way for a pint of milk by that is part of the charm of the island.

Stayed here with some friends. Had a wonderful time with glorious walks and cosy nights in by the fire. The kitchen is a delight to cook and host with an original aga. The showers I was most impressed with as they had very good pressure and always hot. Overall a 5 star stay. Would recommend and stay again.

The perfect location for a holiday on the west coast of Mull, the house is a comfy, cosy and well appointed. The kitchen (with Aga) and adjoining "blister" are a highlight - the latter offering views of Ulva and breathtaking sunsets. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommended.

A beautiful, comfortable and welcoming converted farmhouse with breathtaking views across Ulva, the Sound of Ulva and Loch Tuath and well located for exploring the west coast of Mull...wonderful wildlife nearby and on Ulva with easy access to Treshnish Islands and Staffa either from Ulva Ferry (5 mins) or Tobermory (25 mins). We hope to return.

Lovely warm and welcoming cottage. Gorgeous views of the sea and Ulva. Great walks from the house - up the hill and to the waterfall and beach. Enjoyed cooking on the Aga. Lots of birds in the garden (especially when we fed them) and sheep in next door field. Deer come down from hills in the evenings. Pony trekking at Killiechronan recommended. Watched eagles from the house plus otters at the local beach. Loch Na Keal gives great views of otter, eagle and divers.

Beautifully situated cottage. So handy for Ulva and Loch na Keal. We missed the otters but we're "eagled out"!!. Great holiday
