We had an absolutely wonderful time at Glengorm Castle. From the moment we drove up to the second we left everything was perfect. The lounge, games room, dining room and reading room had a lovely warm and relaxed atmosphere and the room we stayed in (Torr) was large and beautifully decorated and furnished. The breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed lovely walks from the grounds to the coast line. A truly special place in a much loved home. We will certainly return.

Most beautiful b&b I've ever stayed in. The interior is to die for and the views from the castle are breathtaking. The bedrooms are just stunning and the breakfast was an added bonus. The castle does not have a restaurant for dinner, but it is not a problem. We dined at Am Berlin (~35 min drive) and Mishnish (~15 mins), both equally as nice! I would also recommend pre-booking 1 week in advance so you can book a table - Especially on a Sunday and Monday when a lot of restaurants are closed
We stayed for 2 nights at Glengorm Castle and it made our holiday that little bit more special. I could

Compared to what? Is there any other B&B quite like this? Probably not. If not for anything else, just do it to say you stayed in a castle on a cliff. On an island. Then wait until sunset. While time stands still, stare out at the vastness of the Atlantic and congratulate yourself for making it this far and not wrecking your car's suspension on the frankly treacherous Isle of Mull roads. You can go no further now. You have reached the end of civilisation. The only way is back. Back to your job. And the daily grind. Enjoy this moment.
Highlights include: 1920's plumbing. Free whisky. Hungry hippos

Only went for a walk and to use the tea room, but it is a really smashing place for both. We walked for a couple of hours, down to the shore below. There were some great views of the coast and back towards the castle itself, which is self catering apartments. The tea room was a bit limited, because of Covid, but, although we only had coffee, the food coming out for others looked very nice. Will definitely return.

Magic place. We really enjoyed our stay, despite the weather. Great breakfast, unfortunately no dinner was available. Dining options in the near Tobermory are not up to these standards.
