We were made very welcome by Jo and Dave. Thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay in their lovely hotel. The breakfasts were great always served alingside a few jokes from Dave

Great location for walks, restaurants, trips

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2022:

A superb service. Nothing was too much trouble and everything was very friendly.

Nature Scotland is excellent for wildlife trips especially if a private tour is booked. Both CafeFish and the Galleon Bistro were excellent for food. Linas of Chris Hire was great. Tony of Tony's taxis was impossible to contact.

Would Recommend: Yes

The perfect little inn in the perfect little village. A bit of challenge to get there but well worth it.

We only booked two nights and wish we had scheduled more time.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd August 2022:

Dave and Jo were absolutely delightful hosts. We are so happy to have stayed with them in Tobermory. A perfect location for exploring Mull, delicious breakfasts, and cozy but tastefully decorated rooms with the most comfortable bed. Thank you and best of luck!!!

Would Recommend: Yes

Very friendly hosts.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st August 2022:

Jo and Dave were excellent hosts who clearly have the well-being of their guests as first priority. They are friendly, helpful with local information and good fun to be with. I can only give them the highest recommendation. For those not fit and without a car the location overlooking the harbour could be an issue. However, we enjoyed the walks up the steep paths, the reward being the stunning views of the harbour as you climbed to Bredalbane street.

We would recommend the Staffa Island wildlife tours and allocating a full day for the visit to Iona if travelling from Tobermory. We enjoyed excellent cuisine at The Galleon restaurant. If driving on the island be patient and aware that most of the roads are very narrow, requiring constant stopping to allow passing. There is an excellent 4km return walk to the lighthouse which you access via a path starting by the Kilchoan ferry terminal.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th August 2022:

Wonderful hosts who looked after us magnificently. Their friendly knowledge enabled us to fully enjoy our visit.

Seeing dolphins on our Staffa tour was a highlight. The Gallery restaurant is an understated gem.

David and Jo are fantastic hosts and make you feel welcome from the second you set foot inside their lovely home.

Lovely stay with fabulous hosts. Great breakfast made by master chef Jo and served by expert David. Would definitely come back, if there wouldn’t be a retirement ahead … Thank you and best regards, Anke, André, Fidel and Ché

The sole for dinner at Tobermory Hotel was outstanding…

Would Recommend: Yes

12th May 2022:

Warm welcome and happy to give lots of suggestions. Can't fault their approach to guests. Very tasteful rooms which included those little extra touches that most B&B don't think about.

Allow most of the day for a slow drive around the island and you will see stunning views and lots of wildlife.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th May 2022:

The warmest welcome ever! We slept so well that night! They had thought of everything to make your stay great. Thank you

Extremely friendly, superbly comfortable with breakfast to dream about. Wonderful.

Located in Tobermory on Isle of Mull which affords an infinite number of things to do - in particular sightseeing, boat trips, whale watching etc etc.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th September 2021:

Lovely small hotel with all the facilities you could need. Ideally situated in the very centre of Tobermory.

We particularly enjoyed the local walks both north and south of Tobermory. We would recommend dinner at the new Galleon Bistro.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2021:

Great hosts who were always very friendly and helpful. The delicious breakfasts put mine at home to shame - wonderfully fresh and very high quality! Our room was ultra comfortable and slippers, dressing gowns and toiletries were provided. We had a really memorable stay!

Tobermory has impressive restaurants and we loved all the ones we tried over 5 nights. Best were The Galleon and Mishnish. Great circular route to Calgary Bay with wonderful views and bay itself. A trip to Iona is not to be missed.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th September 2021:

An outstanding professionally run small hotel with a very personal touch.

If Jo is cooking and evening meal stay in - you won't regret it!

Would Recommend: Yes

5th September 2021:

This hotel is wonderful. The bed is big and comfortable. The room and bathroom are spotless. The bathroom has every accoutrement you would ever need. The dinner, which took 2 hours and was really 5 courses, was one of the best gourmet meals we have had in years. The owners are delightful. Give this place a 5 star rating!!

Calgary Bay, Iona and Iona Abbey, Staffa boat trip.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th August 2021:

Take the west road to Tobermory from the ferry, stunning

Would Recommend: Yes

27th August 2021:

Really enjoyed our stay. Outstanding service from start to finish, a lovely room, and wonderful food. The evening meal was the best food we ate all week, many compliments to the chef. We highly recommend Highland Cottage to others.

