    An excellent well equipped property in a lovely location. The personal greetings from the owner prior to and on arrival were a wonderful touch. It was handy for the restaurants in Tobermory and we were only 40 minutes away from prime otter and, sea and golden eagle spotting sites; we'll be back!

    Ulva Apartment is gorgeous. So clean and well equipped with the most amazing views. Everything you need and lovely little touches, books, dvds etc.
    The stairs are windy and steep, just be careful- it's worth it!
    I can certainly recommend it for a lovely holiday in Tobermory.

    Ulva is a very well-positioned, well equipped, comfortable, clean and spacious apartment. The views over the harbour mean you don't need to use the TV. Being in the heart of Tobermory means very easy access to shops & restaurants etc., although if, like use, you are on the island mainly for the wildlife, then there is always a bit of a drive required to get away from Tobermory. Would definitely recommend this apartment and would love to stay there again one day.

    Lovely well equipped property, in a great location with stunning views over the bay. Really close to shops, restaurants and takeaways. An Tobar gallery & venue just a short walk away up back brae.
    Owners had thought of everything with lots of nice little touches like books, dvds and some jigsaws. Even provided some binoculars for viewing wildlife.
    Property was clean and tidy and felt very light and airy. Just a great place to stay. We'll definitely be back again.

    Ulva is a comfortable, well organised and airy flat , with fabulous views over the harbour at Tobermory.
    The bed we used was very comfortable and despite the proximity of the road and pub we were undisturbed.
    Lots of useful implements to hand and the kitchen was extremely well equipped.
    Everything was wonderful and just what we had hoped for .

    Lovely apartment with great view over the harbour
    Well equipped kitchen (plenty of cutler, crockery and cooking utensils) and lounge. Sofas for 4, dining chairs and table for 6. Double bed medium and single bed firm. It was nice to have all the instruction manuals for the appliances. The spiral staircase was difficult for carrying suitcases up and the shower over the bath was very difficult to stand in as it was both slippery and had no flat surface to stand on. Otherwise this was a lovely apartment.

    We had a great stay at the Ulva apartment - everything was easy, from making the reservation, throughout our stay, and the departure. The location was ideal, and the apartment is lovely, well-appointed, and clean. Comfortable seating with great views, a large kitchen that has everything you'd need, and the beds were comfortable. We'd definitely book it again!

    A very bright and airy apartment with excellent views over Tobermory harbour. Very well equipped for self-catering, but also with many options for eating out.

    Lovely, light and airy apartment with great views over Tobermory harbour. Very well equipped with comfortable beds and sofas. No problem with noise from the pub even though we were there over the coronation weekend. Good places to eat nearby - try the Mishnish restaurant and Cafe Fish, both outstanding. The trip to Staffa and the Treshnish Isles was brilliant.

    A well equipped apartment which was very clean and comfortable. The shower over the bath was awkward to use as the bath is very narrow and difficult to stand under the shower.. The supplied bath mat did not help as it was too large to fit the bottom of the bath. The stairs are not ideal but if you can manage them the views from the apartment make it worth the effort. The location was perfect with walks from the door. There is a small co op in Tobermorey but the availability of produce was very patchy and they often had empty shelves. Staffing levels were also a problem.

    We loved this apartment! We have stayed in this building several times but this is the first time in the Ulva apartment. We loved the lounge with its dual outlook onto the harbour and Tobermory high street. We could sit all day and watch the comings and goings in the harbour. Lovely, well-equipped kitchen, nice shower and comfortable bed. The perfect location to enjoy Tobermory and explore the beauty of Mull.

    This is great apartment with excellent views over the harbour. The kitchen is well stocked. The bedrooms could perhaps be refurbished but they were comfortable and functional. On three nights there was a lot of noise outside from those leaving the pub around 1am which woke us up. But on the whole a lovely apartment and would visit again.

    A comfortable well equipped flat overlooking the harbour. The location couldn't be better with an easy walk to the well-equipped co-op and the "best bakery" in Scotland. The Staffa boat trips start just five minutes walk away. There is a most efficient bus service on the island (strongly recommended as the best way to go to Iona) with a terminal also a five minutes walk. There are lovely walks to do along the coast from the flat.

    Our 2nd time in this wonderful apartment, which has amazing views of Tobermory harbour from the lounge and main bedroom. The stairs up to Ulva are quite awkward carrying suitcases as they’re spiral but it’s worth the climb! The kitchen is well equipped, & there are efficient radiators for cold days, together with comfortable beds and sofas. A handbook on kitchen appliances was useful. The apartment’s proximity to local shops and restaurants is very convenient, and we didn’t have to drive far before seeing the amazing wildlife and scenery that Mull offers. We hope to return for a 3rd visit!

    The Ulva apartment provided everything we needed for a weeks holiday - amazing views from windows to the front and side, comfortable bed, very well equipped kitchen and best of all the location within Tobermory. Although a few of the local attractions were closed due to being out of season or restrictions through covid it certainly didn't stop us enjoying the Isle of Mull. I would certainly recommend this apartment.

    Really first class accommodation helped make our trip to Mull even better. The flat felt like a true home from home. The close proximity of all amenities was another plus - even parking did not prove an issue. As a base for exploring the island it was perfect. Returning to the flat at night felt relaxing - the ability to sit and watch the harbour comings and goings added to the feeling of relaxation. Would I go back - absolutely, the accommodation was very good indeed.

