Julie and Patrick are excellent hosts and good company. Excellent breakfast choice and quality. All rooms are comfortable and except for one all en-suite Local information is provided when booking as there are limited food choices locally in the evenings

Location in Fionnophort on the tip of Mull is Ferry for iona. Booking essential at the village pub if you want an evening meal ( good but little expensive, like most things in Island location)

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely place. We had a beautiful view 🪟 for the landscape including grazing sheep. Do we to town Andy ferry to Iona. Very nice owner s.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2024:

Thank you, Patrick and Julia, for making us feel so welcomed and comfortable during our stay! The breakfast was delicious and the crescent rolls, jam, and butter you prepared for our early departure was very much appreciated.

We highly recommend booking a visit to Fingal’s Cave, ordering the Steak and Ale pie at The Keel Row, and visiting Ardalanish Weavers.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2024:

On my arrival around 7 pm I was given a very warm welcome and all necessary information was given plainly and fully. This room which had two single beds was perfect with a view of Iona and the surrounding countryside. This room had a beautiful modern bathroom with a bath and shower close by. Breakfast was extremely good. Great choice and beautifully cooked and presented. Very attentive hosts. The furnishings are of a very high quality and the whole house was fresh and immaculately clean. It was such a lovely experience as it was my first time travelling on my own.

I booked to eat each night at the Keel Row Restaurant which is easy walking distance from the guest house because I had no car to travel further away. The food was good and the service was excellent. The location is superb for visiting Iona as the ferry leaves from the bottom of the road and there are multiple crossings each day, even on Sundays you can travel there and back every hour or so and the crossing takes around 10 mins only.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very welcoming and freindly couple

I really enjoyed my stay. Julie and Patrick are excellent hosts. Breakfasts were great, even with a rainbow some mornings, my room.was warm and comfortable, as we had cold, wet and windy weather while I was there.

I had my dinners at The Keel Row, a restaurant just down the road. Remember to book in because it’s popular. The food is good and the menu has Scottish specialties.

8th September 2024:

Julie and Patrick have been wonderful hosts! Very helpful with small questions regarding the guesthouse and the surroundings. Very interested in ones activities and ready to share a bit of their own, but all in a very modest way. Very nice a-la-carte breakfast. My room, like the other rooms that I've been showed, was spacy, clean and well equipped. The breakfast room + adjacent sitting room have splendid vieuws onto Iona etc. . It is a easy going, comfortable place.

Depends a lot on your mobility. An easy tip: make the long circular walk past Loch Pottie. This starts at the guesthouse and can be completed via Fidden. Beautiful. More challenging: Try the walk or drive, via Fidden towards Knockvologan. That's where the road really ends. From that road end, two beautiful walks can be made. One to the hidden beach of Traigh Ghael (difficult / 2 hrs single way) and one to Erraid, starting by crossing the farmstead down to the impressive Knockvollogan beach. (easy to reach). Further on to the tidal crossing towards Erraid requires a bit of preparation and good walking skills.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th September 2024:

Very warm and friendly welcome. Thank you for taking us to bus terminal. a great help on our leaving.

The local bus service timetable is somewhat confusing and limited times available. There are no taxis available for normal daily use. Strongly advise checking all details on this issue. Ferry to Iona very good and this is a must visit and keeps very well to timetables which are frequent options throughout day. visited island of Staffa to see fingals cave. Lovely boat and service. We were very fortunate with the ideal weather conditions. We used the near by Keel Row pub for evening meals which was very good quality and service. .

Would Recommend: Yes

6th September 2024:

Julia the hostess was perfect & was very professional & friendly. Her husband cooked very good breakfasts & the accommodations was very clean & comfortable.I would definitely recommend staying here.

I would definitely recommend the trip to Iona & Staffa Island. Also the beach at Fiddick is a good base for swimming & relaxing. The Creel Bar & Keel Row Pub are good places to dine in. I would definitely go back again.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2024:

Immaculately clean and comfortable, superb location, friendly and helpful service.

Boat trips to Staffa were already fully booked by bus-tour parties - it might be worth booking Staffa trips in advance at peak tourist season.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2024:

Always a warm welcome, made to feel like you're home. Nothing is too much trouble!

