    Very comfortable and cosy cottage in a great location. Property is very well laid out and equipped and the view from it is amazing. An excellent time was had by all.

    Bookend Cottage was a fabulous place to stay for a week. It was well furnished, quiet, comfortable and the view from the living room is fantastic. We would definitely go back and stay again!

    Overall, a fantastic cottage. We will definitely stay there again, but it does have a few *MINOR* irritations: 1) no companion set for the fire, so how do you remove ashes after using it?; 2) measly amount of bin bag liners provided (had to buy our own); 3) only 6.5 (yes, 6.5!) dishwasher tablets provided for 7 nights' stay; 4) no instructions on bin collection days; 5) no recycling bin; 6) no induction hob instructions; 7) no dishcloths; 8) no DVD player; 9) own coffee percolator useless on induction hob. But still, a wonderful cottage, and would gladly stay again.

    A fabulous cottage with a beautiful view just,, if you can handle the steep hill, a short walk to the front. We had a very good week here - thank you!!

    We loved this cottage and its five star view towards the harbour. The best Scottish cottage we have stayed in over the last 18 years. Our quibbles are the same as Honor Woods's in May 2023. The washing machine is great but isn't a washer dryer. 3 of the 4 frying pans don't seem to work on the induction hob. There is no DVD player as stated on the website. Directions for foot passengers would be appreciated. We went up the scenic route through the wood with our suitcases, which was a challenge, there is a much easier route up just before the Coop. Despite these quibbles, we will be back!

    This is a very well equipped, light airy cottage, beautifully designed. Never been so comfortable or warm staying in the Scottish isles. Great view to look out upon. Great showers. Altogether very happy with the cottage.
    Our quibble would be the lack of any instruction manuals on how to use anything electrical apart from the heating /boiler. I struggled with the induction hob and washer/dryer. Also no instructions when to put the bin out. Lastly we had travelled by plane, train and ferry to get here and there is no welcome pack of any sort. Just wanted a cuppa!
    Yes we would come back.

    Another fabulous stay in this lovely cottage. Excellent views to the harbour, very modern and light, well equipped and comfortable. We love the open plan space and having two bathrooms is also great. Easy parking, quiet neighbourhood and a friendly cat too! We would definitely recommend and will hopefully be back again next year.

    We had a lovely stay in the Bookend Cottage. The location is great and the house has great views over Tobermory. The kitchen is well equipped, and the rooms had good storage. The upstairs is definitely the best aspect of the house, very spacious and comfy couches (nice to not have leather!) The only drawback for me is the lack of privacy downstairs with people easily able to see in the bedrooms unless you had the blinds closed, which would possibly put me off future visits but we still enjoyed our stay.

    We loved our stay at Bookend Cottage. The modern open plan living/kitchen area is perfect to relax in, whilst looking out at the fabulous view over Tobermory to the sea. The cottage is well equipped, with lovely furnishings, modern bathrooms and comfy beds. It's on a quiet street with easy parking and good access to all that Tobermory has to offer. Would highly recommend.

    A lovely, well equipped and comfortable cottage. Amazing views over Tobermory. As others have said it's a steep walk back from the town to the cottage but there are great views to be had as you do it.

    A beautiful cottage on a beautiful island. The huge window in the lounge opens up and allows you to admire the wonderful views of Tobermory bay. We had a great time. The cottage is ideally located for walking down to the main street. It is a steep climb back up but you can take breaks to admire the scenery.

    Bookend Cottage is a very well designed cottage with a lovely living space. The views are amazing and it is very relaxing to look down into the harbour from the living room. The one thing which stopped us giving a 5 star review was that a few items needed better maintenance. Otherwise highly recommended.

    Clean and very well presented cottage with great view and very easy to use log burner.I think additional seating in garden would be useful as present seating is out of the sun mid afternoon when many people return from walks. The climb up from the village is very steep and if you mobility issues you would need a car..

    A beautiful property on a beautiful island. Huge window in lounge allows great views of Tobermory bay. We had a wonderful time. It is a steep climb up from Tobermory Main Street meaning we did drive down particularly when shopping. Overall a great place to stay.

    Had another great week in Bookend Cottage - weather not quite as good as last year but didn't stop us going out walking every day. Men completed the Mull cycle ride (long course) for third consecutive year.
    Really comfortable lounge/diner to relax in and enjoy the views from floor to ceiling window, which opens up fully.
    Nice quiet location within easy walking distance to the harbour and good restaurants/hotels. Lovely place to stay and unwind. Would definitely recommend.
