Mull & Tobermory Restaurant & Activity Reviews
“My husband is a fan of single malts
so we're gradually working our
way around distilleries in Scotland, and he really enjoyed the whisky, particularly the Ledaig.”
“Wildlife seen - a Sea Eagle, otter,
Golden Eagle, short-eared owls
and even a stray osprey - but the highlight was five dolphins that swam into the Bay and gave us all a display -
priceless!”
“Recommended activities:
Circular walk to lighthouse – great. Used
info from book. Loved Aros Park – walked to far end of woodland track and had our picnic. Salen – walked on forest
track above the loch and then to castle. Saw seals basking but no otters. Enjoyed Glengorm Castle and walks around
here. Lovely tearoom. Really loved the Cheese Farm. Well worth a visit and food in the cafe super. Piglets and
calves were a delight too. Drove to Dervaig, stopping at eagle hide above Loch Tor and also at the settlement
about 3 miles east of Calgary. Tearoom and gallery good in Calgary, so too all the wood sculptures.”
“Superb meals to be had at the Mishnish,
but we gave Cafe Fish a miss
as they only want cash (Cafe Cash?).”
“We ate at Mishmash, and MacGochans twice
and the food and ambience
were amazing. We tried the Indian and Chinese takeaways after some long walks, both excellent, however the best
food we had was from the Tobermory Bakery which was excellent, great and far too tempting cakes, and fab
sandwiches/bread for lunches when walking. We spent too much at the Chocolate Shop, again excellent produce, and
to be honest there were so many other great places to relieve yourself of cash, though great local crafts and
produce. We spent a great day walking on Iona, on a low key slightly rainy day we walked the Aros Park route from
Tobermory and we were lucky enough to see otters in the bay. We saw seals at Calgary, again another chance
excursion on a rainy day, and we saw some eagles on a walk just up behind Tobermory, all in all very lucky in
terms of spotting wildlife.”
Tobermory Holiday House Reviews from Back Brae Lodge Guests
“Had an amazing stay here.
So surprised by the amount of space! Lots
of lovely added extras which made our stay even more enjoyable. Thank you!”
“This place is fab!
It's so spacious and lovely, the bed is really
comfy, the open-plan living dining room area is great and we love how central it is. My husband was pretty
impressed with the wifi speed! We may well find ourselves back here at some point if you're ever not booked in the
summer!”
“Lovely accommodation,
well-located and well-equipped.”
“Had a great stay.
Everything was in order and the entire house gave
us a very homely feeling. A great experience – thanks a lot!”
“Lovely cottage
which we really liked.”
“Fantastic stay.
Lodge was equipped with everything you could ask and
more! Thank you.”
“Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The lodge was brilliant and we both
agreed that next time we are back on Mull we will definitely book again. Can't really think of any negatives or
ways to improve the place as you seem to have thought of everything!”
“Spotlessly clean,
comfy and warm, everything you need - thanks!”
“We had a great stay.
The house is brilliantly equipped and appointed.
Cleanliness was first class.”
“A really comfortable, well-equipped cottage.
It was great not to have
to worry about dishwasher tablets and washing stuff for a change. Loved it so much we've already booked for next
year - see you then.”
“House very comfortable
and well equipped.”
“We’ve had a lovely holiday.
Thank you for letting us use Back Brae
Lodge as our holiday 'home' because that is what it felt like. We received a warm welcome from the lady preparing
the house for our stay, and she gave us lots of local guidance – places to visit, things to see etc. Everything
has been thought through in this Lodge – creating a pleasurable holiday experience.”
“Thank you, everything was lovely
- we really enjoyed it, ideal
location. Very clean and well equipped. Loved having the cafetiere.”
“Great place
in the centre of town! Thanks again.”
“We’ve loved our stay here.
Very well organised, catered for, and
lovely and clean - and just lovely! We would love to come back next year, if you'll let us. It was nice to spend
more time in Tobermory as we usually only manage 3 hours at a time as part of a day excursion from Eilean Shona.
We'll be in touch regarding a booking for next year. Thank you so much - it's been lovely again!”
“Nice cottage
- all you need for a relaxing stay.”
“We loved staying at Back Brae Lodge again
and can't think of anything
that could be improved. It really is a great little place and spot. We'll be back if you'll have us...”