There a few more eating options available in the last year, which means you're not tied to the local pub in Fionnphort. Port Nan Gael and Bunessan Inn are a short drive away, as well as Glenforsa Cafe & Farm Shop near Craignure, Hook'd in Tobermory and The Boathouse on Ulva. Would highly recommend Mull Charters to see the Sea Eagles up close and personal, Staffa Tours Wildlife Adventure, and Alternative Boat Hire (which runs from Fionnphort) - three very different trips, and all VERY enjoyable.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th August 2024:

Julie and Patrick have a wonderfull place to stay, confortable, clean, located in the small village with restaurant, ferry to Iona, all walking distances. Sense of details and attention to thei guests. Wonderful breakfast !

Would Recommend: Yes

15th August 2024:

Julie was a delightful and attentive host. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast menu had variety and the food was well prepared. Parking is conveniently on site. In all ways, this was the model B and B.

I used Caol-Ithe Guest House as my stay for day-trips to Iona and Staffa. It is a short walk from there to the Fionnphort ferry terminal for both islands.

Welcoming and friendly and obliging.

Iona is a must, not just the Abbey, but also the North End and the Bay at the Back of the Ocean. Fingal’s Cave with Staffa Tours is awesome. Fidden beach, the Creel Sandwich bar for sandwiches and fish and chips, the Keel Row pub and Restaurant, Ardalanish beach and the Ardalanish Woolen Mill.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th July 2024:

Would Recommend: Yes

20th July 2024:

Fantastic family Guest House in an excellent position on the Ross of Mull and particularly handy for the Ferry to Iona. The hosts and very friendly and have a wealth of knowledge about the local places to visit and eat. Rooms are spacious and very comfortable with an excellent ensuite. There was plenty of tea/coffee and hot chocolate along with milks and sugars with the home made shortbread and chocolates. Breakfast has a wide choice covering all tastes but the scrambled egg is out of this world. Julie is very creative and made a Teddy Bear in the colours we chose within a day. There are also two holiday cottage on site as well. Best Guest House we have ever visited.

The local pub/restaurant in Fionnaphort is closed on a Monday but we went to the Bunessan Inn which had a good range and quality of food on offer. Ardalanish Weavers are a good place to visit where you can see the making cloth from the local wool. They provide free tea/coffee and a range of local frozen meat but the fresh bridies are something else. Iona has many places to visit and will take more than one visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th July 2024:

Julie and Patrick are perfect hosts, friendly, and made us very welcome in their home. The room was clean and as described with homemade shortbread and chocs on arrival. Excellent breakfast each morning - good variety and high quality.

Walk round the circumference of Iona to see the incredible beaches - but need GPS watch to keep on track as tracks not well trodden and often through peaty bog - but well worth it for the beaches which are stunning. Walk up Ben More - challenging - but well worth it for the view at the top where you can see for miles over to Iona, Skye, Islay, Jura etc etc. Walking boots essential.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th July 2024:

Absolutely lovely B&B, couldn’t fault it! Friendly hosts, clean and comfy room, and a great breakfast. Good location for day trip to Iona.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2024:

Absolutely loved it - we felt like part of their family! Julie is full of all the info you'll need for the area and is a woman of many talents - check out her craft work for sale at the guest house and at the Columba Centre.

Keel Row is fine, if a bit limited menu-wise. The Creel carry out down at the ferry jetty is superb and they have a nice al Tesco area to eat when the weather is nice. Patrick is a proper chef, so your breakfast will be amazing every morning. Both Juir & Patrick are alway keen to engage with their guest to ensure they have an enjoyable stay. One quick tip, the island's sheep have free reign on the roads, so just be patient if they are 'just chilling' on the road or 'resting' against the entrance gate at Caol Ithe!

Would Recommend: Yes

15th July 2024:

Great to be able to park and walk to the ferry.

If you get beach weather you'll want the whole day on Iona.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th July 2024:

Everything was as perfect as it seemed online. Our host is the most thoughtful, gracious host. She provided us with all the information we needed and showed us around. The rooms are just perfect! The bed is comfortable, the bathroom, the Breakfastroom and the Garden are excellent, and the location is incredible. Julie had excellent restaurant recommendations and was of great host. The breakfast was very delicious and freshly made. They went way beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Thanks for a wonderful stay! We will be back.

