Our 2nd visit to Kilbeg Cottage and certainly not our last. A very comfortable and spacious property in a wonderful location for wildlife. With the added benefit of a well kept lawn garden and a secure fence to keep our dog in and the visiting sheep and cattle out.
By Pat & John Wilson stayed in July 2024
Our first trip to Mull, and what a wonderful cottage to have as our base. It had everything we needed and in a perfect location to tour round the island. We agree totally with the other reviews. Stunning. Peaceful. Relaxing. The wildlife is amazing. We have already booked Kilbeg Cottage for a week in 2025.

Our 4th time on mull but 1st time Stunning kilbeg and we have fallen in love. The views are absolutely stunning. Hen harrier and white tailed Eagle seen from the cottage. Nice central location to get around the island. Comfortable cottage with everything you need! Elizabeth was super welcoming!
By Lauren Price stayed in May 2024
We could not fault the cottage, it has everything you could wish for with amazing neighbour's i.e.
Highland cows, Mountain Hares, White tailed Eagle and Hen Harriers from the garden !!
Will definitely be back, many thanks

This was The Best Place my friend and I have stayed in. Perfect at every level for our requirements. We have stayed in more than 40 places over the past ten years, and Kilbeg combined all the best features we like! The excellent weather was a bonus and Mrs MacPhail was the loveliest of owners. Thank You.
By Fiona Hill stayed in April 2024
Lovely cosy cottage in stunning, remote location. Only sheep and highland cattle as neighbours. Fenced garden was ideal for our pup, the only time on holiday he could run round off lead. Walked to the end of Glen Forza to see the plane memorial, saw stag in the forest. Ideal location to drive north to Loch Na keal, Ulva, Ardmore etc for walks, and hour and half to get Iona ferry. Thanks Elizabeth for a wonderful week, we’ll be back!

Kilbeg cottage was beautiful. Elizabeth was very friendly. It was a stunning location. Beaches were breathtaking. Love haveing the highland cows as neighbours. Seen eagles , deer, seals but sadly no otters. So we will just have to go back . There new cottage looks stunning it’s far enough away that you both have the same peace. Weather was great. We will return.

Second time we’ve stayed with Elizabeth but first at Kilbeg. As expected, the cottage is very clean and comfortable and has everything you need. The location is stunning. Enjoyed many walks up the glen without seeing another person for hours. Wildlife is all around and you can get up close and personal with it (5 white tailed eagles in the same air space right outside the cottage one day). A perfect location to take a dog. Condolences to Elizabeth on her sad news and we hope to see you again as we will be back to Kilbeg. Superb week away. Thank you.
By Peter, Rita and Jake stayed in November 2023
Our 3d stay in Kilbeg. Felt like coming home. Comfortable, clean and beds are comfy too. Plenty of wildlife. 2 sea Eagles in tree opposite cottage couple of Golden Eagles and Buzzards, deer, toads and birds. They have built a new cottage near to Kilbeg but in no way does it intrude or interfere with your holiday or the views. Sad to hear of the passing of Hugh. Deepest condolences to Elizabeth and family. Will will return

A home from home and all on one level, exceptionally well equipped and maintained cottage, in an ideal location, with a secure garden to keep our dogs in and the visiting Highland Cattle out. The reassuring contact from the owner to make sure everything was as it should be was also much appreciated.
By Pat & John Wilson stayed in July 2023
Lovely cottage in a wonderful location. So peaceful and surrounded by wildlife. We had white tailed eagles roost two nights in trees close by. Elizabeth, one of the owners was so helpful helping us get on to the island after our ferry was cancelled, telling us what to do! We were very lucky with fantastic weather. We'll definitely be going back.
By Christine and Paul stayed in June 2023
The cottage was lovely it was like home from home we have stayed there before we will book it again in the near future.

