The Sea Shanty Reviews

We absolutely loved our week at the Sea Shanty. To be able to open the doors of the cabin, look out to the ever changing views, and just soak in the peace and stillness was magical. The walks right on the doorstep are great for the mind, body and soul and we loved spending time in the hot tub afterwards. Mull itself is breathtaking with every corner you turn, it really is a place to reset and remind yourself what’s important in life. Carla and Johnny are great hosts, just next door if you need them but leave you be if not.
The Sea Shanty has given us special memories to take home. Thank you.

What a lovely place, we loved everything about the Sea Shanty. Stayed for a week but would of liked to stay longer. One of the nicest and most relaxing holidays we've had. Thank you Carla and John and of course The Isle of Mull what a beautiful place.

The sea shanty is gorgeous it was clean & tidy & the extra little touches were very welcoming. The location is great for a 15 minute walk down to the local shop, pub, & Creel sea food bar, all of which are good for food. The local area is great for walks & the beaches are lovely & the hot tub fantastic afterwards. Carla & Johnny were both lovely too. We would happily stay again.

We really loved our stay at The Sea Shanty. The views are stunning and we loved having the hot tub, especially after being out all day, exploring the island.
The Sea Shanty is small but very comfortable and we loved all the little touches. Thank you so much for a lovely and relaxing stay

Warm welcome and treats from Carla to this lovely, cosy retreat, full of quirky touches. Glorious views across to Iona and fabulous stars at night. A welcome hot tub after a day of walking. Highlight was a lunch at Ninth Wave with fresh produce from Jonno's boat and the croft all beautifully cooked and presented by Carla. A very special place.

We had a wonderful stay in this perfectly located shanty. Beautiful views, warm and welcoming hosts, and a well stocked kitchen with some treats. It was a great location for us to go hiking and swimming all over Mull and it was a dream coming back to the hot tub after a full day of hiking and swimming. There are plenty of walks nearby and it was good to be able to walk to the village (10mins) to get the ferry to Iona island. There's a lovely sandy beach not far from the shanty that we had all to ourselves each time we went there. It was a very cosy stay.

Fantastic welcome from two wonderful warm and attentive hosts. Carla and Johnny were full of great ideas for what do on the island. The Sea Shanty was immaculate with stunning views from the lounge and hot tub. Their rewilded croft brings an abundance of birdlife to your doorstep. Make sure you book well in advance to try some of Carla;s cooking at their Ninth Wave Restaurant. We got lucky when someone else cancelled but we won't leave it to chance next time. Relaxed, refreshed and recharged.

Luxuriate! Luxuriate! Luxuriate! From arrival to departure prepare to be wowed by the beauty of the Sea Shanty with all it personal touches and quirks. Carla is a wonderful host who has anticipated your every need whether its sunglasses for the jacuzzi, fizz in the fridge, coffee or home made chocolates its all there for you to enjoy. And enjoy it we did in plenty.

Excellent luxury accommodation for two. If you are in need of some privacy to recharge your batteries, then you’ve come to the right place. Best if you have transport to explore the island. Hosts were very knowledgeable and gave good ideas for local places to visit. The hot tub was a lovely extra and the front of the property was big enough to spread my yoga mat on for some me time ???????. A real hideaway gem in the Isle of Mull. ??????

The Sea Shanty is a dreamy getaway perfect for those seeking sanctuary. The breath taking views from this beautifully designed cabin grab you as you approach the front door. Inside the carefully curated lounge space is straight out of a glossy magazine. Just right for relaxing after beachcombing. Everything is of the highest spec, from the waterfall shower, the sumptuously soft bedding, to the well stocked kitchen. The hot tub adds to the five star hotel experience. Thank you so much to lovely owners Carla and Johnny. A magical escape.