Staffa Tours provide a memoriable wildlifetour to the Islands of Lunga (Puffins, Razorbills, Ouster Catchers and much more) and Staffa (Fingal‘s Cave) Do not miss to visit the Isle of Iona!

Would Recommend: Yes

10th July 2024:

We have visited Caol Ithe over a number of years and we have been delighted in every way with the beautiful and comfortable accommodation. The little details in the rooms such as a coffee machine, selection of teas, little chocolates and shortbread indicate the high level of customer service. Julie and Pat go out of their way to make everyone feel special and welcome especially with the delicious choices with the Breakfast Menu. We have been made so welcome with every visit we have had with Pat and Julie at Caol Ithe.

Every visitor should visit Iona, not just to visit the Abbey, but to walk to the North Beach, or up on the Machair and across the Isle. Taking a trip on the Staffa boat is incredible. Not only to see the wonderful Fingal's Cave, or the beautiful little Puffins, but there is the chance to see dolphins, Minke whales and basking sharks on the trip over to the Isle or the journey back. Visitors should also visit the Community Centre down the road from Caol Ithe to see the wonderful art and crafts for sale from skilled crafter people or artists living on Mull such as Julie .

Would Recommend: Yes

7th July 2024:

Really lovely stay, can't fault a thing, thanks very much Julie and Patrick!

Very helpful hosts who were warm and friendly to all aspects of our stay. Even went over and above to make you feel special!

Great jumping point for visiting Iona. Take advice of very friendly hosts who will make your stay extra special!

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd July 2024:

Very helpful and informative owners, and flexible to timings. Knew of sailing and bus timetables, plus best places to visit on Iona. Good breakfast. Lovely touch having a communal lounge with telescope across the sound.

Prebook all evening meals well before arrival. Options are *very* limited. Driving on Mull is along narrow single-track roads and takes much longer than SatNav suggests.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st July 2024:

Julie is exactly the right person to run a B&B - super friendly, super knowledgeable, full of suggestions and interested in you as a guest. She’s full of positivity and energy! Our room was very spacious with a huge bed and had everything you could possibly need including home baked biscuits and chocolates every day. Great choice of breakfast cooked by Patrick everyday - all delicious.

Perfect if you want to visit Iona and do the boat trips to the Treshnish Isles. There is only one place to eat in the village - Keel Row - be sure to book ahead - very good seafood and lovely staff. We also pre- ordered a seafood platter from the Creel Shack down by the Ferry Terminal and ate it back at Caol - Ithe. Lovely location as quiet with lovely beaches. Highly recommended!

Would Recommend: Yes

27th June 2024:

Julie and Patrick are gracious and friendly hosts who made my stay in Fionnphort extra special. Breakfasts are excellent. My original plan was to spend the day on the Isle of Iona, esp. to visit the Abbey. After seeing a flyer about the Staffa Tour, I said to Julie that I wish I had one more day. She said I could do both and immediately scheduled me for the morning Staffa tour, so that I could visit Iona in the afternoon. Thank you!

The Keel Row is outstanding for dinner and pub life. Isle of Staffa was incredible!

Would Recommend: Yes

Julie and Patrick are brilliant hosts and nothing is too much trouble for them. Plenty of choice for breakfast and the food is good The guest sitting room is a great place to chill out. The bedroom with en suite is a fine size with tea /coffee facilities. The chocolate and biscuits in the room is a bonus. This is the second time we have stayed there and Julie and Patrick’ s high standards were maintained.

Notwithstanding visiting Iona or the puffins there are some fantastic beaches in the area

Would Recommend: Yes

16th June 2024:

Excellent - would highly recommend. The importance is in the details which they do brilliantly.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th June 2024:

I highly recommend Caol-Ithe. From the first moment it was obvious this was a special place. The welcome by Julie and Patrick was warm and all relevant information was given with clarity. The dining and lounge areas were spacious and had beautiful views over the island and the decor had been tastefully chosen. Everything looked fresh and attractive The bedroom was spacious and comfortable with a lovely touch of home-baked shortbread. I had the private facilities which included a large bathtub. This guest house is on one level and I appreciated not having to take luggage up several flights of stairs. Also off road parking was a plus. The breakfast was generous, had multiple options and was delicious. Julie and Patrick have the highest standards and are obviously there to accommodate the needs of their guests. They are passionate about good hospitality and certainly carry through with a positive manner to ensure the best experience.

