Both of your staff, Tashi, and young lady (psyschology) excellent; also expressed interest in the Mendelssohn on Mull classical music events which I have been attending for years. September brilliant sunshine helped too for this time of year. I am a life member - 77 - and the experience is as good as the first I ever started, in Galloway in the early 1960s.Eric

I had a great stay as the staff and guests were very friendly. My bed wasn't a bunk bed, which is great and there are good kitchen facilities, with a big light dining area. You are right next to the sea and there are great walks possible around, weather permitting..Jane

Lovely hostel with a nice peaceful atmosphere. Great location on the main street. Room clean and comfy. Staff helpful. Mull is a beautiful welcoming place. I recommend the Staffa Tours wildlife boat trip, amazing to see puffins up close and dolphins.Louisa
Reasons to visit
Curving round a sheltered bay Tobermory is an ideal holiday location for wildlife watchers, hill walkers, seafood enthusiasts - and families. It’s also a great place to base yourself for exploring other areas of the island, whether on bike or on foot.
Mull has many things to enjoy, including coastal and woodland walking, scuba diving and pony trekking. From here you can visit the Isle of Iona, sometimes known as the 'Cradle of Christianity' in Scotland, or take a trip to Staffa to see this geologically amazing island which inspired Mendelssohn to write 'Fingal's Cave' (The Hebrides overture).
Mull has 300 miles of dramatic coastline, from unspoilt beaches to historic castles and mountain peaks, waiting for you to explore by car, bike or on foot.

- Go puffin watching on the Isle of Lunga
- Walk to Tobermory Lighthouse