The best day of the week was the Staffa Tours trip to Treshnish Isles and Staffa, absolutely the highlight of our year! The Crater Loch walk three miles from Tobermory is well worth a visit for beautiful views. We also recommend Calgary Beach and Iona Abbey (pre-book tickets). Avoid Western Isles Hotel for dinner, it looks excellent on paper, but in reality the service is poor, and the food barely mediocre. Spice of Mull is worth a visit if you enjoy Indian food.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd August 2021:

Most welcoming,comfortable holiday establishment. Excellent service and superb breakfasts. Nothing seemed too much trouble for Jo and David. Would recommend Highland Corttage to any friend visiting Mull.

Aros Park, Glass Barn, Calgary bay and cafe and Glengorm castle and coffee shop well worth a visit. Iona and Boat trip to Staffa ( Fingals cave and puffins) very worthwhile. Wildlife outstanding especially golden eagles in Glen More, otters, white tailed sea eagles ( loch Frisa) whales and dolphins on boat trips.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th July 2021:

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay with you. The breakfasts and eveneing meal were fantatstic quality and very large portions! The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. We felt very welcome, and you were both such good hosts and extremely hospitable throughout our stay.

We definitiely recommend eating in the hotel at least one evening; a tour of the whsiky distillery and visisting the magnificent beaches and coastline.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th July 2021:

I think for many yuppie millennials they’ll take a look at the branding and the website and think it’s not for them. But then they’ll go there and realise how authentic and intentional the place is setup and quickly get into it. This was someone’s dream and it is beautiful. The hosts are lovely and the rooms are delightful, don’t think about it, just do it!

Take the trip to Staffa if you’re good on your feet, it was a highlight for us.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th July 2021:

The main plus of the accommodation was the food and refreshments. The evening meal was not only of the highest quality but the portions were very adequate. The choices for dinner and breakfast were outstanding - also excellent wine list. Jo is an super chef and David an entertaining front of house host.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th July 2021:

In a word, delightful.

Highly recommended to dine in Highland Cottage at least one evening. We did so on all 3 nights and were very glad to have done so.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd June 2021:

We had a very comfortable stay with you. The breakfast was excellent and the sandwiches much appreciated. Thanks for your hospitality.

Watch out for opening times of petroleum stations on sundays. Ulva is definitely worth a visit for the view from the cafe on a good day.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th June 2021:

We really enjoyed out brief stay and dinner and breakfast were excellent. Many thanks to Jo for helping us to book a tour on Iona - we were expected and had a very interesting tour. Hope we can come back and stay longer some time.

We weren't there long enough , and also driven indoors by bad weather - sorry

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2021:

Meals were delicious both breakfast and dinner. Great value for money. Very comfortable stay. Lovely shortbread. Great hosts even though David’s jokes were bad!

Eat with Dave and Jo at least one night. Better food Book tickets for Iona Abbey in advance to avoid disappointment.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th June 2021:

Just returned from 4 days staying here. A little gem ! Fantastic hosts, first class food, very comfortable room, quiet peaceful location. Definitely 5 stars. If we return to Mull the Highland Cottage would be our first choice !!

Evening meal at The Highland Cottage could not be beaten anywhere in Tobermory !!

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for your comments, we enjoyed having you with us. Good to reminisce about old times in Kirkcaldy. Dave and Jo.

29th May 2021:

We loved convivial atmosphere and the character of the building and furnishings. Enjoyed the banter anf jokes aimed in particular at our form of transport (ebikes)! David and Jo provide a fount of knowledge of Mull. We so enjoyed dinner in your restaurant.

Staffa Tours wild life boat trip including time on Staffa and Lunga a must. Unforgettable.

Would Recommend: Yes

Many thanks for taking the time to write. We enjoyed having you with us. Our ebikes are on order!!!

9th October 2020:

Five star hospitality

Would Recommend: Yes

25th September 2020:

Really quite the loveliest acoomodation, with charming hosts to match. Olde world charm with a four-poster bed, and our room, Staffa had great views towards the sea. The Scottish breakfasts were sensational! Lots of fresh locally-sourced ingredients cooked to perfection. Highest level of Covid19 measures in place.