Mull is a beautiful island and a wonderful stepping stone to the Isle of Iona. Caol-Ithe is just a five minute walk to the ferry and Iona is well worth a trip or two. I also went on Staffa Trips tour. It was a great morning and the staff very helpful.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th June 2024:

I enjoyed everything about the Caol guest house. It is what B&B’s used to be like. It is so nice to actually meet and interact with the owners and the communal living room gave the opportunity to meet other guests. Breakfast was excellent. I hope to return one day and will definitely recommend you to friends.

Definitely visit Staffa!

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd June 2024:

Nice accommodation in an equally nice area. The hosts were friendly and welcoming; they made a nice breakfast, too.

If you're travelling by car from the other side of the island, give yourself plenty of time (at least 2 hours) to get here as the roads are single track and you have to consider the oncoming traffic. Despite Fionnphort's remote location, there is loads to do. Of course, it's ferry terminal can take you to islands of Iona and Staffa, which are highly recommended.

A very warm welcome on arrival plenty of car parking space Beautiful clean and comfortable rooms we had room 4 a very large room for 3 nights. Julie recommended a tour on Iona and Staffa. Patrick is an excellent chef and the breakfast menu is well presented with lots of choices in a dining room with fantastic views. Thank you to both of them.

We enjoyed an excellent boat tour of the Islands with Staffa tours they seemed to really enjoy the job and looked after everyone. It’s a busy area and you must BOOK the local pub for dinner which was very good. The Ferries were busy and I booked that in advance. It is a long single track road with passing places around the island so give yourself plenty of time once off the ferry.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st May 2024:

20th May 2024:

I can not recommend or praise Caol-Ithe Guest House highly enough! It was an incredible one night stay - we were sad to leave. At the end of the main road we felt tucked away from foot traffic and still right next to everything: perfect location. Our room was spotless, beyond cozy and comfortable, an absolute pleasure to spend our time in. Wonderful treats were left by our hosts and the fully equipped coffee and tea station in the room allowed us to enjoy the fabulous view from our room window with a hot bev before bed and in the morning. The bathroom was nicer than ours at home - luxurious water pressure and lovely shampoos and soaps! And the breakfast in the morning... absolutely incredible. We were blown away by the whole experience. Thank you so much Julie and Patrick for making our trip so special. We can't wait to visit again.

Keel Row pub is wonderful for dinner, and great for a pint outdoors in the sun The Creel Seafood sham is glorious for food as well! Ferry across to Iona is essential if staying for multiple nights!

Would Recommend: Yes

20th May 2024:

You really have a great b&b and you are 2 very nice and helpful hosts. A fantastic location for exploring Iona and the southern part of Mull. Definitely a place to return to on our next visit to Mull.

The Keel Row restaurant is good but you MUST have a booking. Visit Iona (of course) and for bird lovers book a tour to Lunga.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th May 2024:

Thank you for a wonderful stay! I felt so well looked after with a hearty breakfast and a very comfortable, cosy room. Julie is a truly warm, friendly host who also took the time to answer all my questions about her incredible craftwork, which I really enjoyed hearing about. That was the added bonus to a wonderful stay. I would most definitely stay there again.

Definitely book in advance if you wanna eat around Fionnport Loads to do, and Iona is just across the sea, easily accessible with the ferry that is very frequent. Only 15mins to get there and you can see it from the guest house. Going to Staffa couldn't be easier from here

Lovely B&B with very friendly hosts. Rooms are spacious and comfortable and there is a very nice lounge area to relax in. The location is excellent, walking distance to the habour for the ferry and the Staffa trips.

Hosts advised us well in advance to make a dinner reservation at the Keel Row, which is definitely required (it's the only restaurant in the area)

Wonderful accommodation within sight of Iona Abbey. The hosts are extremely attentive and take great care of every guest. The breakfast was plentiful and lovingly prepared. Everything is thoughtfully furnished and very clean. We would recommend anyone travelling to Iona to book a room there.

The village consists of just a few houses. There is a pub where you can also eat very well. However, you should book a table there in advance. This can easily be done online. There is also a small supermarket with a post office. There is a snack bar with a good selection of fish and chips and other seafood right by the ferry landing stage. On Iona we recommend the Rookery Café. The food was excellent and when the weather is nice you can sit in the idyllic garden.

