to get started.

The staff and chef were fantastic and he experience was priceless

Julie, United Kingdom

It was an experience to be remembered. Staying in a refurbished 13th century castle 'exuded' much history. The dining was superb!

Joyce, United States of America

We were in Deluxe King Room. There was a nice bathtub in our bathroom. The staff made us feel welcome to explore the castle and its surroundings, although small but picturesque.

Djordje, United States of America

We loved the ambiance of Mingary and the staff were very welcoming. The food was fresh, local and wonderfully different and we enjoyed hearing about each course from the chefs. The views were spectacular.

Susan, United States of America

The position right on the coast, the views and the overall look of the structure.

Margaret, United Kingdom

The castle is located in a beautiful landscape, absolutely peaceful and quiet, with a breathtaking view. The interior is amazing, feels like sleeping in a museum. After a warm welcome, we enjoyed probably the best dinner we ever had. All together simply perfect!!!

Katharina, Germany

A unique experience to stay in a so impressive and significant place, rich in history! High level of comfort.

Pierre, France

This is a truly lovely experience. The castle has been renovated to such a high standard, the staff are very attentive and make your stay very special. The location is stunning across the Sound of Mull. It is remote, but that adds to the experience. We shall certainly be returning; maybe returning to book an exclusive stay for family for my 50!

Michelle, United Kingdom

What an amazing place! We were the only guests on our one night stay so felt very special. We particularly loved the four poster bed and the copper bath. The setting of the castle is very picturesque and feels quite isolated which we liked. We could imagine watching for ships from the ramparts! The staff were very attentive and helpful. Dinner was also a highlight of our trip and really stands out in our memory. As there is no choice you have to be open to the experience to fully enjoy it.

Beautiful setting, stunning seaview from our king suite. Luxurious accomodation. Excellent service. Breakfast was fantastic.

An Inside Look at Mingary Castle

Sitting proud, above the Sound of Mull from its own rocky outcrop, Mingary castle has more than one story to tell... The abandoned ruin of Mingary castle has been painstakingly renovated by a team of highly skilled craftsmen, who have made good the crumbling stonework, long lost roofs and floors buried deep in undergrowth, so once again Mingary can provide its guests with the finest of Highland hospitality. Being a small hotel we offer a unique experience to use Mingary like a 2nd home and have your very own castle for the night. We love food and Iain and Darren cook a fine dining style tasting menu using local produce. We prepare everything from scratch so we do require 24hrs notice for dinner reservations so we can make sure your dietary requirements are taken into consideration. We look forward to welcoming you soon......

The television didn't work and on a cold, wet, dark night, I would have expected the fireplace in the room to have been lit or offered to have been lit, for a better welcome, especially given the cost involved. Furnishings were lovely but not always practical eg no bedside table on one side of the bed. I had a bath but on draining the bathwater the sink in the kitchen below filled up and overflowed on to the floor. There was no warning that this may happen. The kitchenette had very sparse dishes etc and not even a complimentary packet of biscuits or anything to eat at all. The breakfast in the morning was disappointing to say the least. The bacon rolls were better at the community centre in the village!

What couldn't a person like?
Daniel and Liah were very welcoming and helpful during our stay. Our 11 course dinners were so special. We enjoyed meeting your chef Iain Nicholson and sous-chef Darren Ross. As my ancestors were at the castle approx. 1300-1600 we had the opportunity to experience the location above the Strait of Mull. It was an exciting time and excellent way to celebrate my 81st birthday.

The pseudo dégustations meal. Way too overpriced. it’s bit of a cheek separating out each individual ingredient and calling it a separate course! Having said that it was very tasty Breakfast was limited. Some fresh ripe fruits would have been good