Highland Cottage is set on the hill above Tobermory, and is a short, but steep walk down into the town. We ate at MacGochans in the evenings, with a good range of local seafood dishes. Open air balcony for eating with views of the harbour. We made two boat trips during our stay. One to Iona, and the other to Staffa to see Fingal's Cave. Enjoyed both but the Staffa trip was spectacular, with a stop-off allowing you to walk into the cave, and another landing on an area to view seals and their pups. All tourist activities seem to have the strictest Covid19 measures in place. If you have a car, it is also lovely to drive around the island and watch for nature. We spotted lots of sea eagles. Decent local maps available at the Book and Tackle shop in the town (worth a visit too!)

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2020:

Jo and Dave are very sociable proprietors and I thoroughly enjoyed my weeks stay with them.

I would recommend a trip to Iona and on another day take a boat trip to Fingals Cave on Staffa. I had a very good meal at the Western Isles Hotel and at the Mishnish hotel , the meal at the Tobermory Hotel was good but the service was very poor.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd September 2020:

Lovely couple who have been in hospitality for many years.

Situated at top of town, on steep hill, quite a climb back after evening out. We didn't eat evening meal at highland cottage but people said food was excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2020:

Lovely, cosy room with four poster bed. Every possible amenity provided from slippers to coffee machine to hi-tec alarm clock with USB, iPhone and iPad charging points! The food is outstanding. The evening menu is full of local produce along with a hand picked wine list that reflects David and Jo’s travels. Dinner is more like a private dinner party where guests chat and genuinely enjoy each other’s company. David and Jo are brilliant hosts who bring out the best in their visitors. So much more than a hotel/guesthouse, Highland Cottage is a unique accommodation experience I would thoroughly recommend.

Tobermory Distillery. Oliver the tour guide is so passionate about whisky. If you can guess his nationality you get a free dram! (Swiss)

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2020:

Very friendly owners and beautiful house. Thank you for the great sandwiches!

Would Recommend: Yes

9th September 2020:

Our second visit to Highland Cottage Hotel and we were not disappointed. We remembered from 7 years ago the friendly welcome, the very comfortable and well provided room and of course the exceptional cooking. Well, nothing had changed. We were delighted.

Any advice on what to do or where to go just ask David.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th September 2020:

David and Jo were very welcoming, very helpful and served fantastic food. Our room was excellent too.

Make sure to have the evening meal at least once during your stay.

Beautiful hotel with lovely hosts. Worth staying for the breakfast alone!

Superior in every way. Jo's cooking and David's running commentary are delightful. We had a memorable sojourn - ideal in every way.

Glengorm Preserve.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd September 2019:

David and Jo were lovely and helpful in every way. Our dinners were outstanding, and we enjoyed our stay very much.

Cafe Fish lived up to its reputation and clearly stood out among the dinners we had in town. For walkers, we would recommend the Treshnish Coast and Lochbuie, as well as a walk that took in Ardmore Point and the Glengorm Castle property.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2019:

Highland Cottage was the nicest hotel/inn during our two weeks in Scotland. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was excellent--the best coffee we had on our trip. We highly recommend this inn to other travelers.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd September 2019:

The hosts were wonderful (great sense of humor) and accommodating, even transporting our luggage to our pick up site so we could enjoy our morning in the town.

Unfortunately we were not in Tobemory long enough to provide any advice on this score. We could not disembark on our boat tour to Staffa because of the surf, which was unfortunate.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th August 2019:

After my partner and I came away from Loch Ba and Ben Moore after three days of hiking, smelling like a swamp and sweat, Highland Cottage was the perfect salve. Dave and Jo were more than kind and generous hosts, but also engaged with us on a personal level besides being customers. We wanted for nothing, and our stay was wonderfully comfortable. We will be recommending them to anyone and everyone looking to visit the Isle of Mull!

Would Recommend: Yes

25th August 2019:

This is the second time we stayed here. Jo’s food is to die for. Room sooooocomfie. Dave hilarious. Only criticism is maybe make starters smaller but truly the risotto waS so moreish, venison so tender, the two puddings I tried so Delian I might just drive the 8 hours back up to Ivan and jump on that ferry just to eat one more time.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th August 2019:

Dave and Jo are wonderful hosts. They were very helpful with making recommendations and bookings for activities and the breakfasts were excellent, especially the kippers.

