Bunessan Inn

24th March 2025:

We received a warm and friendly welcome. The room and ensuite bathroom were excellent, and had a great view of the sea. We enjoyed a well prepared, presented and served bar meal in the evening, and good Scottish breakfast in the morning.

We were staying only one night on our way to Iona, but the Community Garden is well worth a visit.

Would Recommend: Yes

Just the perfect place to stay, lovely rooms with a good hearty breakfast and an amazing view. Nothing was too much trouble and very convenient for our trip around Mull.

Would Recommend: Yes

This is an amazing little place to stay. The staff were incredible, the food was restaurant quality and the room was very comfortable. I can't thank you enough for looking after us so well

Ferry to Iona only a short drive away but then it's foot passengers only. The beaches around Uisken are worth a visit

Would Recommend: Yes

Very friendly staff and very comfortable room. Good location with nice views.

It is very difficult to get lunch anywhere nearby.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th September 2024:

Beautiful place, confortable rooms, great food and above all, fantastic staff and hospitality. We had a problem on our trip in Mull when the window of our van was smashed by a careless driver with a rack full of kayaks at the back. The owners of Bunessan Inn, Alison and Howard plus one of the very friendly locals, helped us to fix the window and the van as best we could to continue our trip the next day. Like I say, the people are absolute jewels !!!! I cannot recommend highly enough.

Would Recommend: Yes

Good friendly staff. Servicing of room a bit erratic, also poor provision of shelf & hanging space in room & bathroom. Furnishing a bit sparse. Also, good to have better lounge facility for residents, and separation of bar from dining area.

A great place to stay for easy access to Fionnphort & Iona. Wonderful small beaches & remote & quiet coves by the sea.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd September 2024:

Very well situated, the staff was very nice and caring. The food in the restaurant was very good!

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2024:

We had to leave early to catch the ferry back to Mull and wouldn't be able to have the breakfast we'd purchased with our room. The owner/manager put together a lovely take away bag for us with croissants, muffins and some other goodies to eat on the ferry.

if you need to catch a ferry back to Mull, this is a great location.

Would Recommend: Yes

17th September 2024:

I'd recommend you, though with some cautions. Our bed was lumpy, and it was a little noisy being above a pub (though what can you expect?) I would NOT recommend the restaurant for dinner, which is part of why we decided to stay there rather than a self-catering option. The food was very mediocre and the kitchen was out of a lot of ingredients, even though we were there fairly early. Several of our orders came out not as described on the menu. It was just a bummer all around.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th September 2024:

It’s lost in the middle of nowhere. The hotel isn’t very nice at the outside but the surrounding is beautiful. The room was clean and lovely and the staff were very nice I recommend 100%.

Book the hotel restaurant for the evening. There isn’t many options to choose but it’s delicious. The Scottish breakfast was absolutely delicious and homemade !

Would Recommend: Yes

Friendly, local, fun! Excellent food, great service, really enjoyed it in spite of the rain outside.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th August 2024:

Only marked you down on the facilities as there were little things missing in the room eg hairdryer (I could have asked tho'!), a few options not available on the menu for dinner and breakfast could have been better. The lady serving the latter was lovely, and explained that it was the chef's day off, but alternatives for people who don't want a full cooked breakfast would've been welcome.

When the weather's lovely make the most of the stunning walks in the area - I headed out to Ardtun and it was stunning!

Would Recommend: Yes

13th August 2024:

Alyson was very responsive to emails with questions about the facility and the surroundings! The breakfast, while good, was a bit awkward in process. I think there was new staff still "learning on the job" - but they were ALL very friendly and pleasant! and the food was indeed, quite good and cooked to order.

Very close to Fionnphort to catch the ferry to Iona. Also Close to some other restaurants, we had dinner 2 evening at the Kell Row,in Fionnphort, casual atmosphere but excellent quality food and service - recommended by Alyson.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th July 2024:

Cheery welcome. Large well appointed room with enormous ensuite . Only tiny quibble no bedside light on my side -rest of it fine.

Convenient short drive to Iona Ferry and Ninth Wave restaurant. Would avoid eating at the seafood shack at ferry , the seafood wasn’t well prepared and the chips were strange.

Would Recommend: Yes

Rooms were fine, dinner was good. Unfortunately no hummus for breakfast although it was on the menu for dinner. So no vegan options for breakfast. Disappointing...

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd July 2024:

Room was comfortable and meals were excellent. We were travelling around Mull by bus, and the bus stops are just a minute's walk away.

We went kayaking at Bendoran watersports, which is only 1.5 miles away from Bunessan - highly recommended!

Would Recommend: Yes

Very friendly staff, ready to go the extra mile. Food delicious. We would definitely recommend staying at this Inn and if we were coming over to Mull again in the future, we would ring this place first

A short drive to the ferry for Iona. Iona is beautiful and if you head left from the ferry, the road takes you to a spectacular beach. When the get off the ferry on the way back, take the first right, past the free car park, just continue along this road and another spectacular beach. We also drove along the B8035, where we saw otters and a little further on a Golden Eagle soaring overhead. We also took a boat trip yo Staffa where we saw puffins and also got to see inside Fingals Cave

Would Recommend: Yes

You should announce that you can‘t offer a full breakfast. For us it was okay, but some people may have a problem with that.

Trip to Staffa and Iona. Scenic Route to Salen to watch eagle.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th May 2024:

Friendly staff, Clean accommodation. Secure lock, plenty of space in the room. Breakfast was refilled during house keeping. Would highly recommend.

Bus to take you to Iona for the staffa trip, but overall would probably be better having a car to get around Mull. Plenty of parking available in the Inn. Would recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

6th May 2024:

It's noisy when the restaurant is open but nice and quiet once it closes around 11pm. Advised to put a sign at the door stating where the check-in is since I had to ask at the bar. Also advised that staff be available for check-out. I left just after 9 and the door to the restaurant was still locked so I just left my key in my room. Overall a good 1 night stay!
