My friend and I stayed at Strongarbh House for a week in June 2023. I did a bunch of online searching and reading and was very confident with this choice. From the first emailed confirmation that included travel tips and links to recommendations, to the reminder email when ferry reservations opened, to Jane greeting us upon arrival and handing us cakes for the road when we said our goodbyes, we couldn't have been happier. The room was spacious (huge), comfortable, clean, tastfully decorated, and had a gorgeous view. Every morning, Adrian served us coffee, juice, and a delicious hot two course breakfast. We never left hungry. The downside to this was that every breakfast the following week I would sigh and say "Boy do I miss Adrian's breakfast, he sure did spoil us." Our hosts were very accommodating, willing to serve a little early when we had a timeline, and packed us wonderful lunches for a day outing. Location was perfect, just a level up from the main street, making most everything walkable and giving us the beautiful view of the harbor. Thank you Adrian and Jane for a wonderful week at Tobermory.…

We booked in for a 2 night stay and used two rooms. The house is kept in a fantastic state, cleaning, tidy and welcoming. The hosts engaged in early correspondence during and throughout the booking process. Check in was simple easy and we were shown to our enormous rooms, each that has its own sperate bathrooms. We had one of the front rooms which gave stunning views out across the Tobermory harbour. The house is well insulated and has modern sash windows. Each room come a kettle and coffee machine, which is well stocked. There is a fridge in the common hallway which has fresh milk and chilled water. The grounds in Strongarbh are well kept and there is a secret pathway that leads into town, saving about a 5 minute walk if you follow the roads. There is off street parking. Each morning the hosts provide an every changing breakfast menu and we were well catered for. A truly wonderful stay, that made our time on the Isle of Mull even more memorable. This is a sort after venue, so recommend that as soon as you have decided to stay in Tobermory that you book. 5 stars…

We have stayed at a few places in Tobermory but this is by far the best. The guest house is in a beautiful location overlooking Tobermory harbour. The rooms were modern and tastefully decorated. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. The complimentary afternoon tea was delicious and much appreciated after a full day of sightseeing. We would highly recommend.

This must surely be one of the best B& Bs in Scotland. Adrian and Jane are the most hospitable and welcoming people. The house has a superb location overlooking the bay and the room was large and lovely and spotlessly clean. The breakfasts were delicious and the bread homemade. Great value for money

We had a fabulous 4 night stay at Strongarbh, Jane and Adrian made us feel extremely welcome. The house is stunning, a great deal of thought has been put into the decor, everything is just beautiful and very tasteful. The breakfasts were way above average with interesting specials every day. As a veggie, I was very well catered for, my veggie breakfast was great, and there was lots of fruit and other loveliness on offer. The position is ideal with great views across the bay, and a small jaunt down into town, via a little walkway. We had a side room which was small but very comfortable with touch lights and quirky decor …I believe the front rooms are much larger. The toiletries provided were local luxury brands, very indulgent and welcome after a long day walking. We enjoyed our afternoon teas in the library, Jane cooks a mean cake…each one was delicious, and of course a spot of whiskey later in the evening. Adrian and Jane were really helpful and knowledgeable, and I would not hesitate to recommend a stay at Strongarbh.…

Very welcoming place and hosts, view is incredible and rooms, breakfast, ambiance just fantastic. Attention to detail is second to none. Best accomodation in Mull without a doubt ! Its a short walk to the hustle and bustle of the town but a welcome escape to the peace and quiet !

Really excellent B and B with welcome additional aspects. Shelter from a squally afternoon in the comfy lounge with amazing Art/Architecture books for example, with complimentary afternoon tea and cake... Everything you would expect at Breakfast , but with exceptional Specials, Local Trout with Rosti/Horseradish/Watercress one day, Haddock omelette another. Memorable stay.

We stayed in Room 1 for 5 nights. The room's ambience, view of the bay & ever changing sky was spectacular. The bed was comfortable & the sitting area was a great spot to take in the view while enjoying the in-room coffee. Milk was available for tea & coffee. Locally made biscuits were also provided. Afternoon tea was offered which included wickedly delish cakes. Adrian's breakfasts, which included a daily special, were superior in presentation & flavor. Fruits, juice, coffee, tea, toast, porridge were available in addition to the chosen main. Hosts Adrian & Jane were delightful & ever attentive to making our stay special. They were helpful with information about the area. Figuring out local boat tours was a challenge but Jane really went the extra mile in signing us up for a marvelous land & sea tour with Turus Mara. If there's a memory of our Scotland trip that stands out, it is our stay at the Strongarbh. We wish we would've had more time to explore Mull & stay longer at Strongarbh. Kudos to Jane & Adrian for an exceptional experience!…

Beautiful rooms with wonderful views. Lots of lovely touches including complementary afternoon tea (yummy cakes), fresh milk in a fridge outside the bedrooms for tea and coffee in the room, wonderful linen on the beds and amazing breakfast. Highly recommended.

Exceptional few days stay at Strongarbh house . Fantastic sun bathed room with a view down onto harbour . Breakfasts and afternoon tea and cake are going to be missed and browsing the vast array of books and newspapers in the library . Thankyou Jane and Adrian , love your attention to detail.