Highly recommend dinner at Cafe Fish. The tour to Treshnish and Ulva Islands was excellent.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st July 2019:

Very nice cottage, easy to find and well situated (town centre easy to reach on foot, if walking is not a problem for you). The only thing I would suggest is to have one small towel per person, insrtead of one per room.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th July 2019:

The food and bedrooms were excellent. The service was superb and very friendly.

Visiting and walking at Glencorm is very good, and there is a nice café.A visit to Iona is a must.

David and Jo are wonderful hosts. We appreciate their warm welcome, wonderful accommodation, delicious food and travel tips. They have created a very special place.

14th July 2019:

Friendly and attentive hosts. Beautiful spacious room, with a full size bathroom. Breakfast cooked to order, good choice of fare. Quiet location away from the main street but only 5 minutes to walk down.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th July 2019:

Wonderful place to stay.

Restaurants filled up quickly. Make reservations early.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th June 2019:

Very comfortable accommodation with friendly hosts Dave and Jo. We would recommend the full Scottish (vegetarian) breakfast as well as a very special dining experience with unexpected touches which made for a memorable birthday. Thank you! Highland Cottage is within easy walking distance from everything in Tobermory (a few inclines - all worth it).

The drive to Fionnphort to catch the ferry to Iona makes for a long day but is more than worth it. A walk up to Glengorm castle made for spectacular views of the north coast. A drink in the conservatory at the Western Isles Hotel provided a wonderful view of Tobermory. The nearby cheese factory/diary at the Glass Barn is worth a visit too.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th June 2019:

A rare find. Husband and Wife working so well together to provide an excellent service. Well done to you both. And as for the humour !!!

Relax and talk to them both as if you have known them all your life

Would Recommend: Yes

16th June 2019:

Food heaven, and a haven in an island inevitably focused on the mass market. With personal attention from a welcoming arrival to every aspect of dining, whether in the evening or at the memorable breakfast, the experience is of the best Highland hospitality in a luxurious environment, with great attention to detail. Unquestionably, the premier hotel to stay in Mull.

And the only place to have dinner.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th June 2019:

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2019:

Dave and Jo are excellent hosts and looked after us exceedingly well. The food - what can I say about Jo's cooking - just superb - do try the evening meal but make sure you are really hungry first!!! Rooms are traditional and cosy and some have wonderful views. Super location and the hosts are just lovely

The hotel is set up quite high so you need to be able to walk down (and back!) a steep hill or drive down to Tobermory where there is free parking. Goto the tourist caravan on the car park for information for all trips.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th June 2019:

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our labrador was made very welcome. Excellent food fully deserving of your two AA rosettes and flexibility around the number of courses was much appreciated. Thanks for a great time.

The Tobermory Hotel was a good option for eating in the town - we enjoyed langoustines fresh from the boat, nice service and dog friendly.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th June 2019:

Spotlessly clean and superb food. Exactly what we were hoping for on our Scottish holiday. I was really grateful for the time and effort Jo put in to adapting the menus for my low carb requirements, and the lift back down to the bus station with our cases at the end was an added and unexpected loveliness. Thank you.

The short walk to the lighthouse and along the coast the other way to Aros park are well worth doing. The museum on the Main Street was really interesting - so much information in quite a small area. The Mishnish pub with its hand pulled beer was a favourite with my husband.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th June 2019:

Excellent hosts and great room/accommodations. Thanks for a great stay!

Would Recommend: Yes

19th May 2019:

Cheery service with a smile - really doesn’t get any better. The food is excellent - you should deny yourself tea & scones in the afternoon to fully appreciate it . The surprise appetisers are worth travelling for - enjoy.

Chill out at Cafe Fish on the front - you can still get tea & coffee n. cakes after 4 when all the other coffee shops shut - or a glass of something cold .

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd May 2019:

Our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is very comfortable; rooms are spacious and clean. The meals were tops. We were very happy to have stayed at Highland Cottage and look forward to our return.

Dave and Jo are very knowledgeable about what to see and do. We toured around a good part of the island by car, which I would strongly recommend. Take a boat trip to Lunga and Staffa. This is truly worthwhile. Walk along the waterside, and stop in for a tour at Tobermory distillery!

Would Recommend: Yes

26th April 2019:

Very warm and friendly. Excellent accommodation and fantastic food.