Would Recommend: Yes

A lovely warm welcome, comfortable room and great food. A sound base for our pilgrimage to Iona - thank you.

Don't forget to book in advance for a meal at The Keel Row - community run pub & restaurant that is very popular. Also try the amazing fish & chips down at the port. Iona is just a ferry away - lovely white sands and turquoise sea at the north end and, of course, the peace and tranquillity of the Abbey. The 9am service is worth getting across for and the sunsets are awesome.

Julie and Patrick were two of the most hospitable hosts we've ever come across. The value for money provided by their service was outstanding - we couldn't believe it. The decor was immaculate and homely. Our room had bathrobes, chocolates, a coffee machine, waterfall shower...if that weren't enough we had access to a sitting area with the most gorgeous view, as well as books/games and a fridge for our own drinks etc. There are also gardens to sit in. The breakfast was delicious and the menu varied. Julie and Patrick also gave us lots of advice about what to do in the area. We would go back anytime 😊

There is a coastal walk leading to a bay with an incredible view of Iona at the opposite side of the guesthouse. It was a great way to start our day. Behind the guesthouse are more well directed walks which pass the local beach. The Keel Row pub and restaurant just down the road is a must. We had an excellent night with great service, lovely food, nice people and incredible live music. Regular boat tours to Staff and Iona.

Julie and Patrick are fabulous hosts and provide attention to detail in every aspect. These include home baked shortbread biscuits and truffles in your room and ensure you get the best out of your stay with local information and advice - if needed. Comfortable beds, hot showers and a good breakfast are the pre requisite for a good BB stay and we enjoyed all this and more. A great range of breakfast choices too.

Keel Row Pub/restaurant. Community run, friendly and welcoming. Cosy wood burner in the bar area that belts out a good heat which we appreciated after a blustery trip back from Staffa and Iona. ( Staffa Tours for Staffa and Fingals Cave). Really good meal at Keel Row too.

The Keel Row Pub and Restaurant ( the only one in town) was really good for the 2 evenings we ate there. Had some nice short but scenic walks near Fionnphort. Visited the Weavers near Bunnasan. And walked along a lovely beach slow their farm . We did get to Isle of Staffa the second morning and were able to explore the rocks and cave and headland. It was a scenic boat trip.

I particularly appreciated being able to spend 2 nights in another room at a most reasonable rate. It made all the difference for my friend and I to have a break from each other's snoring. We enjoyed chatting to you and admired Julie's wonderful crosswork and patchwork on display. It was good of you to allow us to stay in the accommodation after checkout time.

If you want fish and chips in the booth near the ferry, get down there early as at 5.00pm there were no fish and chips left. The Keel Row, although not a very exciting menu, served good, tasty food. There was live music in the pub on our second night, so if that appeals to you check with the pub if there will be music when you stay at Caol - Ithe. Visiting the Abbey on Iona is a must.

Would Recommend: Yes

Very friendly and dqown to earth couple. The accommodation was very clean, warm and comfortable. The breakfasts comprised of high quality ingredients and tasted superb, there was a wide selection and enough to satisfy the largest appetites.

A great place to unwind and relax with the added facility of a bright and comfortable reading lounge. A short walk from the Iona ferry and the local facilities and eateries.

This is one of the best B&B's we have stayed in, it’s a great location, the beds are very comfortable, the breakfast’s are perfectly cooked using quality ingredients. The additional extras in the rooms include bath robes, a great toiletries selection, delicious homemade shortbread & chocolates. Julie and Patrick were perfect hosts, friendly & helpful. Julie sells a selection of her lovely craft items and made my wife a bespoke sunglasses case which she is absolutely delighted with. I have no doubt that we will be returning!

We did enjoy so much the days in Caol Ithe Guesthouse. It was the best place in our tour of Scotland. A breakfast so fine, so fresh, with so much possibilitys. It was like coming home, wonderful!

There is ashop with Art and craft with wonderful selfmade things, and a nice pub and restaurant in the same street, with very good dinner: Keel Row Pub and Restaurant. If the way from Bavaria would not be so long, I would return soon to the Guest House and the pub. Sorry for my english and many greetings!

We loved our stay at Caol-Ithe. Lovely room, breakfast was great, with lots o choices. Julie and Patrick were super helpful,especially when thought I had lost my purse. Hope to return another time.

