    Wonderful stay in a cottage we rented before. Great location with nice views over the Tobermory bay.
    The cottage had everything we needed. We used the wood burning stove a few times.

    Lovely cottage for our base for a lovely, sunny, calm week. The directions to the house were spot on. Brian was attentive to our additional needs and provided a stool and grab rails for the downstairs shower, which we asked for hopefully on booking. Nothing was too much trouble. Would absolutely recommend.

    Excellent, modern clean and cosy house with all facilities. The garden and patio are really good and the views over the bay are lovely. The very friendly owners Brian and Lynne live next door and gave us lots of good advice about the island's many attractions. In colder weather the wood burning stove and limitless supply of free logs would be ideal!
    Thanks again Brian and Lynne for a great week; we hope to be back soon!

    Brian and Lyn were very helpful but not invasive our our privacy. We had one issue which was dealt with quickly.Lovely log burner , with free logs, was great when we needed it.We are happy to recommend these cottages to our friends .

    This was very high up on our list as one of the nicest cottages we have ever stayed in. The attention to detail was fantastic, the owner Bryan was very helpful and we were made very welcome. This delightful home from home for us was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and we loved it. We will be back if we come this way again and Tobermory was as good as it is in the photos.

    We stayed end of March into April. Cruachan cottage was easy to find and when we arrived the cottage was ready with a lovely log burning fire on. It was so cosy and the owners were lovely and introduced themselves.We had a lovely week on Mull, mostly dry and the cottage was a great base to explore from. It was well equipped and had everything we needed. Spacious and decorated lovely I loved the puffin theme! There was plastic crockery and normal crockery which made it so child friendly. It is handy for Tobermory main street, bit of a hill if walking but it was easily manageable. Recommend!

Brian and Lynn have great knowledge of the area and helped point out many lovely walks. We would definitely highly recommend Cruachan Cottage and hosts, Brian and Lynn.

    We stayed for a few days in January and it will be our first choice the next time we visit.
    We were greeted by a lit fire and Lyn dropped over with a warm welcome a few minutes later.
    We were only two but this spacious house was equipped to cater for a decent sized family with a double room downstairs, a double and twin upstairs, all of which are complimented with bathroom on both levels, and you will have no problem with cooking a Sunday roast in the well appointed kitchen.

    We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely book again. Appreciated the extra touches of biscuits and coffee. The host (Brian) was there to greet us in the dark and showed us around the property. Endless supply of logs for the woodburner was a great addition. The standard of cleanliness on arrival was exceptional. Great location for Tobermory shops, bars etc. No outside noise and brilliant for dark skies. Highly recommended.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cruachan Cottage. It had everything we needed to be comfortable and cozy. It's a great location to access Tobermory to shop and enjoy the harbor town. We appreciated Brian greeting us with a warming fire in the woodstove when we arrived on a chilly afternoon. Lynn was gracious and so willing to help us several times with unfamiliar appliances. It was quiet, relaxing and hard to leave.

    Cruachan was a lovely home for us for a short stay in November. Brian was really welcoming and showed us round when we arrived, including how to light the lovely log burner. The house was spacious, spotlessly clean and was a lovely base to explore Tobermory or play board games on the rainy days. Wifi was also very good for rainy days, reliable and fast. Easy to find from the directions given and a helpful sign post to navigate the last section! Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Booked with friends just after new year, with every weather thrown in at 5 minute intervals. Cruachan was a warm, clean, comfortable and spacious base for 6. Well equipped kitchen made catering easy. Showers etc were very good. We all fitted in the living area without feeling squashed.
    The location is perfect for Tobermory itself, and NW and central Mull is handy too. However, the Ross of Mull west of say Penyghael is quite a trek - the island is bigger than we'd appreciated.

Being able to walk to the shops in Tobermory is great. The owners Brian and Lynne are so helpful and their local knowledge is excellent, we did a couple of the walks that Brian told us about.

    This was our second visit to Mull and this time 3 generations of the family came to spend a week on the island. The cottage was perfect for our needs and our 3 year old loved having the garden at the front to run around in the evenings. The owners were right there if we had any questions. My parents did find the walk back up from the village a bit of a struggle but this would not stop us from coming back again as the views from the kitchen window were brilliant. Would absolutely recommend.

    The cottage was perfect for our week on Mull. Very clean, and everything we needed as we ate in every night. Brian was very welcoming - showed us places to visit but left us alone to enjoy our time. The amount of parking space was excellent compared to other accommodation I have stayed at.
    Tobermory is an excellent place to base your holiday as the harbour is lovely and the tourist information is great for organising trips. Also the supermarket is very useful.
    If I return to Mull, which I hope I will do, I would have no hesitation staying again. Lovely accommodation in a perfect location.

    Very comfortable chalets furnished nicely, lovely outdoor space for those rare periods on Mull when the weathers nice. Great hosts, even came in and set the log burner going while we were out so the place was toasty when we got back! Short walk from the bay, but be warned it's a steep hill if you've enjoyed some hospitality in the pubs along the front!
