Balmeanach Farmhouse Reviews

This is a magical place. The views of the mountains and the sea are a real WOW. And the remoteness of the location just adds to the alure. We had a wonderful two weeks.

We loved everything about the house and mull we have booked to go back next October. The beautiful beach across the field was so special we called it our private beach and went swimming there, we explored the isle and we all personally thought the house was in the best place. The house was comfortable and lovely and clean thank you to the caretaker's.

Stunning location but a long drive to anywhere else. Comfortable hotel standard bedrooms. The house is surrounded by trees and a very high hedge so no sea views as advertised. The living room only seats 6 (we were 7 adults) and the ‘dining room’ is so narrow no one could get in or out once seated. Although advertised as ‘pet friendly’ the dog was only allowed in the kitchen and utility room. We ended up spending all our time in the kitchen. The garden was not secure as sheep appeared and disappeared in it so we could not leave the dog in the garden unsupervised. It was not a relaxing holiday.

We absolutely loved this house. The location is stunning and house itself spacious comfortable and well equipped. The nearby beach across the fields is beautiful, and the walk to McKinnons cave muddy, but spectacular. We saw, from the cottage, dolphins, eagles and merlin.
It's a long drive to get anywhere, but the roads are so so spectacular it doesn't really matter - it becomes an integral part of the day out.
The kids loved the table tennis room - although one tip - take spare table tennis balls with you!
The kids rated this as their top holiday ever and are already pestering to return.

This has to be the best location on the island and one of the top 10 in whole of Scotland!
The house is beautiful and provides everything you could possibly want for a wonderful holiday.

Fantastic cottage. Comfortable and fully equipped which makes a stay with three children easy. Secure garden for the dog to run around. Ensure to take food supplies with you as the co-op is in Tobermoray which is 40 mins away. We went in February which is obviously out of season but a lot is closed until April and hotels serve dinner at 6pm which makes getting an early meal a challenge. The walk to the beach is across the field in front of the house and and you need to cross the stream so use the gate nearest the house so you are the right side! This takes a good 20mins with kids.

A lovely property in a stunning location. Plenty of room for two families of four with teenage children. Well equipped, spacious and comfortable. The setting is incredible with golden eagles on the cliffs on one side, and whales and dolphins out to sea from the front (but just need to cut the hedges a little bit more). We'd definitely go back!

Beautiful property, very spacious and comfortable.
Agree with previous comments- this property is surrounded by stunning scenery that cannot be enjoyed due to high hedges that need to be cut back or removed to leave the fence only.
Better garden furniture needed that is child friendly.
Private beach nearby is not safely accessible to small children, this should be noted on the information.
Overall fantastic house in a lovely remote location, we would highly recommend.

A gorgeous property set in outstanding scenery with great views in a remote part of the island. The house is well appointed and very comfortable, it had everything we needed. A fantastic base for a memorable visit.

We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely house, nestled amongst hills and a lovely swimming bay. Super facilities including beautiful bathrooms and bedrooms. Could do with better outdoor furniture and some views cut into the high hedges and fewer trinkets but none of that takes away the hard work that goes into making this a truly special Mull holiday house.

Lovely house in a superb location with breathtaking views. Lovely private beach a 15 min walk down to the coast. Very well equipped.

Balmeanach Farmhouse is in a fabulous location, great for walking and cycling, and a great base for exploring Mull. It is extremely comfortable and a joy to return to after a day spent in Mull's changeable weather. Would highly recommend.

A lovely place to stay in a beautiful location. Part of the beauty is its remoteness - just arrive with plenty supplies, it’s a long drive to the nearest shop.
The farmhouse has excellent, modern facilities with plenty of space while still retaining a cosy and welcoming feel.

Fabulous cottage in a great setting. The housekeeper Caroline was great and so helpful! The outside furniture was disappointing but inside was a delight! Would highly recommend to anyone.

Staying at Balmeanach has probably spoiled us for any other holiday cottage we may stay at in the future. It is extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished, very clean, well-equipped and an absolute delight to return to after our days out. It is in a wonderful location with views of Staffa and the Treshnish Isles from the kitchen window. We really cannot recommend it more highly, and would love to stay here again when we return to Mull.
