I have traveled many times to Scotland. I am in love with this land and its people. Endless horizons and deafening silences fill me and refresh me every time I come here. In this house, if it was ever possible to ask for something more, I found one of the best welcome you could wish for. Linda and TIm are perfect, kind and reserved guests but at the same time caring and attentive. I couldn’t recommend better here than all the wonderful land and sea around. With infinite pleasure Gino Gonella

Linda and Tim offered a warm welcome to us when we recently visited. Linda was very helpful and knowledgeable about things to do with island and the surrounding ones Breakfast was an excellent start after a good nights sleep. Also the sitting room space was a lovely way to end the day reading. The room was a good size for the 3 of us. Would certainly stay here again

This B&B was perfect for the three of us. We appreciated the extra living room as well as a bedroom with enough room to sleep 3 adults, both of which were just as pictured/desrcibed. Great location near Fionnphort, with beautiful views and walks right from the front door. The breakfast was excellent and cooked to order. The hosts made us feel welcome, also gave us some useful tips before we arrived, and we could come and go as we pleased. We wished we had been able to stay longer then 2 nights.

Had a wonderful couple of nights here at the beginning of the month. Communication was brilliant, as were the helpful directions and recommendations. Linda (and Tim) was a superb host and cooked the loveliest breakfasts! The house is in such a peaceful location set back from the road but only a mile outside Fionnphort. It was just so quiet - we both had such a good night's sleep. Spent a day going over to Iona which was beautiful too. Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to stay here. Cannot praise it enough.Rob & Julie

Linda and Tim are excellent, warm, welcoming hosts, offering great advice on the area and things to do. Their hospitality is super and our accommodation was spotlessly clean every day without fail. The location and views just add to the whole positive experience.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will book again without hesitation.

We stayed a couple of nights here on a sightseeing tour of the West of Scotland. We found Tim and Linda's place no problem, after a visit to Iona. Linda welcomed us and explained everything, then left us with plates and utensils for our picnic evening meal. Breakfast was more than adequate and was served as ordered. We found this was a great base for Mull, with all the comforts of home, very private for us also. We had exclusive use of the bathroom and lounge in addition to the large bedroom which meant we had more than enough room to relax. Would recommend this as a place to stay, a million miles from the hustle and bustle of the more populous tourist areas Tobermory for example. Very very peaceful.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at Maolbhuide and felt very well looked after. A lot of consideration has been given to making guests feel comfortable. Having a separate living room and bathroom and being cooked a delicious breakfast was a complete treat. Linda is very accommodating and does all she can to make your stay special. The trip to Iona was the icing on the cake!

Stayed here 2 nights with my daughter while visiting Iona, Staffa, and the surrounding area. Linda and Tim were very gracious and helpful hosts. Our breakfast was homemade from local food supplies and cooked perfectly. The accommodations were ample and clean. I can't understand the less than 5 star reviews here. I think you need to realize that this is a country home bed and breakfast. There are sheep and birds all around the house and there may be mice as well. There is no need to lock the doors here - enjoy the fact that the area is that safe. Perhaps the best way to frame your stay here is to imagine that you're staying with your aunt and uncle who cook and clean for you, and help with your stay and local travels while you come and go as you please.

We had a great time in our "flat" with a large sleeping room, a cozy living room and a super clean bathroom. But the highlights were Linda's breakfast prepared to our wishes and whims and the interesting talks we had with her about life and times.
