    Cove Cottage was absolutely excellent. Wonderful views, lots of easy parking, comfortable bedrooms and living room. It's so close to Tobermory town centre for shops and restaurants and very easy to walk there safely. We would definitely stay here again
    Beware coming to Mull before April - lots of the tours and some of the amenities are closed, which was an oversight on our part, but we still had a lovely holiday

    Cove cottage provides perfect accommodation with great views of Tobermory harbour. The cottage was really comfortable and provided all of the amenities we needed .. there was nothing wanting
    Beware of the very steep hill up from the harbour … the more you do it the easier it becomes!
    There’s some great restaurants on the harbour too.. we had a great wee

    This accommodation was superb, with huge space for the two of us and our dog. The furniture and fittings were of the highest quality and the master bed could have slept four adults. It was so comfortable we recorded the mattress maker's name. Spotless too. We highly recommend Cove Cottage.

    Totally met our expectations, wonderful accommodation in a great location, clean, tidy & well presented with great quality fixtures & fittings & little touches that genuinely made us feel like we were valued guests. Communication was superb from booking to post departure. Everyone we met on the island was friendly & gave us great tips on directions & places to go. Left refreshed, relaxed & rejuvenated.

    Very well presented accommodation and great location to explore Tobermory and northern & central Mull Nice touches provided on our arrival. The kitchen was well equipped as we did quite a bit of cooking and bedrooms very comfortable. Lovely views of the harbour from the front door. The property is a steep climb from Tobermory front but there is a direct footpath down. A very enjoyable week.

    Our second stay in Cove Cottage. It’s a lovely property in a great location with a fabulous view from the living room window. Spotlessly clean and had everything that we needed.
    The treats for the dogs and Tobermory whisky and gin for the humans were much appreciated.
    Already booked again for next year.

    We had a wonderful week's stay in this gorgeous flat.
    The accommodation was immaculately clean, tastefully furnished, a really good size and had everything we need. The bed was huge and one of the most comfortable we've ever slept in. Views from the cottage were spectacular. The welcome gifts of whisky, gin and milk and biscuits were a lovely touch.
    This was our first stay in Mull and we fell in love with it, if we are fortunate enough to return we would not hesitate to stay at Cove Cottage. Thank you Shona, David and Magda for everything

    What CAN we say. This property is by far the best we have ever stayed in, in Scotland. Cove cottage, lower flat, was easily found…….but then, I know Tobermory well! Very handy for the town. No need to use the car. Accessed by a key safe so no need to bother the owners or the housekeeper, Magda. The whole place was light, airy, inviting and homely and Magda had prepared it to the highest standard. It was absolutely spotless. A lovely welcome pack was waiting for us…..local biscuits, milk, teabags, coffee pods and a miniature each of Tobermory gin and Tobermory malt whiskey. What more could ask!

    Booking was very easy and e-mails re island walks , trips etc. Cottage was great - very clean , tastefully decorated and all we needed for our holiday. Unlike other holiday cottages it was great to have basic things - dishwasher tabs, cleaning products, and some basic provisions ( milk, tea /coffee, biscuits etc ) provided
    We could not have asked for better weather for our visit which made all the difference. Know Mull cottages not responsible for that - But a bonus !

The views were wonderful, the house spotless and bed and bedding very comfortable. Also well equipped enough that we could host our daughter, son in law and wee granddaughter for proper meal in return for all the meals we have had with them. Thank you.

Great welcome pack; made us feel so very welcome. Staying at the end of October, we were worried we might be cold but Cove is very warm and cosy. Amazing view from the lounge!

Cove is very spacious with comfy furniture and the 2 immaculate bathrooms were a bonus in a 2 bedroom cottage. The wee welcome dram was very welcome.

    A wonderful week at Cove cottage. I can only endorse all the reviews that have already been written and am struggling to add a new one, however, I would like to add that we came home to our king size bed and after our stay at Cove, all of a sudden it feels like a double! Bella our yellow lab smiled all week and it’s so appreciated that dogs are very welcome. Gillie and Duncan have a wonderful place in a great location.

    Cove Cottage is ideally situated with super views of Tobermory harbour from the lounge and outside seating and perfect for exploring the town. The cottage was spotlessly clean and by far the best welcome pack we have had in the many cottages we have stayed in on Mull. The owners Gillie and Duncan made us very welcome without imposing themselves in any way. If you fancy a stay in Tobermory, we would definitely recommend Cove Cottage.

The cottage had everything we needed and then some; our hosts had taken time for little additions and touches that made you feel so welcome and took the stress out of our arrival. For me, the all important comfy beds, helped us recuperate from our journey. We had a great holiday in spite of patchy weather, and when we wanted to stay an extra night they helped us find somewhere - thank you :-)

    Cove Cottage is a real home away from home. It is very well maintained and equipped to a high standard with a lovely cosy feel to the property. The super king sized bed in the main bedroom was amazing and I'm currently trying to work out if I can fit one in at home! The welcome pack with local produce included was such a thoughtful touch and made our arrival after a long journey that much nicer.

    A beautifully presented, spacious and superbly equipped place to stay in a perfect elevated location in the heart of Tobermory. The house is superbly equipped and finished to a very high standard. The effort the owners put in to making you feel welcome on your arrival is exceptional... that happy mood just doesn’t dip at all for the rest of your stay in Cove Cottage. Mull is a glorious island that takes time to explore properly so, like us, you’ll be back again. It’ll be to Cove Cottage for us next time.