    This was our third stay in Ulva apartment, and we will definitely return again soon. The harbour view from the lounge is lovely, and the flat is close to all the amenities in Tobermory. We enjoyed day trips to Ardnamurchan, Iona, Calgary bay, and the Staffa Tours boat trip is great to Staff and Lunga to see Fingal's Cave and the amazing puffins respectively. Can't wait to come back!

    We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely airy and spacious apartment with fabulous views across the bay. Really accessible for getting around the island and across to Calgary for a swim or down to Iona for the day. The apartment is very well equipped with comfortable furnishings and bed , and easy to get to the local restaurants which had just opened back up after the lockdown. The flat was very clean and warm . We would definitely stay here again . The agency and owner have been very accommodating which I was very grateful for . Thankyou for a lovely stay .

    This is a gem of a place to stay. The apartment has views across the harbour and is perfectly placed for watching the boats and comings and goings! It is very well equipped and has everything you need for a really comfortable stay. We appreciated the generous towels, great shower and spotless accomodation. Parking was no problem but you do need to be fit enough to climb the 2 flights of stairs up. It's an ideal base for a holiday on Mull and we hope to be back next year. The agency and owner were brilliant at communication too. Many thanks for a great stay!

    We loved staying in the apartment. The location is brilliant - amazing views and near all the amenities especially the Co-op. It is spotlessly clean, warm (we went at the end of October) and very well-equipped. It's on the second floor so there are quite a few steps - something to bear in mind if that's an issue for you. There's plenty of on road parking.

    I stayed in the lovely Ulva apartment for a month. What a great location to have as a home base from which to explore Mull from. The view is spectacular. So nice to come back to it after a long day of hillwalking, sightseeing, boat trips, etc. The place is simple, very comfortable, and reasonably priced. The owner was helpful, and responsive to my needs. I’ve read some of the other reviews and found no trouble with the stairs. Others mentioned the bathtub being difficult but there is a sturdy hand rail to hold onto getting in and out of it. I’m in my mid 60’s and found everything easy.

    Excellent location overlooking the bay - how often did we sit on the window seats just watching the boats !! Spotlessly clean and well furnished. Very comfortable. Didn’t notice any noise from the pub nearby. Parking was sometimes an issue but only insofar as we didn’t get parked right outside but we were never far away and we laughed about it ! The spiral access stair was a bit tricky and would benefit from an inside handrail. Would definitely recommend Ulva and Mull in general.

    Beautifully appointed apartment with everything you would need catered for. Stunning views across the harbour and close to all facilities. Great to sit and watch all the activity in the harbour. Sadly didn't see any dolphins but did see a seal, plenty of sea birds and herons! Parking a little bit hit and miss, especially on the first night, however, less of an issue as week went on. Pub next door very popular, but did not notice any noise - enjoyed a nice meal in there on the last night. Mull is a wonderful island, we will be back and would consider this accommodation again for certain.

    Loved the apartment (when we eventually found it) directions were a bit vague. Spiral stair could be a problem but we could and did, sit in the window seats forever looking out over Tobermory bay. And on our last day a pod of dolphins came in to catch fish around the boats. Fantastic week.

    A wonderful apartment. Spotless on arrival and equipped with everything you could ever need. Amazing views out of the 3 windows. Superb location with an array of shops outside your door. Pubs, restaurants, cafe, bakery, gift shops and lots more. My only concern is the very high bath which could be difficult for people with mobility problems. I almost slipped a few times whilst getting out. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

    Couldn't be beaten for location - plenty of parking available (not always directly outside). We really enjoyed our stay: lovely clean apartment with everything we needed. Worth pointing out that the flat upstairs has wooden flooring so movement can be heard - not a major issue apart from late night/early morning. The double bed has a solid wood end which made it a little difficult for a very tall man. Views of the town and harbour were brilliant, as was the Mishnish pub in the same block.

    Great location. Lovely clean apartment. Very handy and central for everything in Tobermory. Superb views out over the bay of Tobermory. Close for shops, bakery, cafes, restaurants etc. Only 2 main issues were; a high walled bath made it a bit tricky for my elderly Dad to get in and out of. Also the bathroom lock wasn't working. Apart from that, definitely worth a visit.

    A lovely place, well kept up. Great views of the harbor right below you and very well situated in Porsoy with easy walking everywhere. On weekend nights there is a tendency for people from the bar two doors down to spill out onto the streets. When this happens, it can be kind of noisy in the late hours of the night. That probably would not have happened if the weather hadn't been so nice! Other than that it was very quiet. We would definitely stay there again.

    The most delightful apartment with breathtaking views from three windows.. Exceptionally well-equipped . The simplest most efficient shower one could wish for although the deep bath might prove difficult for anyone with a mobility problem. The proximity of an excellent bakery proved too tempting to resist. It is nearly thirty years since I last came to Mull and and any changes have all been for the better, especially the road surfaces. It rained every day we spent on this wonderful island but it is still one of the best places on Earth.

    A lovely apartment with absolutely delightful views over Tobermoray bay. Close to cafes, restaurants, shops and other amenities, but at the same time quiet peaceful and very restful.
    The apartment is well appointed with a good range of cooking equipment and comfortable furniture and beds, and a TV and DVD player should the weather become too daunting to venture out.
    We have only marked the apartment down from 5 points to 4 because there are two flights of stairs to the apartment, and these and access to the rather high bath could be problematic for people with mobility problems.
    This was our second stay in Ulva Apartment, and I certainly hope it won't be our last.

    I have stayed at this wonderful apartment 3 times in the last two years and have already booked for this year (2015). The location is brilliant and handy for shopping with an excellent book shop nearby. The highlight for me must be watching an otter catching fish and eating them on a moored boat just below our window.
