We were disappointed that we failed to meet up with a local reresentative

Sunset cottage is extremely well equipped, all the white goods are of a very high quality - and all worked well.. The view from the lounge is breath taking and to be there in warmer times must be great in order to make use of the garden furniture - unfortunately we visited in November! We may return in the spring of next year.

We had a fantastic week in Sunset Cottage.. Ideal spot to base yourself for touring all areas of Mull. Cottage has everything you require including a awesome view of the Sound of Mull .

The cottage is in an excellent location and is equipped well enough.. The only issue we had was that we found the bed uncomfortable. The living room with the log fire is nice and cosy on the colder evenings. The views are very relaxing and when you get a sunset, its very picturesque. I would recommend staying here.

This is a very comfortable cottage in a great location for exploring the island with fantastic views over the Sounds of Mull if in the area again would certainly look to rebook this cottage..

We had a fabulous stay at Sunset Cottage.. The view is amazing and ever changing. The Cottage just suited us and had everything we needed for the two of us and our 2 pooches. It is well equipped and very clean. The enclosed garden was a godsend for the dogs too. Can not recommend this Cottage highly enough.

We arrived on a later Ferry from Oban about 6pm and the cottage was easy to find, spotless and very well equipped. We were glad to have stocked up in Oban as the main opportunities for food shopping are limited to the Spar shops in Craignure or Salen but Tobermory has a good Coop. The information folder in the cottage also recommends places to buy sea food locally. We were visited by 2 ponies and the local sheep but missed out on any otters, or sea eagles for which we should have booked an afternoon with Eaglewatch. Weather was mixed but didn’t stop our enjoyment of Mull. We did several short walks along the coast, including from Tobermory which is picture postcard perfect. We saved the best day for a day trip to Iona with its abbey and idyllic white sands and turquoise seas. It was lovely to return to this comfortable cottage at the end of the day and we had great fun using the wood burning stove which is very efficient. If we could make a couple of recommendations it would be to communicate more regularly with your clients as we had to chase up to get the information we needed ie directions. The second would be to buy a new duvet for the double bed. We had to use the single bed duvets to keep warm.

Lovely off road location with great views of the sound. Very clean and tidy with everything you would need provided. Would highly recommend and very good value for money. We have rented this accommodation twice. Very nice friendly owner too .

With a few tweaks this property could be outstanding.. ..however, it does have many wonderful facilities such as the wood burning stove which makes the lounge very cosy. The location was amazing & it was an easy drive from the ferry terminal.

This is a beautiful cottage on the hillside looking out over the Sound of Mull. Positioned on the only two carriageway road halfway between the ferry at Craignure and Salen. Well equipped with very comfortable beds. Very clean with soft white towels and beds.

Sunset Cottage is ideally placed for discovering Mull .. Lovely location , fantastic views , comfortable with everything you need , ten out of ten
Mrs Taylor

The view from the front of the cottage is fantastic.. Picnic table and seats on the lawn. Everything we needed was there. Bob didn't like the look of the big stainless steel chimney thing leading from the wood burning stove up through the ceiling. He thought it was a bit ugly. We didn't need to use the stove as the underfloor heating was highly efficient - too warm at times but we didn't alter the controls, just opened a door! Plenty of storage in the bedrooms. We hope to return to this property on our favourite island.
