What guests are saying
Absolutely stunning holiday accommodation where lots of thought had been given to the design of the structure so not disturbed at all by other three properties.
Found the utility area invaluable as had a very wet week. The fabric of the interior was tired particularly the bed and bedding. Some new pillows and a new mattress would be much appreciated. We loved the location. So convenient for everywhere. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay at Driftwood and particularly appreciated the peaceful setting, location and the convenience of the utility area during what sounds like a very wet week on Mull! We’re also pleased you appreciated the design and layout of Fishnish Cottages, which allows each property to retain its own sense of privacy despite being part of a group of four. We appreciate your comments regarding the bed, mattress and pillows. Driftwood has already benefited from a number of updates as part of our ongoing programme of improvements across the cottages, and your feedback on these particular items is helpful as we consider the next areas to address. It’s lovely to hear that you would recommend Driftwood, and should you revisit Mull in the future, we’d be delighted to welcome you back to Fishnish Cottages.
Our second stay here: previously we stayed in Poppy’s cottage next - door-but one.
That was so good that we booked again in Driftwood. Donald has thought of everything that might be needed in the kitchen. The under-floor heating kept us warm in early September and the garden was perfect for our cocker spaniel. The views were delightful.
It was such a pleasure to welcome you back to Fishnish Cottages, and we’re delighted that after enjoying your previous stay at Poppies, you had an equally enjoyable time at Driftwood. We’re so pleased you found the cottage warm and comfortable, had everything you needed in the kitchen, and that the garden was a hit with your cocker spaniel too. And, of course, we’re glad you were able to enjoy those lovely views across the Sound of Mull. Thank you for choosing to stay with us again and for taking the time to leave such lovely feedback. We very much hope we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back for a third visit in the future.
Great location for us, looking for wildlife, very warm and ground source heat pump works well.
pleanty of hot water too. Maybe as we visited out of season the cottage was dusty, maybe due to the log burner that still had ash etc in it. Also we had to wash everything in the kitchen prior to use, a deep clean wouldnt go a miss, on the other hand we will happily return and se the cottage again. see you again next year.
Thank you for your kind comments about the location—we’re delighted you enjoyed the wildlife, warmth of the cottage, and the hot water supply. It’s also lovely to hear you’re planning to return next year. We’re sorry to hear that some aspects of cleanliness did not meet your expectations during your January stay. As this was out of season, just prior to our current programme of refurbishment and improvements, standards may not have been at the level we would normally expect. That said, your comments have been noted and have helped inform the work we are now undertaking. With regard to the log burner, a small amount of ash is intentionally left in the stove, as this helps new fires to light and burn more efficiently. We’re pleased to say that a number of updates and improvements are now underway across the cottages, and we look forward to welcoming you back to an even better experience next time. Thank you again for your feedback—it’s very much appreciated.
The property is set in a stunning location.
The view is spectacular and the property itself is pretty central to all parts of the island. It's close to two ways of getting on and off of Mull. The jacuzzi bath is a lovely way to relax after a long day sightseeing! Plenty of hot water, we had just one point where we didn't but the owner was very good at coming over and he got the system working straight away, so not a problem. The only slight drawback was that some of the furniture is on the slightly shabby side. Although, we would be quite happy to come back and stay here. We already miss the place!
It's a nice place and really good views.
Getting to it was a bit hard but not by much. It really can't be found on Google easily and using the provided directions was better. I wish the place came with shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I had to go buy one but on my entire vacation this was the only place without it. It would have been nice if the dishwasher and laundry pods/powder were refilled and labeled. I had to go buy one of them at the local store where I also figured out the pods were dishwasher pods. I still had to go buy laundry. The water is naturally yellow there and this should probably have been documented in the "home" binder. But the owner was very responsive when I called. The place has a very nice backyard. Both front and back were fenced so you can let the kids play outside without much worry. The location was surprisingly central to everything despite feeling secluded but prepare for lots of very long one-track roads. This is pretty much on every island. In short, we enjoyed our stay at the cottage and on the island and would definitely stay here again.
Our third visit to these properties and never disappointed .
Great location, convenient for the Oban Ferry, Tobermory, and Iona.
The fenced garden was perfect for our dogs and access to Moorland directly behind the cottage.
Our second stay at Driftwood Cottage and hopefully not our last .
Beautiful island and a cottage with wonderful views and all the amenities we required. Thoroughly recommended for a stay on Mull.
We have stayed in Driftwood many times and love its facilities and position above the Sound of Mull.
