    We loved it ! Just quality- the bed linen, kitchen equipment, soaps and smellies in the bathroom. We lit a fire each night and watched the weather roll in - it has been bliss . Hosts are fabulous- nothing is too much trouble.
    The Galleon restaurant was excellent , as was Western Isles restaurant.
    The highlight really was Columba though . Thank you ????

    A wonderful, classy, well presented apartment that was spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed. It wanted for nothing. The kitchen was well kitted out with everything we could possibly need. The views from the bedroom and lounge were stunning and the bed was sooooooo comfy! There were some lovely extra touches such as a bottle of wine and biscuits and a lovely welcome note from Rona, the housekeeper. We would definitely stay here again.

    Absolutely stunning views from the apartment overlooking Tobermory. Felt like a real home from home. Much better than staying in a hotel after walking and sightseeing. Everything was provided bar food. Brilliant holiday in a beautiful place. Owners and cleaner so so nice too. Thank you

    Beatiful accomodation. Lots to see, do and eat close by. Or you could just sit outside in the garden and drink in the view. Highly recommended.

    Superb view, superb apartment and close to all amenities in the village, including the excellent Fish Cafe. Like staying in a five star hotel suite with the bonus of a well equipped kitchen. Friendly hosts and thanks for the welcome gifts which were much appreciated.

    This has been our dream-apartment for the holiday: the view, the style, the friendliness of the host: everything is so nice and there has never been another room with this view. Thank You!

    We loved Columba Apartment and your hosts are amazing. From the moment we arrived it exceeded our expectations and we were sad to say goodbye. This is ideally located above the village and a 5 min walk from anything along the waterfront. You couldn’t ask for a better view to wake up to each morning.

    A delightfully positioned apartment with a lovely garden and superb view. Very comfortable and with everything we needed for a most enjoyable stay.
    Very conveniently situated to explore Mull, we found lots of lovely walks. Luckily Cafe Fish had just opened and we managed to get a booking and had an excellent meal, more than can be said of Mishnish!

    Our first visit to the beautiful island of Mull exceeded all expectations. This included the very comfortable and spacious high quality accommodation at Columba apartment. The view from the living room and bedroom above the harbour and beyond were stunning.
    There was plenty to see and to do even though Scotland was just reopening; Iona, Staffa and Lunga puffins are a must. So much more to explore- hope to return soon.

    From the moment we entered to the day we left we thought this apartment was first class, well equipped and furnished with homely good quality products, very clean and well managed. Everything on the doorstep, well stocked CoOp supermarket and wonderful bakery 5 mins walk, many restaurants were still closed except the Mishsnish, we went there on our first Monday and enjoyed it, but on the Wednesday we waited 1 hour for our only course which was Lobster, when it arrived it was so tough we sent it back and left without anything, maybe it was just a bad night but be aware.
    Fantastic week!!

    This is a lovely apartment with great views over the bay. Everything was good quality and very well equiped . This was a very comfortable place to stay. Last but not least the total peace and quiet except for the bird song was so restful. Pity that the apartment is booked for the season, we hope to be back.

    A really stunning apartment. Amazing views. Luxurious bedding. Relaxing bath. Well equipped. Very tasteful furnishings and decor. Comfy sofas. Sharp knives. Very welcome wine, card and flowers. Because of COVID we mainly ate at the apartment. Highly recommend Tobermoray Fish Company for purchasing Fabulous food. Thankyou very much for a lovely stay. We have recommended it to friends.

    A wonderful apartment which is very comfortable and spacious. There is plenty of hot water and a wonderful electric under-blanket if needed. We were able to make use of the outside chairs as well as the weather was mostly good. The measures put in place for COVID-19 were excellent and it felt very clean and safe.
    The views are amazing and it was lovely not to be on the main street.
    I can't recommend this place enough.

    love the objets d"art, the spa bath after a long walk. Thoughtful touches include. good china, flowers, wine, soap, lots of fuel for the open fire, not just starter fuel.
    Not to mention the glorious view, So homely.
    We will be back.

    Excellent apartment with stunning views. Great base to explore..and we found puffins on Lunga although they were packing up ready to depart in the first half of August. We ate out all week, mostly at Cafe Fish which is superb cooking, but book in advance!. A real bonus to see Karen Matheson in concert inTobermory that week. My E class easily parked in allocated space!.....highly commended!

