Highly recommended, Beautiful Views. Cozy Hotel with tastefully decorated rooms. Delicious breakfast and evening meals, just like Mum used to make! Very friendly hosts. Lots to see and do on the island. Visited the Isle of Lunga, just as the Puffins arrived, amazing to see. Will definately be coming back! Thankyou for a wonderful stay.

We have just been back to the Ardachy House Hotel after an absence of two years. Last time we went, under different management, we were very disappointed but this time it has changed hands again and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location is superb, the whole place is spotlessly clean and Chris and Jo are very genial and friendly hosts. The food is good home cooking and the alcohol is very reasonably priced! We have been staying here for many years and it is good to see it back in safe hands. We'll be back!

Couldn't recommend enough, absolute hidden gem! 2nd visit to Ardachy and fantastic both times. Jo and Chris are brilliant and very accommodating hosts. As well as a brilliant breakfast Jo also provides brilliant dinners given notice, the meals we've had have been brilliant and easily amongst some of the best food we've been served on Mull and I've been visiting for 15+ years. The house is in a brilliant quiet location just a few minutes walk from the beach. We visit mull for wildlife and the b&b is in a great location to use as a base for wildlife exploration.

The house and room are very cozy and comfortable. The location is perfect for a "get away from it all" holiday. The beach is accessible by foot in minutes, and there are plenty of beautiful and interesting areas of interest to explore within short driving distance. We had a lovely time, and very much enjoyed chatting with the hosts. They had many stories to tell and very welcome advice on what to do in the area. They prepared delicious dinners for us for, and were very attentive to our well-being. We will not consider going anywhere else if we go back to Mull. Thank you, and all the best!

A wonderful clean and friendly hotel with modest evening meal and bar prices in a superb location of unsappased beauty. The owners are friendly, professional and have a real passion for what they do. They really make you feel at home and have a very good knowlege of Mull. The landlady Jo, is an excellebt cook. The choice of beers and wines is good and modestly priced. I'm looking forward to returning to this wonderful haven.

We (myself, my husband and our 14 months old son) really enjoyed our stay at Ardachy House. The hosts were extremely accomodating and home made food was very tasty. The place is ideally located for all the walks and "escape it all" kind of trip. Just what we needed.

Stayed for 6 nights, can't recommend highly enough. The owners Jo and Chris couldn't be nicer, nothing was too much trouble, everything immaculately clean and well presented. Fabulous breakfast, comfy beds and dolphins in the bay.

We enjoyed our 3 nights. Tony and team are very welcoming. The rooms were comfortable and there is a lovely sitting area for guests. Breakfast and dinner were excellent and packed lunches are available on request. They catered very well for vegetarian and other special dietary requirements. We liked the location of the hotel as it is a good base for exploring the Ross of Mull and Iona. There is a beach a short walk from the hotel which made for a lovely evening walking on the beach listening to the waves.
