The Isle Of Mull Hotel And Spa

“Perfect stay”

I had a very long journey to get to the hotel, when I got into my room it was possibly the most welcoming experiences I have ever had. The room was nice and toasty and the radio was playing. The decor is tasteful, the staff are just fantastic, they are thoughtful and kind. Also, you have to check out the spa when you stay, at least indulge in one treatment. I had a massage, Kim was my masseuse and she was superb. The sauna and steam room look over on to the water, the "sound of mull". There is a decent sized pool, and the staff in the spa are also incredibly thoughtful and professional. If you want a relaxing get away, to be treated well, combined with dramatic gorgeous scenery, then I recommend staying at the Isle of Mull Hotel and Spa.

“A deceiving appearance with fantastic rooms but a disappointing restaurant.”

This hotel is something special but it has some key bits missing considering you’re staying in an isolated area. Highly recommend but take note of my criticisms below to make your stay on Mull excellent. The rooms need to be turned over, ours were not. The shower pressure was very poor, thankfully we had a bath but it was disappointing (minor maintenance issue that I’m sure will be resolved). The restaurant food was average at best, I’m not sure how ‘fresh’ the ingredients were for the sauces (were they packets?) the chips were likely frozen ones (or at least not prepared that day before frying) - you have a lot of competition in the area so the entire ensemble of food is important. I appreciate some food is off season, but not all, and I would say a basic requirement of hosting is to steer patrons towards specials or choices that have the freshest ingredients. A couple examples: the ice cream, you have a diary farm near Tobermory that would probably produce ice cream, I would recommend whatever is the freshest ice cream instead of reeling a list of flavours, or the seafood farm that is local, explain what is fresh or has been picked up today, if you’re doing baked Camembert, don’t include average shop bought pitta bread, BAKE YOUR OWN. Sell the freshness, not menu descriptions and saying ‘it is nice’, otherwise, you reduce yourself to being a hotel chain restaurant instead of something with its own identity as being ‘local’ or ‘fresh’, especially considering the prices you charge. It is only 30mins to Tobermory to go eat at wonderful establishments (and some on the way) AND you have a daily ferry to get ingredients from Oban. Using ‘award winning’ butchers is not a good marketing tool when you have to be ‘in it to win it’ with these awards, your chef/catering manager should be sourcing ingredients from local farms/suppliers that are continually reviewed. Overall stay without the restaurant experience 4/5, with the restaurant it brings it down to 3/5 for me. Disappointing considering you get a lot of things right throughout the establishment. Nonetheless, we would 100% come back but we won’t be eating here during our next stay. I instead recommend booking in at ‘The Galleon Bistro’ in Tobermory (and many other fine institutions)

We booked a 2 night spa package at the Isle of Mull Hotel and Spa. Our original booking was unable to go ahead in November due to the terrible storms but the hotel was very accommodating in rearranging our stay even with less than 24hrs notice. The hotel is stunning and immaculately clean. The reception staff were lovely and could not do enough for you. As were the waiters and bar staff. As we were away for my partners birthday, we had a lovely selection of cakes and a happy birthday message in our room. We had also been upgraded to the seaview suite which was absolutely stunning. The food was a little bit of a disappointment. As a 4* hotel we were expecting a lot more. On paper the menu sounded delicious but the dishes did not deliver. They lacked balance and elements were overcooked/underseasoned. It felt very expensive for what we got but it has potential to be something really special. We had £60 off as a part of the package which made it worth it but I would not have paid full price for the standard of the meal. I will say that as someone who is gluten free, the restaurant was very accommodating and I never felt like an afterthought. We had an afternoon tea and my gluten free one was excellent - the best I’ve ever had with a selection of goodies just as good as my partner’s. Most of the dinner and breakfast menus could be adapted to suit my dietary requirements also. Breakfast was ok, hot table service which was average and cold buffet. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The spa was nice but a little tired and run down. Our treatments included in the package were great but the outdoor hot tub and mud rooms were closed leaving only the foot baths and sauna/steam rooms. The pool was nice but again a little run down. Overall this is a beautiful hotel and we came away feeling very relaxed. We would definitely come back but unfortunately would be looking to go elsewhere on the island for evening meals. Would recommend to anyone wanting a special retreat
