“A lovely stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

My family and I really enjoyed our time at Sonas House. Laura was a lovely host: warm, but not at all obtrusive. She provided excellent suggestions for exploring the Isle of Mull. The accommodations were very comfortable, and very quiet and peaceful at night. It was also a pleasant place to spend the better part of a rainy day. My bed in the blue poppy room was excellent. I highly recommend Sonas House, and I would be pleased to return.

“Warm Welcome & Beautiful Views At Sonas House”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 September 2010
2
people found this review helpful

My family booked the studio apartment in July 2010, which was in a separate building from the main house above a converted garage. The room can sleep up to 4 people but requires some effort to move the coffee table and arrange the sofa bed. That aside, the room was spacious enough for the 4 of us and everything in the room were top-notch, from the clean bathroom to the comfortable beds to the self-sufficient kitchenette. Gorgeous view of the gardens and the Sound of Mull as well! The only issue I had was that the floor creaked a little so it wasn't convenient walking around when someone else was already sleeping. Also, the wifi was very weak and we had problems connecting to the internet from the apartment.

I didn't get to meet Laura who runs the B&B but her mum gave us a warm welcome and showed us the swimming pool and ran us through the amenities in the kitchenette as well as the generous continental breakfast spread which was already all kept in our room refrigerator. She also kindly told us that we could use the swimming pool after 7pm as they didn't mind closing it a little later. It was a shame though, cos we were out till late and left early the next morning and didn't have a chance to use the swimming pool which looked really welcoming!

Sonas House is located on the hills above the main street of Tobermory and only a short walk or drive down, albeit a steep one, but this shouldn't put you off staying here! Truly a place I would highly recommended to all visiting Tobermory!

“Impressive accommodation”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2010

Sonas House is a real treat. Rooms are beautiful, spacious and have excellent private outdoor areas which are a great feature when the sun shines. All the little extras like wine glasses and fresh milk are provided. The use of the swimming pool (larger than we expected) was a bonus. Good choice of breakfast food and Laura was helpful in getting dinner booked in advance for us.

“The swimming pool and the views really make this place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 August 2010

The swimming pool and the views over the bay make this B&B. We stayed in the studio apartment above the garage which was great for our needs as it had a fridge/microwave and small work surface/kitchen unit so you could do your own breakfast. Although the room wasn't exactly luxurious, it was nicely decorated and the furnishings were simple and modern. The owner was lovely and not intrusive. The pool was lovely and because there are only a few guests, it was very quiet. I'd definitely go back.
