Cala Sith is a lovely place to stay. All the facilities are well maintained and clean. The owners are friendly and on hand to fix anything or show you how to work things if needed. The only request I’d make is for more mugs as I like to drink a lot of tea! Very quiet and relaxing spot. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Tips:

The food at the keel pub just down the road is excellent. The trip to lunga and Staffa is well worth doing. We saw baby puffins (pufflings) and dolphins.

Pat and Julie are both accommodating and welcoming.If there's any queries regarding cottage they are and will be able to assist since they are just few steps away. Cala -Sith is a very nice to stay while on holiday in the isle and its very clean, neat and tidy.The place itself is peaceful especially looking at the amazing nature that surrounds its place.

Tips:

Cafes, restaurants and wee shops are all accessible. Even the petrol station is just few minutes away if you're driving. Buses and ferrys too are always available with specific time tables. I would always recommend Cala -Sith to stay in this beautiful Isle - Isle of Mull. One of the best cottages we have been whenever we're on holiday. Definitely will come back.

Tips:

Perfect location for exploring the Ross of Mull and accessing Iona as well as trips to Staffa and Lunga. There are many beautiful walks directly from Cala Sith and during our one week stay we didn't use the car as there was so much to do in the immediate vicinity.

Lovely cottage with all the facilities one could wish for. Super nice friendly hosts on hand if needed (unlikely!). Quiet location away from the crowds

Tips:

Five minute walk from super local restaurant and pub and village shop/post office. Ten minute walk from ferry terminal from where frequent crossings all day to Iona and daily trips to Lunga (puffins galore) and to Staffa (Fingals cave) can be had. Local scenic walks are varied with stunning scenery and beautiful beaches. Good bus service to/from Craignure (ferry to/from Oban) for anyone without a car. Lots of wildlife in and out of the water. Being at one end of a large island trips to say Tobermory (the other end) can take two hours or more but the scenery all the way is stunning.

Perfect location for the Ross of Mull, Ffionphort is a quiet village and the ferry to Iona is a five-minute walk away. The local walks and beaches, plus Iona, have enough exploring for several days. Lots more great walking within an hour of the village. The cottage is lovely and clean, has a good bath, comfy beds, private parking etc. No issues whatsoever and would definitely stay again.

Tips:

Wildlife lovers - we saw eagles and a hen harrier from the gorgeous beach at Knockvologan. Eiders and a host of waders on the Iona beaches. The trip to Staffa from Ffionphort was great. Otters - keep trying if you don't see any at first! We found evidence of them at a nearby beach. We saw our first in Loch Scridain near Pennyghael. Lochbuie is lovely, and good for seals. Saw our second otter off the coast at Grass Point. Loch na Keal is stunning and great for eagles if you can stomach the long drive there.

Just fabulous!

Tips:

Just returned from our 4th visit to Mull and Iona and always stay in Fionnphort. Our last 3 visits have been with Julie and Patrick. For us Fionnphort is the best location as it is where you get the ferry to go across to Iona and where you can get picked up for boat trips to Staffa. It also has a great pub (The Keel Row) and you can also get great food from The Creel Seafood Bar and at the Lazy Cow Cafe and Farm shop (on the Kintra road). There is a fine dining restaurant at the Ninth Wave also. There are lots of great walks to Fidden and Knockvologan. For us, it has everything!

Tips:

Ferry to Iona and Staffa. Lovely drive to Calgary beach and Tobermory. Another pub and shop in Bunessan, and Ardalanish Weavers. Glorious Fidden beach. A good cafe just before Calgary beach. For a special meal, The Ninth Wave, Bruach Mhor, Fionnphort was superb.

Absolutely first class holiday cottage with everything one might need. Comfortable, clean with all Modern facilities and with excellent very friendly and helpful on site hosts. Good quiet location with access to local shop, restaurant/bar, seafood takeaway and ferry to Iona all within 10 minute walk. We simply cannot rate it highly enough

Tips:

The local restaurant/bar the Keelrow is under new management and is excellent. The Creel seafood takeaway also excellent. Iona is a short ferry trip and well worth exploring from end to end. There is an abundance of wildlife (local Hen Harriers) and incredible coastal scenery to be seen walking from the cottage. A car is useful for longer trips on Mull but we rarely used ours.

Tips:

Take a trip to Staffa/Fingal’s cave. We waited to book to the day before to ensure good weather . (This may not be always possible) Walk to the beautiful beaches on Iona. Don’t just go right but also to the beach past the golf course. If you fancy a bit longer walk on Iona carry on to Columba’s Bay and further along there is the old marble mine. Be aware that travel is slow on the single track roads so if you want to visit the other end of Mull you may prefer to do a 2 place stay.

Isle of Iona ferry just walk down the hill- £7.20 for a return for 2 adults and only 4 minute journey. You will not regret visiting here!

If you want a little bit of heaven, this is the place for you. This cottage has everything you need, it is thoughtfully equipped, and very comfy, plus you get a beautiful view and perfect peace and tranquillity. Well placed for easy trips across to Iona,( accompanied by the local dolphins) and with a beach at the end of the road, we had a fab week, just wished we had booked longer.

Tips:

The new path to Loch Pottie was a great find, we did it a couple of days and watched the local wildlife; Osprey diving in the loch... and enjoyed the spectacular scenery, and we didn't need to touch the car, just strolled out the front door.