Plenty of walking near by. Tobermory is a very nice and clean place to stay.

26th April 2019:

We have stayed at the Highland Cottage many times and on each occasion we have received a very warm welcome. The whole experience is a testimony to Jo and David's attention to detail from the very comfortable room to the delicious food. They are a mine of information on all things connected with Mull . We always come away feeling that we've had a lovely stay and wanting to come back again.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th April 2019:

The Highland Cottage hosted our son's recent wedding. It really made the whole experience so special. Really excellent hosts, friendly and welcoming, nothing too much trouble.

Amazing stay at Highland Cottage for our wedding weekend! Jo and Dave were so hospitable, and allowed us to all feel totally at home.

Eat at the hotel!!

Would Recommend: Yes

Jo and Dave were more than accommodating and were more than willing to go the extra mile with information about the island and with inclement weather Dave turned his hand to a bit of taxi driving which was much appreciated.

Would Recommend: Yes

30th September 2018:

David and Jo proved to be extremely welcoming hosts. Our stay at Highland Cottage was enhanced its relaxed atmosphere, Jo’s delicious cooking and both David and Jo’s in-depth knowledge of Mull. In addition to their attention to detail, they were always ready to provide suggestions and directions to ensure we took full advantage of our stay. We also witnessed how attentive they were toward other guests, with David going so far as to provide transportation to a couple without a vehicle.

Ardalanish Weavers, An Tobar and the Tobermory Distillery are three musts.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

20th August 2018:

Our bed was comfortable but there were one or two lumps in the mattress; maybe it will need replacing soon? I loved Tobermory but only gave the location a 4 because the climb up to Breadalbane St was a bit daunting!

We had nice meals at the Galleon Grill and the pub on the quay (the name of which I have forgotten I'm afraid) but a pretty poor one at the Mishnish Hotel (Pete had belly pork which was ok but I had a risotto which bordered on the inedible) I loved the art and sculpture walk at Calgary and the boat trip to Staffa was pretty good too. The play by the Mull theatre was really good and made a really enjoyable evening's entertainment

15th August 2018:

Friendly and helpful Jo and David Food well prepared and delivered 4 nights too long a stay for Mull 2 to three seems usual

Do not underestimate the time it takes to cover distances in Mull. Most roads single track and many very windy and narrow, Many areas on the west coast are unsuitable for vans or caravans. If you wish to eat at Cafe Fish in Tobermory book well ahead .Suggest before you go to Mull

Would Recommend: Yes

Lovely hosts, nice & relaxed stay; particularly enjoyed the shortbread! Fridge access v helpful.

9th August 2018:

We enjoyed our stay at the Highland Cottage a lot. Thank you, Jo and Dave, for your hospitality, the funny jokes and the absolutely delicious dinner (it was the best food we tasted on our entire Scotland trip). The room we stayed in was beautiful too.

Definitely visit Calgary Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Isle of Mull. The town of Tobermory with its cute colourful houses is worth a visit as well as is beautifully located Duart Castle.

Would Recommend: Yes

This was our second stay here - albeit ten years ago - and Jo and David haven't changed! Once again they were excellent hosts, genial, welcoming,warm and interesting. The food was fantastic, beautifully presented and the portions generous. Our room was small-ish, but had everything we needed. We had a great time, it was lovely to be back, and we will come again - hopefully sooner rather than later! Thanks so much.

Do the Treshnish peninsula walk; the scenery there is stunning and the abandoned villages very atmospheric The MacDonald Hotel on the front in Tobermory is cheap and cheerful

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd June 2018:

A very enjoyable stay, David and Jo couldn’t have been better

Loved Mull eagle walk, Dervaig. Next time will do Staffa tour from Tobermory and Mull Charter to see sea eagles. Loved Cafe Fish . Wouldn’t go down the B road from Dervaig again, went to see the lovely waterfall, no passing places, unpleasant experience.

Highland Cottage, especially Jo and David have set the bar very high. It is impossible to stop comparing other places to it, with Highland Cottage coming out on top every time, from the room and bath to the delicious breakfast.

Stay at Highland Cottage!

Jo and David are cordial and delightful hosts, and Jo's cooking is phenomenally delicious. Only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer.

We missed Iona and that should have been our first priorty.