20th August 2023:

Very friendly, accommodating hosts. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Breakfast was the best ever and catered for all our needs. The best hosts we have encountered, thanks for a fabulous stay.

The food at the Creel shack was excellent for myself. Had the scampi one evening and the fishcake another. My friend had the lobster on the 2nd occasion but was disappointed, had to send it back as it was cold in the middle. Chips were scrumtious too. Trip to Iona recommended on a sunny day. The beaches, we visited I think all the sandy beaches, but by far the White Sands and Traigh an t-Suidh at the north side are absolutely stunning. You will need a full day to appreciate the whole island if you are a photo fanatic like we are. We went on the 9.55 ferry and returned just after 5pm. There are a few beaches on Mull we also visited, 2 enroute from Craignure to Fionnphort which again are stunning. Uisken and Ardalanish. Fidden and Knockvollogan are close to Caol-Ithe Guest House (our fab base) which again are worth a visit on a sunny day. On our way home, we visited the hide at Fishnish to see if we could spot the local wildlife but we weren't so lucky to see the otters or sea eagles on the day. All in all a fantastic 3 night stay on the Isle of Mull with fantastic hosts at our B&B Caol-Ithe Guest House.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th August 2023:

Julie and Patrick are very attentive hosts, nothing is too much trouble and they always have a ready smile. They have great knowledge of the area and are always on hand to help and advise.

There’s a few new places opened up for food: Foodie Shack: stone-baked pizzas (you have to pre-order and collect from Fidden Campsite) Pennygate Lodge at Craignure: does the most amazing Sunday lunch Port Nan Ghael at Pennyghael: didn’t get chance to try but always looked busy Lazy Cow: great for coffee and cake, but also does tasty looking meals for lunch

14th August 2023:

Fantastic stay and great hosts! Beautiful rooms, very good breakfast. Julie was also able to advise us on our itinerary and booked us a boat tour to Staffa. Caol - Ithe is perfect for a week-end away in a nice quiet location surrounded by nature. Highly recommend

Would Recommend: Yes

13th August 2023:

Absolutely loved our stay in Fionnphort in Patrick and Julie’s lovely home! Warm welcome, attentive service and thoughtfulness throughout our stay with lots of delightful touches in our room and in the home as a whole … homemade shortbread, delicious rich chocolates, REAL percolated coffee, etc. Julie & Patrick were also a mine of local information to help us plan our visit to the area. A BIG thank-you for everything. Yes, we will be recommending you!

Keel Row is good option and a few paces from the guest house. Reserve before visiting to make sure as it is busy with Iona tourists and passers-through. Simple menu, but with some unique and unusual items, like guinea fowl! Ferry to Iona and back easy access on foot. Do not plan for less than four hours over there, and more if you really want to see the whole island. Lodging is expensive over there and needs to be booked MONTHS ahead of time. Last minute is NOT going to work for there. Stay a while and take the Staffa Tour. Recommended to us by a friend, but needs five hours and we did not have enough time to do it. Can be choppy going out in the wee boat, so not a trip for the faint-hearted, but you get to see Fingal’s Cave and other things!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your review. However just one correction for the benefit of any future guests...the trip to Staffa actually takes just over 3 hours.

10th August 2023:

Patrick and Julie are lovely hosts! The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable with wonderful views. The private bathroom across the hall was superb. I loved having a bath to soak in. I had an accident out on Staffa and hurt my leg and Patrick and Julie couldn't have been more helpful picking me up from the boat so I wouldn't have to walk up hill back to the B&B. They were so kind. The breakfasts are superb as well and I will definitely stay again when back in the area.

Cool-Ithe is so convenient to walk down to the ferry and the Creel for takeaway seafood and also the Keel Row for a sit down dinner and drink. There are also many lovely walks down to different beaches as well. Definitely take the ferry over to Iona as well, it makes for a beautiful day wandering.

Would Recommend: Yes

Julie and Patrick made me feel very welcome. I mentioned before I arrived that I was vegan. I didn’t have to say again. Plant based spread was on the breakfast table and a full range of vegan food was offered at breakfast. Plentiful and delicious. My room was very clean and tasteful decor. I was even left a vegan snack biscuit in my room. Water was always hot. Would definitely recommend.