The owner is available to speak to if anything is amiss (not likely!). This year he is tackling the question of recycling/sorting glass/plastic/paper etc. so good luck to him for this initiative.
Absolutely perfect base with amazing views out over the sound: had everything we needed for a perfect week, thank you!
Great apartment in a great location on Mull, Dog friendly and dog safe garden for those a little more anxious
Thanks for a lovely stay, we really enjoyed it.
Great cottage in prime location,clean and well appointed Fabulous views and peace and quiet in abundance Would highly recommend this place and love to visit again
Lovely cottage, exactly what we were looking for.
Beautiful views all around. Had everything we needed. Great base for exploring the island.
A really wonderful stay at Driftwood.
Our ferry was cancelled due to bad weather but Donald was easy to get in touch with, responded quickly and gave us ideas of what we could do and an idea of the next ferry etc. The cottage itself has outstanding views (the pictures do not do it justice) with everything that you would need for your stay, plus extras, such as, washing detergent and dishwasher tablets. Plenty to do around the area and easily accessible to other parts of the island. Would highly recommend!
Driftwood cottage is the ideal location for ease of access to the ferry and also for exploring the rest of Mull.
Beautiful views over the sound of Mull and great enclosed garden for the wee doggy to safely explore. We had a couple of great climbs up the hills directly behind the cottage. There’s loads of really useful info in the information folder kindly provided. The cottage itself is comfortable and super warm with the same amazing views from indoors. Highly recommend.
A lovely cottage.
Good amenities. In an ideal situation to explore this beautiful island. The enclosed garden with uninterrupted magnificent views over the Sound of Mull was much enjoyed by us and our dog. We strongly recommend this property to anyone considering a break away in Mull and have booked again for next year.
Another great stay at driftwood, lovely cottage well equipped and clean and comfortable,Nice and central on the island
We really enjoyed our stay at Driftwood cottage.
The accommodation was warm, clean and comfortable and ideally situated to explore the island of Mull. We cycled a lot and the roads were very quiet and safe in March. The underfloor heating is a bonus and the views over the Sound of Mull much appreciated.
Lovely and comfortable, everything was there , views were amazing , we had a great stay .
Had a wonderful holiday in a beautiful place, lovely comfortable cottage with everything we could need, it was a delight.
Lovely cottage and location.
Perfect set up fir a week exploring Mull. Well cleaned and maintained. Some signs of wear but nothing you shouldn't expect given the location and turnover. Recommended.
The view from the cottage was beautiful.
We found the place clean and well maintained, comfortable bed, comfortable sofas and lovely big tv. The white goods were fairly new and good quality and most cutlery and crockery were in good condition , just a few pans which need replacing. We really enjoyed Mull, its scenery and fantastic wildlife, we would go back to the cottage again. Well done Donald for good quality holiday accomodation.
Very very dirty on arrival .
Dirty hob and grease dripping from bottom of oven. Bread crumbs on top of fridge and around microwave. All window frames and sills very dusty. Lounge window had line of either dog nose marks or toddler handprints across entire window Hard floors had not been washed or mopped as spilt drink stains all over Sofas have paint drips and marks where some touch ups had been done. Sofas well past useable state ,very uncomfortable and hard to get up from as the bases have sagged so much. Bathroom taps falling apart and strange smell in main bathroom Bed very uncomfortable and far too small. Ultimate no no was a toenail clipping under dining table!!! Cottage itself is lovely and great position. We booked for seven nights but left on the fourth morning as just kept finding more problems and dirt We will not be back to this cottage
Thank you for your feedback, our telephone number is posted in 4 places within the property and we are always on hand to help with any questions or issues at the property. There are several areas where phone signal can be obtained, there is also Wi-Fi. We've added new carpets into the property recently which we apologise if there was a new carpet smell from them. I was working up at the cottages for the 3 days you stayed at driftwood but our paths did not cross I always ask my guests to approach me if they need help with anything and after speaking with guests in our nearby property cleaned by the same cleaner, they were very happy with the cleanliness in the property, but we will feed your comments back to our cleaning team. Many thanks again for your comments.
Lovely cottage, great views.
The cottage is in need of some TLC now after a probably very busy year. Scored comfort low as the sofas have passed their best and the double bed was very firm, might be to some people's taste but not ours. Kitchen was very well stocked with utensils. Entrance utility room was great especially on wet/windy days to get out of waterproofs. Underfloor heating was very efficient, cottage stayed warm throughout. Fenced areas were great for the dogs, they also liked watching the inquisitive sheep and ponies.
Super location, great view from lounge window.
Cottage snug and cosy.