It was very good value whilst providing everything needed to accommodate 2 couples comfortably.

Tips:

It is brilliant for a trip over to Iona and the local pub the Keel Row was good for food and drinks. Due to the single track roads on the island it does take a long time to get to other parts of the island however.

We stayed in cottage number one for two weeks, the cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything you could possibly need just like home from home. Julie and Patrick were helpful and always available should we need them. As we were staying during the covid pandemic it was reassuring to know that the cottage had been thoroughly cleaned and well ventilated prior to our stay.

Tips:

Our cottage was a five minute walk to where you can board a ferry for Iona, the sailing only took around 15 minutes and you were rewarded with a beautiful island with sandy beaches,and plenty of places to eat etc. This area of Mull has lots of areas for walkers ,cyclists , and lovers of water sports to enjoy.

We had a wonderful stay at Cala Sith. Located just at the edge of Fionnphort, the accommodation is perfectly situated for swimming and family days at the beach, and for time on Iona (with the ferry five mins walk away). The property is spotlessly clean, comfortable, and has everything you'll need for cooking regular meals.

Tips:

The Staffa Trips boat to visit Fingal's Cave and the puffin colony on Staffa was well worth the money - even though I was sceptical about spending so much on it.

Tips:

There are several lovely beaches in the Fionnphort area. There’s a small pub, cafe, shop and The Creel seafood shack at the port - all within easy walking distance. Iona is easily reached by regular ferry service where there are further beaches, craft shops, eateries and, of course, the abbey. Please bear in mind our visit was during Covid restrictions and some venues were not open.

One of the nicest holiday accommodations that we've ever stayed in. Quality fittings and immaculately maintained throughout. Lovely views from the lounge and a short walk to the harbour/Iona ferry and a quiet location make it the perfect choice in Fionnphort. Lovely helpful hosts too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Tips:

Due to the covid situation some things were closed during our visit but we can recommend the seafood shack near the harbour and a ferry trip to Iona. Tobermory is a nice day out with a drive to Calgary beach included. Don't be in a rush due to the nature of the single track roads and the spectacular views on the scenic route. Some other nice beaches local to Fionnphort too after a short drive. Big shop in Oban before you get the ferry.

We had a really lovely stay at Cala Sith. The cottage was pristine and everything really easy to get our head around. The location is incredible, and we appreciated being able to catch the Iona ferry on foot.

Tips:

Don't miss the amazing veggie at Kintra Croft Kitchen. Bread is easiest to come by at the ferry shop after 1pm. We love the Creel and the one time we visited the Ninth Waves left us incredible memories.The beaches on the Ross and Iona are amazing - Ardalanish and Knockvologan especially, also Fidden and Scoor, and on Iona, the Bay at the Back of the Ocean, Port Ban and North End. We saw an otter, seals and hen harriers. No eagles this year. We found doors and gates open at the Abbey (except the museum), though it's officially closed during Covid - an amazing surprise.

Tips:

Our trip to Staffa was wonderful - we missed the puffins but saw dolphins and seals, and Staffa is a beautiful place. Amazing beaches on Iona and a lovely evening stroll to Fidden. Very yummy meal at the Keel Row and great fish and chips by the quayside. I think it's worth knowing that the Spar on Iona is better stocked than the Ferry Shop (which has what you need most of the time).

Lovely hosts who welcomed us and showed us the self catering home. All mod cons available and very comfortable accommodation . Easy to find and good base for discovering Iona and lower Mull. Local amenities good and ate well out and cooked well in doors . Totally recommend staying here .

Tips:

Great way to Mull via Corran and Lochline ferries to Fishnich. Just queue up and pay on board. Good trip to Staffa with Staffs Tours and recommend booking online as very easy to do. If going to Tobermory and upper Mull suggest booking another venue to save long drive around the island. Calagy Bay was beautiful . Roads only have passing places so slower life style so good to chill out .

Tips:

Bring your hiking shoes and clean pants: the grounds can be quite muddy - especially if you're walking on unclear paths ;-) The Keel Row has good food and drinks and great service as well. Visit Staffa, Iona, climb Ben More if it's clear weather, walk to Erraid at low tide, etc: too much to see and too much to do!

A lovely holiday cottage in a great spot for us to visit Iona, we found everything very well cared for although the toilet flush probably needs replacing and we would have loved a larger bed. The people next door did not bother us as the house is well insulated. The hot water was plentiful, the tv a good reception, it was good to get internet in the main lounge when we needed it. We would and will definitely return at some point. We went frequently to the island and also visited ninth wave - excellent. Overall delightful.

Tips:

We got fresh fish to bring home and cook from the hut by the ferry. We thought Ninth Wave very good. We enjoyed the bakery at Bunnessan saw sea otters at Pennyghael felt we were best served by the 8:30 ferry as it was a much easier journey to Craignure We often lunched at St Columba on Iona - nice soup, also the Heritage cafe was very good. It would be useful to have details of Iona activities e.g. the pilgrim walk tuesday, eucharist on wednesday I know not all people will be interested but I think many will.

It's rather difficult to know where to start. The Ninth Wave restaurant is almost literally on your doorstep: it is an unmissable dining experience. We visited Staffa on a beautiful clear blue day - Magic! Iona was peaceful. A circuit of the Island to Tobermory was tremendous fun. We saw deer, harriers, puffins, herons> The next visit is already being planned.