Lovely weekend on Mull. Highland Cottage hotel was a treat - David and Jo the owners were brilliant hosts and the cooked breakfast was superb. Our room was spotless and the hotel in general was full of nice homely touches. Very highly recommended.

Didn't try the hotel for dinner but by all accounts it is excellent. Isle of Iona is worth a day trip - it was sunny and very lovely when we were there - maybe on a rainy day it would be less so. Calgary bay and arts centre also very nice and a good cup of coffee at the centre. Local curry house was alright - standard fair as was the Mishnish bar meal we had. Mull is a very beautiful place just watch you don't over do the driving and miss the peace and quiet that it offers.

Small gem We stayed 2 nights at that hotel & enjoyed it thoroughly. The owners give you a feeling that they pay attention to the small details that make a big difference. The room is nicely decorated & comfortable. The view towards the bay is breathtaking. The sitting room is inviting with soft sofa & armchair all latest magazines available. We had dinner twice at the hotel. It was a pleasure to our taste buds & our host was gracious, knowledgeable & entertaining.

David and Jo were awesome hosts. David was so kind as to pick us up and drop us off at the bus stop as well as arrange a tour for us to Staffa. Jo is an awesome chef with wonderful breakfasts and a great gourmet dinner. They were both so pleasant and personable and a pleasure to visit with.

On Mull, Tobermory was great and visiting Calgary beach for a few hours was also beautiful. Off the island we truly enjoyed the trip to Staffa offered by Mara tours that Dave set up.

This was one of the best bed and breakfasts that I have ever visited. Dave and Jo are wonderful and inviting. We were traveling with a group and the sitting rooms were a great place for us to gather.

Jo is an incredible chef and I highly recommend having her prepare a dinner or two. Other sites include Fingall's Cave and the Abbey on Iona.

My husband and I felt like this B&B was a home away from home and David and Jo felt like family. Both took wonderful care of us, David has a great sense of humour and his ability to make his guests feel comfortable and at home is always a priority to him. Jo is busy in the kitchen and all I can say is wow! We can quite honestly say we have never had such wonderful food on any of our many holidays nor indeed at home. Although busy preparing and cooking breakfast, Jo still found time to pop out to see how our day was going. We had the pleasure of dining in on one night with four of our close friends and dinner was simply delicious, honestly one of the best meals we have ever had. We all said the same, outstanding. We very much hope to come back next year.

If you enjoy walking, take short drive to Glengorm Castle. Walking amongst the sheep and highland cows was a delight and we took some fabulous photos. The views were simply breathtaking. Calgary beach was another highlight. Beautiful. We had pasta and pizza at The Mishnish and would recommend it. Fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked pasta. Pizza was a lovely thin crust with the perfect amount of toppings. Definitely worth stopping in for an enjoyable inexpensive meal with a good selection of beer and wine. My husband did the Distillery tour and raved about it. The tour guide had a great sense of humour as well as being knowledgeable about the history and art of Scotch making.

This small hotel offers a very good standard of accommodation, with little touches you would only expect in a 5 star hotel, such as bathrobes, slippers etc. The hosts David and Jo are absolutely brilliant and made us feel very welcome. David acts as the waiter whilst Jo is the chef and both are extremely good at there jobs. Whilst we didn't ave dinner during our stay (we were there over a weekend and dining room is closed on a Sunday) we did have the breakfast which had an extensive choice and was cooked to order by Jo and was absolutely perfect, which on reflection made us regret not having dinner on Saturday evening) David is an extremely genial and entertaining host, with a brilliant sense of dry humour. We would thoroughly recommend the Highland to anyone contemplating a visit to Tobermory.

There is a variety of restaurants in Tobermory all offering a good standard of good food, we decided to visit Iona as it was on our bucket list and it did not disappoint.

Would Recommend: Yes

The rooms were great but the food was even better. Dave and Jo are wonderful hosts and go above and beyond to make their guests comfortable. When we go back to Mull, this is the only place we will stay.

Go to Duart Castle and the Tobermory distillery.

We had a fantastic time at the Highland Cottage. Everything was so nice from the cottage per se to the food that was excellent. Jo and Dave are really very nice and so helpful! We have really enjoyed our stay. If possible try to book a room with the view that is outstanding.

We lacked for nothing during our stay at Highland Cottage - it was a home away from home. The rooms were lovely and well equipped and the welcome shortbread was delicious.

