“Home Comfort on Mull”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2007

The Govans, Colin, Gill, and 12 yo son Dexter, run the kind of small, homey B&B that is fast disappearing from the traveler's world. They have two rooms (with shared bath) in a separately accessed wing of their cottage home. This is like staying with friends or family. There's no pretense, Laura Ashley hasn't been in charge of decoration, but you are invited to share the Govan's hospitality, their living room, and their experience in helping make your visit to Mull a most pleasant one. Bonus: Colin is a gourmet cook and will be happy to prepare an eat-in dinner for you with some advance notice. We feasted on cod-roe appetizer, venison pie, pear tart & local ice cream the night we stayed in, and it was one of the best meals on our month's trip to Scotland and Ireland. Nice folks on a spectacular island, and within walking distance of town (Tobermory), if you don't mind the rather stiff climb.

  • Liked — The warm family atmosphere
  • Disliked — For us it was all enjoyable, some might quibble with the steep walk into town.

“Very enjoyable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2006

Had a very enjoyable stay in this B & B. There is a very friendly family atmosphere that makes you feel most welcome, the owners are very helpful, recommending things to do, places to see, and where and where not to eat.

The rooms were adequate, nothing fancy but not too basic!

In a good location, we struggled to find it at first but it's in close vicinity to the main street in Tobermory, handy for everywhere in Tobermory!

  • Liked — Friendly atmosphere
  • Disliked — Rooms perhaps a little basic

“Lovely wee B&B!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 July 2006

person found this review helpful

Myself and my 2 friends really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this B&B.... the owners were very friendly and helpful and the accommodation although basic, was very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and the location was great - a short walk down to the colourful bars, restaurants and shops at Tobermory Harbour.

Stayed June 2006
