This is one of the coolest places to stay - Jess and Collin are super nice and treated us like their best friends! The food is incredible even for vegetarians incredibly tasty. The landscape is just breathtaking.

Peter Switzerland

If you are looking for something a little bit different, then consider this as a location for a few nights. The restaurant is fine dining without being pretentious. The staff are warm, wonderful and welcoming. Sat in a stunning location, away from the crowds. Loved it.

Steven United Kingdom

Food was to die for! Serenity needed and obtained.

Katharine United States of America

wonderful personal touch experience and gorgeous views. lovingly restored castle on the sound of Mull

Anne United States of America

Beautiful property in a wild remote part of Scotland. The chef is a talent who was more than accommodating. The breakfast was sublime. Bedrooms and bathrooms extraordinary. This was a memorable experience!

Suzanne United States of America

It is very remote but once you arrive you will not want to leave. We had our own tower and the views were breathtaking. We had the option of eating at the castle. The Chef introduced each course and paired it with a wine. The setting is gorgeous. We were not guests, we were treated like Royalty. But it was expensive.

Diana United States of America

Jess and Johnny were extremely welcoming, we had short stay but well worth the drive and effort. Simply beautiful, tranquil and very special place. I'm happy someone invested time and energy in restoring this beautiful piece of history.

Antoinette Switzerland

it was simply beautiful, the location was great, the facilities were remarkable , the food was 5 star and the host was out of this world . they made us feel like royalties. 😃, thank you so much. could not fault anything.

Navpreet United Kingdom

The castle, located on the edge of the shoreline is spectacular, so it was a delight to find our room so lovely and warm. We were welcomed by Jess and felt looked after for the entire time we spent at the castle, especially the pot of tea in the morning and scrabble board in the drawing room. The set menu evening meal was a delight and surpassed our expectations. Each course explained to us by Johnny tthe waiter Hamish, the 'little guard dog' gave us a suitably typically noisy but enthusiastic welcome.

Andrew United Kingdom

No TV in the room though honestly it was a blessing and not missed.
