Miss Hill, September 2020

Poppies cottage is an ideal base for seeing the beautiful isle of Mull.. the surrounding scenery is outstanding, along with the wildlife .The wood burner is excellent for giving some extra charm to the room once the evening draws in & also very welcome as we had some chilly evenings with the rain & strong winds. would recommend the Sea Eagle trips from Ulva ferry run by Mull Charters it was an experience never to be forgotten, the views of the Sea Eagles was spectacular along with the incredible scenery.

This was our third visit to these cottages so I think its safe to say we love it there !

Poppies is an extremely comfortable holiday cottage.. The owner, Donald, was very helpful in that we had an early ferry from Oban and he managed to get the cottage ready and us in before 5pm, as indicated by Sykes. A great utility area as you enter for drying off the dog and getting boots and coats hung up to dry (yes - beautiful Mull gets some rain). Great big kitchen area. The only two things we would say about the kitchen are: a) pots and pans are a little tired and in need of replacement and b) a microwave would be a bonus. Beautiful, relaxing living area with fabulous picture window. We did not require the log burner but I am sure it would be wonderful in colder weather. Super comfy bed and a great bathroom with a lovely large tub. Poppies is near Craignure and Salen with a little bit of a drive to Tobermory but it is ideal for exploring and driving to all parts of the magnificent island of Mull where you will find amazing walks. We will return no doubt.

Excellent place to end the day of discovering the Isle of Mull.. Spa bath and steam shower to relax those aching muscles after walking the hills with a beautiful view from lounge window to waters below. Don’t want to share this really, want to keep it to myself

Great cottage with lovely facilities which exceeded our expectations.. Highly recommend this cottage; amazing views, lovely sauna, steam shower and jacuzzi bath - just what you need after a day walking in the hills. Great location - only a few miles from the ferry at Craignure and Salen, which has a good grocery shop, restaurants and cafe.

Mrs Marsh, September 2019

August 2019

The cottage was very comfortable.. It had a magnifying mirror in the bath room which is very helpful and you don't find in the great majority of other rented accommodation. Nicely situated roughly in the middle of the island for ease of site seeing. Views from the cottage excellent. All in all a very nice cottage and location.

Only the hot water takes a while to come through especially in the kitchen.. Outstanding views!

Ms Hodgson, April 2019

The best we have stayed in! We have stopped on quite a few properties and one of our priorities is a secure garden for our terrier. This cottage was brilliant in every sense and the view was to die for!

We stayed at poppies as it was central to the area we wanted to explore.. Cottage was fantastic. The owner and his cleaning staff were helpful and lovely to speak to. It was a pleasure to return to the cottage after a day out due to the comfortable and cleanliness and the location over looking the sea

Mr Kidd

May 2018

Could only report faults via mobile phone and we don't have one.. Neither the hob, the shower nor the sauna would heat up. There was no remote control for the DVD player. There was no internet access. The two leather settees were filthy.

A stunning cottage set in a stunning location with stunning views..

Mrs Robinson

Poppies Cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable.. The views from all windows are amazing and the underfloor heating keeps everything snug and warm, the wood burner was a bonus but not needed as the cottage is plenty warm enough. The cottage has everything you need for a perfect break and is ideally situated for visiting all the beautiful sights on Mull.

Fantastic. The cottage felt like home with the luxuries of a hotel.. Very spacious and comfotrtable. Easy to find, great location and beautiful view.

Mrs Dale, February 2017

Good cottage with all the mod cons in a fantastic location overlooking the Sound of Mull.. Lovely and warm on arrival with underfloor heating so never needed to use the log burner. It does need a coat of paint but the owner did text me to say this is happening over winter, along with some new bedding.