“Have had lovely few days here,
just about to leave. Wish we could
stay longer... Just to say would happily return. Lodge very well equipped, clean and tidy.”
“Thank you for a lovely stay in very comfortable place.
We had a
wonderful few days here. A perfect place for a few days of real holiday - thank you.”
“The accommodation has been great.
Comfortable and clean. Hope to
return.”
“Thank you for an amazing stay
on this fantastic island!”
“We had a good holiday.
The house is in a great location and very
practical. It has everything needed for self catering and the small additions like dishwasher tablets take away
the hassle. The upstairs space is amazing - when are you having the next party?! It is very comfortable with loads
of good books and maps, also DVDs for the occasional rainy days. On those wet days the entrance lobby is perfect
with the tiled floor and plenty of hooks and space for drying the gear. We hope to be back soon.”
“Very well equipped.
Thanks for the welcome pack, nice touch! We
enjoyed our stay.”
“This is our second visit to Back Brae Lodge
... which we really love.
Beautifully designed and appointed. Thanks for a lovely stay!”
“Just to thank you for the excellent accommodation
at Back Brae Lodge.
It was perfect for us and the welcome pack was a particularly nice touch! It was great that the weather was so
much better than forecast - sun all three days.”
“Clean and bright,
well-equipped kitchen. Had a great stay, thank
you.”
“We had a great time on Mull,
the weather was fantastic, blue skies
every day and not a midgie to be seen! I'm afraid I can't suggest any improvements for future guests to Back Brae
Lodge, everything was clean and accessible. We will definitely stay at Back Brae Lodge next time we visit
Mull.”
“We have had a lovely time here in Tobermory,
having not been in Mull
for almost 20 years. Back Brae Lodge has been a perfect base to go out and about the island and provides a welcome
which is warm and cosy when you return. We liked the comfort of a king size bed and having a dishwasher etc which
felt home from home. Hope to return soon and will pass on details to all our Scots-loving friends and relatives to
stay here at Back Brae Lodge. Many thanks.”
“I would just like to say a huge thank you
for providing such a super
wee house in the middle of Tobermory. We were road cycling for the three days so it was a perfect base and we will
definitely try to come back at some time, also recommend to others. All perfectly clean and very comfortably
provided.”
“Everything was great.
The house is lovely and appliances are easy to
use. Where the house is situated couldn’t be better for getting out and about. Bed was clean and comfy, towels
were clean and fluffy. Kitchen was really nice as was the living room, sofas were comfortable. Loads of cutlery
and crockery and ample pots and pans. All in all we had a great time and would recommend Back Brae Lodge to
everyone. I hope that it won’t be too long until we next visit Mull and hopefully we can stay in Back Brae Lodge.”
“Beautiful place, highly organised and well presented.
We could see
lots of thought went into this. So thanks very much, we've had a great weekend. And please thank Mary, who left
the house so clean for our arrival! Thanks for the welcome pack too.”
“Thank you so much for the welcome goodies.
We had an excellent stay.”
“We had an amazing stay
and the house was very clean and comfortable.
It was warm and cosy... there was enough of everything, and we found the kitchen well stocked with necessary
utensils, though we did take advantage of the great places to eat on Main Street! There are nothing but great
things to say about Mull and Back Brae Lodge, and I think we will be back at some point in the future.”
“Terrific cottage in a beautiful town.
We'll be back!”
“The house was really good and better than we expected.
The
dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, oven, fridge, freezer, tea and coffee along with various other things were
all appreciated. We've been to Mull once before so had a rough idea where Back Brae Lodge was but we didn't know
quite how close and convenient it was to everything. It was very nice being able to walk to the Co-op or going to
the Indian and it taking a couple of minutes, if that. The amount of detail that went into in the welcome book and
with all the things on the noticeboard were also appreciated and came in handy. We had a look at the menus and
used one for the Indian and we picked one of the walking routes out of the book for a walk to Croggan. With us
deciding to go to Mull in January, most things seemed to be closed and so we spent a lot of time in the house and
so it was really nice being somewhere we liked. We had a really nice time and will more than likely be booking it
again.”
“Overall the stay was great.
House was warm and everything was as
expected.”