Isle of Iona is well worth a visit.

such a lovely, calming place! Handy to the boats for Iona and Staffa, but at the end of the village so a bit quieter. On a slight incline, with lovely views of Iona Abbey. The room as great, with chocolates and a coffee maker…and Julie and her husband lovely, warm and welcoming people. And the breakfast was great, too! Would definitely recommend to others.

Caol lthe is a great place to stay on Mull. The room was large, very comfortable with an excellent ensuite. Everything was kept very clean and fresh to a high standard. The cooked breakfast was delicious and very filling. I’d very much recommend the guest house. Julie was extremely friendly and helpful too.

Extremely good location for visiting Iona. We enjoyed visiting the Creel Row pub. We cycled down to Knockvologon beach which was spectacular.

Sehr gutes Frühstück nach Wahl. Herzliche Gastgeber. Schönes, großes Zimmer. Gute Lage zum Restaurant und zur Fähre nach Iona.

The Keel Rom Pub & Restaurants ist empfehlenswert. Vorherige Reservierung auch. Das Restaurant ist montags geschlossen. Die Bootstour nach Staffa mit Ausstieg in Iona sehr zu empfehlen bei gutem Wetter oder zumindest wenig Wind und Seegang.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd July 2023:

Lovely welcome, even though we were a little earlier than expected. Clean, comfortable and well appointed room. Good choice for breakfast, along with a lovely view over to Iona. Good suggestions for places to eat and visit.

Be sure to book into the local pub for an evening meal, although you may not want much for breakfast the following morning! Iona is well worth the visit. If you want to visit the abbey you can book tickets beforehand

Would Recommend: Yes

21st July 2023:

Julie and Patrick were perfect hosts, nothing was left to chance. The warm welcome and the delicious breakfast deserve more than 5 points.

A great base to explore Mull and Iona. There is a small convenience store in the village, for meals either reserve a table (well ahead) at the pub or enjoy the food at the seafood n’ chips shack by the ferry port.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th July 2023:

Caol Ithe is such a good place to stay. Julie and Patrick are so welcoming and helpful. They provide excellent facilities and delicious food in a very good location.

Keel Row has very good meals and is in walking distance. We can also recommend the fish chowder at the Creel food caravan by the Iona ferry terminal. The Inn at Pennygael (half an hour before Fionnphort) was also very good. We enjoyed our trip to Iona both for the historical significance of the island and for the walking and beaches. A boat trip with Turus Mara from Ulva Ferry to Staffa (Fingal's Cave) and Treshnish Isles (puffins) was also well worth the drive to get there. Driving the scenic route on our return in the early evening was very pretty. The short drive and walk down to the beach at Knockvologan at low tide was well worth it, but with boots or sturdy shoes.

Would Recommend: Yes

You need to make sure you book for food as there is only one restaurant open in the evening in Fionnphort.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd July 2023:

Julie and Patrick were wonderful hosts. The Caol house was perfect. The rooms were beautiful. We had all four rooms booked for a family vacation and each room was thoughtfully decorated and had everything we needed to feel comfortable. The breakfasts provided were delicious. We were made to feel like special guests. Our hosts gave us advice on trails to walk that were off the beaten path. The area is beautiful, and it’s a short walk to the ferry and then a short ride to Iona, where there are more beautiful beaches to be found. The stay was the highlight of our two week stay in Scotland. Out only regret is not booking more nights at the Caol-Ithe!

The ferry to Iona is just a few minutes away. Our family explored the less traveled parts of the island (on a suggestion from our hosts). The pebble beach on the far side of the island is breathtaking, and can be walked in roughly 30 minutes. I would consider it a must see. The short ferry to Iona runs every half hour or so. The Keel Row is a local pub/restaurant about two minutes away from the B&B. It has great food and service. You would be wise to make reservations ahead of time on their website do to the size of the kitchen. The last piece of advice would be to bring plenty of layers as the Scotish weather seems to change by the minute!

Would Recommend: Yes

1st July 2023:

Second stay at these premises. Very attentive hosts and helpful with tips for where to visit. Rooms immaculate and great breakfast.

29th June 2023:

Julie and Patrick are wonderful hosts. They went out of their way to help us with booking a boat trip and changing our ferry time. Allowed us to leave our car there after check out. Lovely treats in our room and fantastic breakfast. Best hosts ever!