A very peaceful break.
The cottage is warm and comfortable with lovely views. Visited in cold weather therefore the woodburner and plentiful supply of dry logs was very welcome. Good facilities at the cottage. Sits in a row of 4 cottages however each has fenced off gardens and privacy would be good if sitting out. Would be ideal for 2 or more families to each have a cottage. Although quite far from Tobermory the village of Salen has a very good Spar shop with a wide range of meat, fresh vegetables and local produce. Close to the Fishnish and Craignure ferries. Would recommend the Lochaline- Fishnish ferry crossing rather than Oban-Craignure, its a lot shorter (15mins) and you can stay in the car. Pleasant walks in the area. Would certainly rent this cottage again.
The cottage was not up to standard when we arrived,it was dirty,we got the cleaner back but it was no different after she had gone,unacceptable especially in the current situation.
Thank you for bringing this to the owner's attention, and the owner has now addressed the issues raised with the cleaner. The property normally receives great cleanliness feedback, but the owner acknowledges this was not the case on this occasion. The complaint has been resolved to a satisfactory conclusion.
Really warm and cozy cottage with lovely views.
Great wifi and comfy beds. Hot water on demand. Visited by some lovely ponies too
It's our third stay at the cottages which says something really.
The location is beautiful, have seen eagles and stags in the past. The cottage is very well equipped, a welcome pack of tea/coffee/sugar/milk would be nice, just to kick start the holiday.
Very comfortable cottage.
Cosy (and this was for two v cold weather weeks in November) Stunning views over the Sound of Mull. Ideal location, central for visiting all parts of the island.
This was our second stay at Driftwood Cottage, we love it so much we have already booked to come back in March 2020.
. The cottage is amazing, very accommodating host, great size, great facilities, great location and even greater views.. However, for us there was a downside. the mattress in the en-suite room is a (very) firm ortho-mattress, so for us made it extremely uncomfortable.. sadly my wife and I ended up sleeping in the twin room..! Other than this I can not recommend this place enough..!!
We were impressed by stunning location and.
Owner very helpful with regard to access to the property. As weather not good for first few days we really appreciated the wooxburner and wi fi.
The cottage is wonderfully situated overlooking the sea: the views are beautiful and we could watch sea eagles from the garden.
We met the owner who couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly.
WE HAD A GOOD HOLIDAY IN THIS COTTAGE WITH FANTASTIC VIEWS TO CELIBRATE OUR GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSAY, ONLY DOWNFALL IS THE ROAD UP TO COTTAGE WHICH IS PRETTY RUGGED AND CAUSED A BIT OF DAMAGE TO OUR CAR, PERHAPS THEY COULD LEVEL IT OUT AT BIT.
The views were stunning.
The support from the owner good. The location meant easy travel in all directions. An excellent week made by glorious weather.
Superb location and a good cottage, plus we had fantastic weather
We had no complaints about this property and would certainly recommend it to anyone.
Driftwood Cottage is in a superb location and has everything that you need for a good holiday but some of the furniture and equipment is rather dated and could do with being refreshed.
Having said that I would very happily go back tomorrow! The views over the Sound of Mull cannot be beaten.
excellent
This was our second visit to this group of four delightful properties.
We now have stayed in Sunset and Driftwood. We chose to come to Mull again this year just so we could experience one of these cottages again. It was warm (underfloor heating) and very comfortable - a pleasure just to sit around on the one day when it rained for hours. The view is lovely, looking down over the sea. We did light the log stove a couple of times and this was very easy to manage, as we do have an open fire at home. Plentiful supply of logs in the utility area between the cottages. We had an issue with the TV when we tried to tune it in but a phone call to the owner solved this as he talked us through it. We would certainly choose one of these properties on our next visit to Mull.
The garden chairs on the grass area and table were in need of replacement due to poor maintenance also the table was quite small if 4 people were to try too eat there.
The internal paint work and doors could be refreshed. After saying something negative. It would be hard to find a better location and views also central to explore Mull.
Gr8 all round place to stay we would go back in the future .
Fabulous cottage with wonderful views.
Very clean with all the comforts of home.
A pleasant experience.
Would highly recommend Sykes and this holiday cottage
The island of Mull is a fantastic place and the cottage is in an ideal location with stunning views.
we were very pleased with everything until the last night when we had a complete power failure in the early hours of sat morning and were unable to wash the bed linen for you if some form of emergency lighting was available this would be great I e candles or a lantern of some sort .
but having said that one of the best holiday homes we have ever stopped at congratulations .
Good to know
