Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- NicholasFFisherShaftesbury, UK98 contributionsGreat to see the restored castle and family home of the Macleans. Stunning views from the battlements! Well worth the trip!Written 11 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Sue KStourport on Severn, UK26 contributionsDramatic Scottish White Sandy Dog Friendly Beach. Walk down from the beach car park, or from the Weavers Mill if you’re visiting there. Dogs on lead through the farm, but then they’re OK off lead on the beach.Written 21 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mark LumsdenDunfermline, UK137 contributionsHad a walk over to the island while the tide was out. Amazing beach causeway and the kids loved the fact the sat nav said they were walking on water. Collected some nice shells and had a nice wander aroundWritten 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- davidandshonaDumfries, UK2,102 contributionsWe were based in Tobermory for a week in January which started off in days of sunshine, with a cold breeze. Mid-week brought snow showers which resulted in some of the outlying country roads across Mull being blocked or hazardous. Thankfully by the end of our week the road out to Isle of Mull Cheese had re-opened allowing us to visit with our dog, Glen, and make some purchases for gifts.Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrew GGrimsby, UK79 contributionsA long ride from Fionnphort down to the Burg on the other side of Loch Scridain. Met a few walkers but the car park is a good distance away. The stone outhouse (locked) signals the end of the track (almost). We carried on foot around the headland and past the second waterfall to our destination. Again a good walk from the Burg. We were against the tide but still people came along after. DO CHECK TIDAL TIMES. The geology and views spectacular - we had a clear, sunny day thankfully.Written 30 January 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- davidandshonaDumfries, UK2,102 contributionsThese wrecks, abandoned since the 1970s, are located just outside of Salen on the road between Craignure and Tobermory. During our week long winter holiday we decided to drive down in mid-afternoon following some overnight snow Tue/Wed.
We also headed round to the now abandoned Salen pier, just as the snow returnedWritten 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From sunrise to sunset, in hail, rain, shine or snow we loved the changing colours of the sea and sky. Although we visited out-of-season during January this is a memorable vista that we will always fondly rememberWritten 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FernGlasgow, UK479 contributionsThe castle itself is very quaint. It's pretty and just as you'd expect but the walk to get to it and the beach it's on is just gorgeous! We'd tried to find a black beach previously on our trip but couldn't find it so finding here was a huge bonus. It's beautiful.
We also saw deer and tons of sheep and lambs on our walk, plus something big with some sort of fin swimming in the sea. No idea what it was, but this was a great wee trip.Written 1 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The start of the lighthouse path is found at the foot of the recently reopened steps down from the hotel to the main street, just next to the RNLI station.
After some overnight snow, we headed out with our dog, Glen, along the coastal path which is approx 2km (each way).
The journey offered lovely views over the sound of Mull towards the Morvern peninsula. The seaward side of the path has some steep drop offs which need to be noted, especially if taking a dog or young children. After about 45 minutes we got our first glimpse of the lighthouse.
Needless to say, our dog travelled the route mostly on his lead, however as it was winter, there were some sections where he was able to run free. I think that in summer this might not be the case as the path is quite narrow and would be too busy.
Once we reached the old lighthouse keepers' cottage, now converted to holiday lets, we discovered that the lighthouse is in fact properly referred to as Rubha nan Gall Lighthouse. But I suspect that most folk will still opt for calling it 'Tobermory' Lighthouse.
We would highly recommend this as a gentle walk, which still needs to be tackled with care, but it is certainly well worth the effort for the views and the peaceful tranquillity along the coast.
Having travelled out on a cold morning with clear skies, some sunshine and good visibility, as we turned to make the journey back the snow returned. For most of the trip back into Tobermory we couldn't see the Sound of Mull!Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Couple that with a walk to the beach (I reviewed that too!) and you are sorted!Written 6 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RetiredUrk, The Netherlands30 contributionsThere isn't much on Mull but the views at this site are so magnificent that my husband and I want to build a house there. They knew what they were doing when picking this site There isn't much left in terms of ruins.Written 6 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TheBushpigLochaline, UK10 contributionsInteresting large cave accessed along shore. Go at low tide and be prepared for deep kelp in places which makes the going quite slippery. Take a head torch to see deeper into the cave.Written 6 November 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- bblqk37Aberdeen, UK89 contributionsShort walk of about 10 minutes through two private gates. Cars are discouraged. Grass well cut and stone legible.Written 8 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Mark FWhitley Bay, UK27 contributionsThe actual location is 56°29'46.8"N 5°46'35.2"W. On coastal side of road just near Garmony Rugby Club turnoff. 4 miles west of Craignure toward Tobermory.
We visited in late August. There is an easy track around close to car park (see website) and a bit more more challenging track toward Fishnish.
It is a rich mixture of habitats in a small area at Garmony - pebble beach, and rocks, river, riverside meadow, coastal grassland, heath, coastal woodland, and bog! What you will see will be seasonal and opportunistic. In late summer on the heath we had lots of colour with ling in full flower, lots of devil's bit scabious, some late heather and harebells, a carpet of tormentil and lots of butterflies: Scotch Argus, Fritillary and Peacock mainly. Plenty of waders, lots of otter spraint and a glimpse of an otter; a seal in the distance.
The full walk would take longer (to Fishnish and back), but plenty to keep nature lovers occupied near Garmony.
And enough grassy space for a family for the kids to run about and burn off some energy. Picnic tables, but nothing else except nature.Written 28 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Such a great place to stop for lunch on your way to Fionnphort or just when exploring Mull. This route will take you through incredible mountain scenery. This view overlooks the valley and across the three lochs; Loch an Eilein, Loch an Ellen and Loch Airde Glais and is a great spot to see Golden Eagles.Great views, really a hidden gem. Well worth a visit.Written 21 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