Tips for other travelers. Make sure you book your evening meal ahead of time.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th June 2023:

Hosts were very accommodating and our stay was pleasant. Breakfast menu was quite varied and offered many options, including a 5:00 am take-away breakfast as we dashed off to meet our 6:40 ferry check-in. We had a wonderful time!

As you did for us, remind others of the importance of reserving a table at the Keel Row for meals other than breakfast!

Julie and Patrick were very hospitable and knowledgeable about the best ways to spend time exploring Mull, Staffa and Iona. The breakfasts were excellent and the property was spotlessly clean. Hopefully we’ll have the chance to revisit. Date of stay was June 2023

Will depend on your interests, but a wildlife day trip was a real success. Julie booked a boat trip to Staffa for us to see the puffins on day two. On the return journey, the skipper stopped off on Iona. Well worth exploring. Very good evening meal at Keel Row in Fionnphort. Five minutes walk away

Would Recommend: Yes

19th June 2023:

Would Recommend: Yes

14th June 2023:

The stay was a special treat:Extraordinary good, very tasty cooked breakfast, the ingredients obviously of selected quality for example the make and taste of the strawberry jam. There are only a few rooms, so you feel as if your in a hotel nearly just for yourself. They are very wonderfully kept. In the break- fastroom and lounge you look onto a magnificent landscape. Julie good infos where I might go for a longer or shorter walk. I myself appreciated living there in a thrilling scenery, very quiet surroundings although I was actually in a house an main road, it is a very small village with nowhere to go for ogher people, who don't live there. I liked especially the possibility of going to Iona whenever I liked to. I love my 6-nights-stay there,very refreshing with the superquiet nights with a sound sleep.

The Keel Row has a great cider, I liked very much. I somehow didn't manage to make a reservation for eating on time. Just a short walk on a paved way parallel to the street to Bunessan,made for the bikes, there's the bistro-cafe called The Lazy Cow with suberb lunch, cakes etc. A pity I only xame to know it at the last full day of my stay. A walk up the hillside I saw, when I looked out of my room, the front side of the house; it is a bit steep, you have to watch your step a bit, but the sights and the stillness are a very special overwelming experience. And, of course going to Iona, to the Abbey, the white beaches with their overwelming colours and views.

Would Recommend: Yes

We stayed at the bed and breakfast facilities and Julie and Patrick ( owners ) were absolutely brilliant , went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable and nothing was too much trouble . The breakfast and breakfast choice was excellent . The bedrooms are cleaned daily and a daily supply of cake/ biscuits and beverages are provided in the rooms. The rooms and guest’s sitting room are very comfortable and spectacular sunsets were seen from the cosy sitting room. Can not remember when we last had this type of service in a hotel or bed and breakfast facility

A very short walk to the ferry to Iona and for boat trips to see the puffins . Lovely secluded beaches a short drive away . The restaurants can be busy so booking a meal is advisable

Would Recommend: Yes

6th June 2023:

On our arrival at Caol-Ithe we were greeted by Patrick and taken to our room which was well equiped, warm and had a lovely view of the harbour and the Island of Iona. Pior to our arrival Patrick very kindly booked a boat trip to Staffa to see Fingal's cave and the Puffins. Breakfasts were all delcious and all the guest were very friendly. Sadly we did not see Julie on this visit as she was away for a few days but hopefully we will see her on another visit. Thank you both for a lovely time and well done to you both.

The Keel row restaurant in Fionnphort is very good with a cosy bar. The Ninth Wave restaurant is great but not cheap and you need to book. A trip to Iona is a must and also a boat trip to Staffa and Fingal's cave

I stayed at the Caol Ithe on the 27th and 30th April. Both Julie and Patrick were great at helping me into my room with my Rucsac. The room was so lovely I didnt want to disturb the way it was presented. There was a good supply of tea/coffee etc, i used the coffee maker too. I was in room 1 that had its own bathroom It also was lovely and I used the oval shaped circular bath to relax that night.. After a good sleep, the breakfast was excellent next morning, julie and Patrick really looked after me and im so grateful as I needed a rest from work etc I felt totally relaxed staying here and the sitting room next to the dining area was so nice to sit in. All in all it was a lovely place to stay and all I can say is thankyou to Julie and Patrick and hopefully see you again when I hopefully stay again in future.