By Michael stayed in June 2023
The cottage is superb, so well equipped, clean, warm and comfortable, you could not want for more. The central location is absolutely perfect, the private Glen Forsa is idyllic and so peaceful, with wildlife quite literally on your doorstep, being woken every morning by calling Curlew, Cuckoo and the gentle moo's of Highland Coo's is out of this world. We could not have enjoyed our week more and we found the central location of the cottage very useful. Thank you very much to our hosts Elizabeth & Hugh.
By Leanna, Graham and Claire stayed in May 2023
Brilliant Cottage in a stunning location with the added bonus of Elizabeth and Hugh as fantastic hosts.
The cottage is clean, warm and very comfortable.
Great secure garden for the dogs with some truly exceptional Mull wildlife
By Chris Snook stayed in April 2023
Just a short gravel track drive off the widest road on Mull! It’s not currently signposted to Glen Forsa Estate so use what3words: sedative.innovate.dairies to navigate. A peaceful and well-equipped cottage with several inquisitive heilin’ coos & calves, nesting starlings and chirpy chaffinch pair for company. LOVED the big notebook of guests’ birdie & beastie observations. An amazing place to base ourselves for a most restorative week - thank you too to our attentive hosts, Elizabeth & Hugh.
By Pete & Naomi stayed in April 2023
Kilbeg is comfortable, spacious, well equipped and a credit to the owners. An ideal location from which to explore the whole of the fabulous Isle of Mull.
By David & Gillian stayed in April 2023
Lovely, peaceful, clean, warm cottage. Great view of hills (and occasional deer & eagles) from fully fenced garden. Safe for dogs/small children. Excellent walks from door & beautiful highland cows all around! Perfect location for touring central & north Mull.
By Margaret stayed in March 2023
This stunning cottage was truly home from home, extremely well equipped spotlessly clean, toasty warm, off the beaten track set in beautiful landscape but only 3 minutes back to a main road. Seeing the coo's & red deer daily was wonderful. Salen is only 5 minutes away with a Spa & fuel station.
The owners of Kilbeg were truly wonderful kind & helpful. We were very sad to leave this little gem!
By Dawn & Bobby Lee stayed in January 2023
A wonderful break in a fabulous property. We saw white tailed eagles and red deer from the cottage itself as well as many other, smaller birds. We bought bird seed for the feeders to encourage them too. Kilbeg has the best equipped kitchen of any property I've ever stayed it! We wanted for nothing and Elizabeth is kindness itself.
The cottage is comfortable and welcoming. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
By Tracy stayed in September 2022
What a lovely cottage. Perfectly situated to explore the whole of Mull, although you don’t have to go far to see the amazing wildlife. We enjoyed bird watching from the cottage- plenty of small birds in the garden, curlews and lapwings on the hills and surrounding farmland, eagles overhead. The children enjoyed the garden. Comfy beds and everything we needed for a great holiday. Lovely walks from the cottage, be sure to go down to the river. I’m sure we will return.
By Laura stayed in May 2022
Well this holiday has been a long time coming due to Covid but well worth the weight!! a wonderful welcome! This place is a true wonder! Fabulous cottage with everything you need, Comfortable and spacious also very warm didn’t need to use the real fire. Elizabeth and Hugh the owners will make themselves known to you and they are wonderful people too. Around the cottage the wildlife is abundant we were so lucky to have two weeks of great weather and hope that we will be back again soon.