    Fabullous setting
    Wonderful views over lovely Tobermory
    Not a score of 5 because of the need for better customer care before arrival:
    Dishwasher defective, 4 bulbs blown, dirty bathroom, blunt and worn out kitchen knives, ridiculously small parking spaces for a family car (Audi S4) Sorry!

    Absolutely stunning apartment. The owners have taken so much thought, care and spared no cost to provide superb facilities. Lounge and bedroom very spacious and luxurious, with both remaining warm and cosy, a delight to return after a days exploration on Mull. We cannot fault any aspect of Columba apartment, and thank the owners, and housekeeper very much for their hard work at such short notice. Would highly recommend this, or any of the other two apartments at Ulva House. Beautiful.

    The perfect apartment to spend Christmas in. It was warm and cosy especially with the open fire and spa bath. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to produce Christmas dinner, and the flowers, wine, biscuits and Mull soap were much appreciated.
    It was lovely watching the sun set over Tobermory Bay after a day’s wildlife watching.

    We had a magical stay in Columba Apt. The views are absolutely stunning and the apartment is decorated and equipped to the highest standards. The welcome treats were very much appreciated and enjoyed! Although there are many restaurants, we cooked mussels and scallops one night at home because the best view in Tobermory is from the apartment/outside seating area and the kitchen had everything you would need. We used the book on Walks on Mull and spent days walking to standing stones and beaches and views more spectacular than the next all over the island. For anyone not completely prepared for the blustery weather, the Trek store on the dock near the distillery is well stocked and the prices are what I expected to pay for rain gear or hiking shoes. Our only disappointment was that the Puffins had left 3 days before our trip to Staffa. Fingal's cave was worth the trip anyway.

    Absolutely beautiful apartment. Exactly as described with fabulous views. A favourite spot was sitting in front of the bedroom french doors, coffee,or glass in hand, taking it all in. Plenty to do if you want it, or otherwise just enjoy the tranquillity. No shortage of places to eat,a short stroll away,though the return route on a full tummy is best taken slowly !
    Would highly recommend.

    Lovely flat. I felt immediately at home. The bedroom has a stunning view as does the lounge. The wine was very welcomed on arrival. The open fire place is wonderful on a blustery stormy night. The jacuzzi bath warms your bones after a long walk.

    A beautiful apartment with stunning views. Flowers, wine and shortbread on arrival- what a lovely welcome. Good walks from the apartment and Tobermory excellent for food. Food at Tobermory hotel and Cafe Fish very good. Conservatory at the nearby Western Isles hotel great for an early evening drink. Used the local bus to go to other areas of Mull. On time and drivers very friendly. As it was April went to see the puffins on the Isle of Lunga, not to be missed. Great 5 day break.

    Columba Apartment was just stunning. The most comfortable bed have ever slept in with the most amazing views! Furnishings & decor such quality. We felt really spoilt and will forever remember watching the forever changing light & moods over Tobermory harbour from the comfort of this little haven. The fresh flowers, wine & welcoming card also lovely thoughtful touches. Magnificent place.

    What a wonderful apartment. Incredible location, beautiful views and a beautifully decorated and excellently equipped apartment. The fire is fantastic and a lovely feature to return to after a cold winter day. An easy walk to the Main Street of Tobermory, we can't wait to return. The owners were welcoming and extremely helpful.

    We cannot recommend this place highly enough. The sea views from the sitting room and bedroom are stunning and the whole apartment is beautifully furnished with lovely antiques ,a fabulous spa bath ( just what you need after a long walk in the amazing Mull scenery ) and a log fire.. absolute heaven.. all the extra touches as well such as fresh flowers , shortbread, locally made soap and even a bottle of wine! It's a short walk down to the lovely harbour with great cafes, independent shops and lots of choice of restaurants . We can't wait to return .

    This a lovely appartment located high above Tobermory with fabulous views over the bay. It is a very peaceful location and perfect for a relaxing holiday. The owners are very helpful and have worked hard on every detail. The rooms are on slightly different levels and there is a walk of a few minutes down a very steep hill into the town. We had a fabulous stay despite the inclement weather. If you are planning to visit Mull it would be difficult to find anywhere better than this.
