Fantastic cottage.. Friendly owners. Excellent location for exploring Mull.

To say this cottage surpassed expectations would be wildly understating the fact! This was less like a holiday cottage but more like a luxury small home, in fact in terms of amenities there is more in this cottage than I have at my home! Not to mention the views which are beyond amazing, we were even lucky enough to have an eagle (could have been a buzzard, but given the size I am thinking Golden Eagle) swing by for a close view. The views themselves would be enough to sell this place, but the comfort and facilities are second to none. Cozying up in the evening with the dog in front of the fire and a movie on looking out the picture window was spectacular. As an aside, any communication I had with the owner was fantastic; really pleasant, friendly, and quick to come back.

This was our second visit to Starfish Cottage + we will absolutely be booking again for next year.. Such an amazing place to visit. There really are no negatives. Highlights of the cottage are the log burner + incredible views. It's perfect for our dog with a large fully enclosed garden. The island itself has too many amazing walks to fit into one week. The Mishnish pub in Tobermory does an amazing fish + chips

Mr Cooper, November 2019

Fantastic property.. Starfish Cottage was really comfortable, views were incredible too (could literally sit on the sofa and enjoy vies right over the Sound of Mull!!) Lots of lovely wildlife around as well as the friendly horses and dog from the neighboring farmhouse. The Jacuzzi bath, sauna and steam power shower were amazing,especially after long days exploring. Mull as a whole was stunning and a week just isnt long enough to see everything so we will definitely return again!!!!

Easy to find cottage from Craignure ferry.. Spacious everything you need to enjoy your holiday. Wonderful view from the lounge and bedroom. The sauna and jacuzzi bath are a real bonus after a day walking. The garden is secure for dogs to wander around in happily. Very quiet and peaceful and you can even see the white tailed eagles flying above the cottage.
