Just returned from a lovely break to Garmoran Square where we stayed in the MacRuairi 1 bedroom cottage. This was perfect for our family (2 adults and a baby), the cottage is extremely well equipped and Susan & Kenneth were kind enough to provide a travel cot for us. The area is beautiful and well worth the long drive out... More

Garmoran Square is a good base for a holiday if wishing to do day trips to Mull, the Small Isles or Skye. We were happy to provide the travel cot, we always welcome children and hope people... More

... because I'm worried it will be overrun with bookings and I would never be able to get it again! Just back from a short break. We stayed in Macruairi, which is a one bed cottage, but it is far from small. The living room/dining room/kitchen is light and airy with views on all sides. The bedroom has plenty of... More

The apartment is super modern and the floor to ceiling windows open out onto beautiful views regardless of the weather. All the fttings and fixtures are top notch and i couldn't fault it.... More

Many thanks for your great review, we are so pleased you loved the interior and floor to ceiling windows, we really do believe these are one of the things that make Garmoran Square special, the fact you can sit and watch the changing weather, light and wildlife with Ben Resipole as a backdrop! Hope to welcome you to Garmoran again... More

We found Garmoran Square a warm, cosy and comfortable haven from the Scottish weather, which was rather unkind to us. The same could not be said for the owner of this beautiful accommodation, whose care and willingness to share her hospitality shines through the apartment as soon as you walk through the door. We were welcomed with fruit loaf, fresh... More

Just returned to Ireland from a family reunion where we all stayed at Garmoran Square. Cannot get over the quality of the self-catering accomodation nor the hospitality of the proprietors, Kenneth and Susan. Would highly recommend this property to anyone. Scenery more than acceptable as well! Will look forward to a return visit sometime.