We had a very relaxing two weeks in this excellent cottage in a stunning location. Good walking from the doorstep especially along the river. Plenty of wildlife to be seen without leaving the cottage. Many thanks Elizabeth for the stay.
By david and susan fleet stayed in September 2021
Wow, what a cottage. Great location to really relax and enjoy the area. Plenty of great walks, stags, eagles and cows to keep you company.
Both our kids loved the garden to play in.
Owners could not be more helpful. Will book again for sure
By Ben and Siobhan stayed in August 2021
Such a beautiful Cottage and such a stunning location. One of the cleanest cottages we have stayed in where I felt I did'nt need to clean anything before I used it. It is equipped with everything you need. The glen is beautiful, we saw Sea eagles, buzzards, herons and there was also a Stag standing amongst the Highland Cows. This cottage is in such a peaceful place ideal to just chill out. The doggies loved the enclosed garden too. Oh my hubby saw bats flying around in the evening too. Hugh and Elizabeth popped along to check all was ok. Hope to return in the future.
By Emily Mackie stayed in July 2021
our second stay in this beautiful location. Absolutley loved it. Cottage clean and comfortable thanks to Elizabeth. Hugh came to see all was OK. Wildlife didn't let us down. Sea and golden eagles, buzzards, deer on hills and a stray stag next to the cottage. Bats flying round in the evening and the black cat was still visiting on an evening. We were very lucky with the weather, sunny all week. The dogs love the enclosed garden . Will certainly book again.
Thank you Elizabeth and Hugh.
By L Sallis stayed in September 2020
Immaculately clean cottage in a beautiful scenic location. Best holiday cottage we have ever stayed at. Would definitely recommend and will be returning. Ideal if you want to see some of the local wildlife highland cows, golden eagles, hen harriers, red deer and much more. Some amazing photos and memories to cherish forever.
By Joyce & Michael Preston stayed in August 2020
Lovely cottage and well equipped. Just hills, pine trees and highland cows for neighbours. Good walks round estate especially down by the river. Bumpy track to get to house but well worth it.
By Jennifer stayed in August 2020
Really lovely cottage in superb location. Clean and well appointed and, important at this time of year, nice a warm!! Owners really attentive. Booked again for next year whilst we were still there... says it all!!
By Phil & Jen Collier stayed in October 2019
Perfect in every way, so good we booked up again for 2 weeks next summer, mulls not bad either
By Philip& Jacqui ollif stayed in June 2019
We have stayed in self-catering cottages whenever we go on holiday for many years now and this cottage was one of the best. Lovely cosy atmosphere, very clean, well equipped, fantastic views and very helpful, friendly owners. Couldn't have asked for more.
By HELEN GLEN stayed in September 2018
Great place to stay beautiful scenery and lovely walks enjoyed every minute staying in glen Forsa surrounded by highland cows
By Tina selwyn stayed in August 2018
A beautiful cottage very clean with a very well equipped kitchen. Dining in the little conservatory while watching the highland cows and their calves wandering by the window after spotting white tailed eagles, golden eagles, otters etc. in the day was wonderful.
The cottage is ideally situated for a base camp close enough to local amenities but with a feeling of being away from all hustle and bustle of everyday life.
One of the best self catering properties we have stayed in.
By Andrew and Kim Powell stayed in July 2018
Stayed at Kilbeg 16th to 23rd June first time visiting Isle of Mull the cottage was in beautiful location very well equipped very clean ideal, location for visiting any part of Mull, I would recommend Kilbeg to anyone dream cottage to stay in will return any time to it credit to the owners Hugh and Elizabeth
By Michael Smith stayed in June 2018
We stayed here a few years ago. I used the cottage as a base for four weeks while writing 'Walking the Isle of Mull' guidebook. It was perfect for that. We were happy to come back, for the isolation as much as anything else, although anyone with a low-slung car might have problems on the approach road. That aside we were hoping for some starry skies, which we'd enjoyed previously. But it was not to be, alas. But that didn't detract from the pleasure of the place and the setting. We've used Isle of Mull Cottages previously, and would happily do so again, although I doubt we would return to Kilbeg...nothing wrong with it at all; it's just that there are other places that better suit what I have to do when I visit Mull...which is every year, sometimes more than once.
By Terry Marsh stayed in May 2018
Really enjoyed our stay 5th to 12th May 18. The cottage was excellent and in a beautiful location giving easy access to the rest of the island. Good location for walks with the dog and river walks. If you are into bird watching and wildlife, this is the place for you. If any faults were to be highlighted, it was not with teh cottage or the local farmer who we found exceptionally accommodating and friendly, it is with Mull itself, The bars and food outlets need to take a leaf out of The Lake District and Cornwall's books and be more accommodating for dogs, after all, they are part of the family and you cannot leave them in the cottage or car while you go for a meal, so the alternative is that we eat in and the businesses lose out.
'No midges'!
By David and Joyce Olive stayed in May 2018
Wow, what a fantastic cottage in the most idyllic setting. It was exactly as advertised and we felt very at home. It was so nice to have a fully enclosed garden for the dogs to enjoy. There is so much wildlife around the cottage, we spotted white tailed sea eagles, golden eagles, hen harriers and much more. The Isle of Mull is gorgeous and we definately found our 'little piece of heaven' at Kilbeg cottage.......we will return.
By Debbie Huckle stayed in April 2018
What a find! The cottage was amazing,a fantastic place to recharge your batteries.Kilbeg is set in Glen Forsa,which is beautiful,you feel as if you are miles from civilization but in fact a central place to easily visit all the island.Nothing was missing from the cottage,,very much home from home.
By Lesley tweddell stayed in September 2017
What a lovely cottage. It feels idyllic and remote and yet it's only 10 minutes to all the local amenities. All the small touches - every possible accessory we could want, flowers on the table - made it a home from home. You can get everywhere on the island from here, and you can walk out the front door to some fabulous walks. It's a great place to recharge your batteries in a home-from-home setting.
By Julie stayed in April 2017
Kilbeg was everything we hoped for and more. Beautiful, tranquil location with no near neighbours and a fully enclosed garden for our dog to run around in. Despite the rural location the cottage is centrally located so it's a great base from which to explore. The cottage is extremely well equipped with lots of thoughtful little additions. Reading the guest book, we can see that guests often return and we can see why. We think Kilbeg is a special place to spend time.
By Sian and Phil stayed in October 2016
Lovely week in Kilbeg cottage, superb location & very well equipped.