We hired the services of Alan Robson for the day which made getting around the Island a breeze.

Proprietors are very kind and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious. Nice sitting room and honor bar. Room was clean and comfortable. Feels a bit like staying at Grandma's house because of decor. Inn is up a steep hill from town. Quick walk to town, but difficult for people with low mobility. Overall great place, would recommend it to others.

We had a marvelous stay at Highland Cottage! The room was picture-perfect and thoughtfully appointed. No detail was overlooked. The meals were delicious and beautifully presented. Jo and David, you were such wonderful hosts! We so look forward to staying with you again in the future! Warmest regards, Leslie and Steve

We had a great experience taking a Staffa Tours boat to to Staffa and the Treshnish Isles. A well-run operation! Staffa was amazing enough, but getting up close to the puffins on Lunga was incredible!

David and Jo are very welcoming and sociable. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The meals were delicious, and beautifully presented. The breakfast kippers were particularly good.

We were a little concerned that there was only on-street parking but this was not a problem. Highland Cottage was very convenient for the local High School which was one of the venues we were visiting.It is not on the 'front' but it is within walking distance although in an elevated position. We drove and often parked at the Distillery which is convenient for town and for the pub, Macgochans.

This was a delightful cottage hotel with only 6 rooms. It was very homely and comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Our room while quite small still had enough space to store all our gear and the bed was really comfortable so we slept well here. If you opt to eat at the hotel be prepared for a major, multi-course meal full of gourmet flavours and excellently cooked by Jo. We ran out of space and didn't make it to dessert! We found Jo and David to be excellent hosts with plenty of conversation and happy banter although David's dry wit might not suit all, we had great fun with it! This was a great spot to stay while exploring the island and we would definitely stay there again

Tobermory has a range of places to eat and we'd recommend Cafe Fish (very nice and make sure you book), The Galleon Grill and Mishnish in particular all on Main Street and walking distance from the hotel with a bit of a hill though. If you're happy to travel a bit, the Am Birlinn restaurant just beyond Dervaig on the north end towards Calgary is outstanding. Mull Eagle Watch was well worth it - the Dervaig site is closer to the hide so we got a good view of both adults and chicks on the nest A visit to Calgary Beach was lovely and on the south side Duart Castle was very interesting and scenic. There are lots of places to stop off and take a walk and we were lucky enough to see Golden Eagles, White Tailed Eagles and Peregrin falcons as well as numerous sea birds and an astonishing number of herons! We managed a quick view of otters but you really have to creep up on them as they hear you coming and swim away!

We found the accommodation very comfortable. We were made most welcome and received excellent service throughout our stay. The was beautifully prepared, delicious and the wines of good quality.

We enjoyed our boat trip to Staffa and Treshnish Islands. We also enjoyed our day trip to Iona. All of our food was prepared by Highland Cottage and we have no regrets!

We had a wonderful stay on Mull which was enhanced by the welcome and hospitality shown us by Dave and Jo at Highland Cottage. The hotel is extremely comfortable and the bedroom was well equipped and last, but by no means least, was Jo's excellent cooking. Dinners were fantastic and Jo's risottos were a delight.

The island itself is beautiful. In Spring the colours of the flowers etc. are magnificent. If you are a golfer or just keen on a walk with spectacular views have a game at Tobermory's 9 hole course. But be warned it is pretty hilly.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th June 2017:

David and Jo gave us warm welcome on our arrival and are very helpful. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay.

Very easy to find Highland Cottage - it's opposite the fire station. Plenty of nice restaurants around Main Street. If you want a nice trail to walk then you will find it past the aquarium near the harbour - there are few spots where you can take a nice photo of the colourful Tobermory buildings.

Would Recommend: Yes

The meal we had at the Highland cottage for dinner was probably the best that we had during our 8 day tour of Scotland and that includes 2 Michelin restaurants. The staff was extremely friendly and very hospitable.

Some of the best local artisans have shops overlooking the bay. Short drive up to Glengorm Castle and beautiful views of the Northern coast and a set of Standing stones

Would Recommend: Yes

A very warm welcome and superb hospitality throughout our stay made us feel very comfortable at Highland Cottage. An excellent breakfast set us up for the day and we have to give a special mention to Jo's melt-in-the -mouth shortbread.

Enjoy the sculpture walk at Calgary Beach.
