“Outstanding B&B in a Wonderful, Remote Location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

I absolutely love this place. We arrived late, after a nine-hour drive in the rain and were so grateful for Cathy's warm welcome -- and the tipple of Scotch she offered.

The place is in a gorgeous setting, about two miles from the village of Bunnessan and also not far from Fionnphort, which has the ferry over to Iona. It's a short walk from the B&B to a wide beach surrounded by wildflowers and the organic Ardalanish farm, where you can buy wool yarn and unique clothing and watch the weavers at work. You can also walk through the farm and enjoy stunning views amid a range of flowers, birds, highland cows and Hebridean sheep.

The lounge and several rooms have great views out to the water and the island of Jura. The rooms weren't huge compared with other B&Bs we stayed at in Scotland, but they were our favorite because of the thoughtful design & layout -- bedside lights & bookshelves, and lots of little hooks and nooks for belongings.

Lots of books are provided in the lounge -- ranging from books on local history or flora and fauna, to classic lit. And the resident golden retrievers Coots and Cara will keep you company should you decide to spend an evening reading in the lounge.

Breakfast wasn't overly generous, but substantial enough and very tasty. We didn't try dinner here, but ate a couple of meals at the Argyll Arms in Bunnessan, which while VERY slow, had decent food and even some good vegetarian options.

Our host Cathy very helpfully made a reservation for us at the Argyll, as we were delayed getting to town our first night, and also by doing our laundry for a minimal fee. We got the impression that she really cares about the comfort & happiness of her guests and we left feeling rejuvenated by our visit.

“Could not ask for better”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 June 2011 via mobile

Location on the Ross of Mull is ideal for visiting Iona. We were able to take our dog. Meals were a treat We could not have been looked after better.

“Cracking stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2011

This was my first time to Mull and the hotel made it a fantastic trip.

My room was spotless, comfortable with all the facilitles you'd expect from a small hotel i.e. great selection of teas and coffees in the room. The location was excellant, only a half mile walk from the shore with views of Colonsay.

The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you, making you feel at home. The huge benefit of a smaller hotel from the faceless chains.

Breakfast was included, with fresh island produce such as sausages and bacon. If you didn't want to go out for dinner, you could order a two or three course meal in the evening. Again, all fresh produce, the prawns had been caught that day - amazing.

This place is great for anyone looking for a base to explore Mull, only 20 minutes from the Iona ferry and an hour from Tobermory (depending on route taken).

Thanks again for a brilliant welcome and a great stay.

“Fantastic location, fantastic food and fantastic hosts.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 March 2011

We try and visit Mull three or four times a year. The majority of the time we stay at Ardachy House Hotel in the self catering apartment. Though only one bedroom, there is a sofa bed in the sitting room. The views from the sitting room are amazing...down to Ardalanish beach and across to the Paps of Jura on a clear day. Although the furniture may be a little dated, it is comfortable and has everything you need. Dogs are also welcome as the owners Maggie and Cathy themselves own two goiden retrievers. The beach is a 7min walk from the hotel. Maggie's cooking is well worth booking if you can; fresh, local produce is used. Maggie and Cathy are very welcoming and ensure that your stay exceeds your expectations.

“Great hidden location, lovely food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 June 2010

Very nice host and fabolous breakfast. Also ate dinner there and it was delicious. They are wavers close by so we also had a look around there. The beach is deserted and for your own personal use! Perfect!
