Everything about our stay was amazing.
We stayed in the apartment inside the castle.
It was spacious, luxurious and really special.  There was a small turret room on the 3rd floor of the apartment and the views from there in the evening were amazing.
It’s a bit of a trek into Tobermory from the castle as the roads are single track roads, but it’s well worth it.  I wouldn’t have wanted to stay anywhere else during our visit to the Isle of Mull.

A fantastic and amazing place to stay

Booked the castle for a March 2020 visit, however COVID closed down UK, so we could not visit.  Had to cancel the visit, but got an email that said "I confirm I have cancelled your reservation, we are offering to carry deposits forward to a booking in the future."  Tried to book a stay using my deposit, but got "I am afraid I cannot carry forward your deposit as too long has lapsed now."   Well, guess I will not be visiting.  Seems shortsighted to not credit me for money I spent, since I would have spent a good deal more, but I guess business is good so no need to honor what you say

Don't make a promise you are not going to keep...

This is truly one of the top places I have stayed in my life - having traveled the world and been all over! Majestically situated on a hill above the coast facing the Atlantic Ocean and Outer henrides. We arrived on a blistering stormy rainy dark evening to enter the halls and gorgeous rooms of this castle. to be welcomed by a most wlecoming lady - as all the staff were. Wonderful room facing the Atlantic from which we watched the starry night at ight in between the clouds descending. Huge bathroom with bathtub and views outsude .... Wonderful recreation rooms downstairs with paintings, beautiful woog paneling, fireplaces on - and all of 18 different Scotch whiskies to try from!! Everyone joined in and conversations with new people was amazing. Breakfast was supebv - all fresh goods! Orange juice fresh. Best of sausages, black pudding etc etc. This place is a rare retreat.

10 out of 10

My friends, the Pooch and I have just had a lovely 3 night break in the Castle Lodge. The beds were lovely, the kitchen had all we needed and though my room was very cold a small electric heater warmed it up quickly enough at bed time. This wasn’t an issue though because we spend most of our time playing games at the kitchen table or reading in the very comfy lounge in front of the wood burning stove.  

I’m a keen walker and the Pooch needs 3x 1 hour walks a day. In rural areas like this it can be a bit of frustration keeping the dog on the lead all the time but that’s a must here if you want to safely enjoy the sheep, highland cattle and paths that wind in all directions. There was so much beautiful landscape to stimulate and entertain us we didn’t miss WiFi, DVD players or external entertainment. The weather was really mixed but you just need good wellies and a waterproof coat!  Inside we had comfort, books and the fire! 

There was a vegan and a vegetarian in the party so we had brought all our own food with us. Thank goodness we did! This is out of season tourism and nothing, bar a few shops in Tobermory and a wonderful local Premier somewhere on the way to Calgary Bay, was open. If you want to eat out then this isn’t the time to come but if you want a really quiet and relaxed experience it’s perfect. 

An excellent venue on a beautiful estate in a stunning island.

Absolutely lovely!

Had an excellent stay at Glengorm.  Warm hospitality.  Beautiful rooms, bed linen and bathroom.  Great breakfasts. Sad I only discovered this place as it is about to move to self catering only. Fantastic views and grounds to walk. Shall definitely return and recommmend to anyone travelling to Mull.

Best B&B

The castle itself is stunning, and we loved the freedom of being able to wander and sit in the beautiful rooms.  We were met by the very lovely Pam, who was delightful, and showed us around and to our room.  The room was small but clean  with  great views over  the sea, but there are no locks for the doors…..you can bolt yourself in at night, but if you’re not in the room then it’s unlocked…  not everyone’s cup of tea..

Breakfast was very meat driven with no veggie options which is not good....it’s easy to keep some veggie sausages in the freezer and everywhere else we stayed had a really good range of veggie and vegan options.   When I asked I was met with a blank stare and was told “it’s what’s on the menu but we can get your some baked beans” .I opted for poached eggs and the plate was literally swimming with water. Service after that was non existent and we were made to feel a little uncomfortable which was a shame.  Husband had the full English but the sausages were beef which he didn’t particularly like. 

Toiletries were OK but not luxury, bright green bottle of shampoo from a supermarket … £200 a night I expected more. People enjoyed the complimentary whiskey which was a nice touch, there seemed to be a good choice for those who liked a dram.

Overall it really is a beautiful building and we went down to the shore to watch a sea otter having his evening dinner which was fabulous. Loved the freedom and sitting around in the stunning rooms..I’m torn with this review, as we loved the place and the history, the only thing that soured it for us was the attitude of the woman at breakfast. 80% fabulous…20%.  not so good.

Mixed feelings

We walked down to Glengorm Castle and the coast beyond from a cottage just outside Tobermory. The Castle is just for residents but there a great coffee shop as a stop off. It’s not a restaurant but more than a coffee ship if you know what I mean? Friendly staff doing the Covid thing well; but keeping a good feel of the hospitality side of the offering. 

We walked around the walled veg’ garden which made me jealous, such a lovely space being managed between poly tunnel and open beds. 

Beyond the house, but still in their grounds the walk down to the coast is only 1.5m with standing stones, scant castle ruins and a natural bathing pool fed by the tide. 

I’ve had a look at the B&B option to stay at the castle since we walked through and it looks great. One for when we don’t have the kids. 

Great walking with beautiful views 

Sad to see the B&B is closing after this season because this is one of the best places we've ever stayed. The room was spacious and the bed was so comfortable. The view from the room overlooking the fields and ocean was magnificent. Breakfast was delicious. It was such a treat to be able to use the game room and the library to unwind.

Total luxury

Two nights were not enough to enjoy everything Mull and Glengorm have to offer. So beautiful, relaxing, historic, pastoral, and luxurious. This was probably my favorite hotel stay ever, and I've stayed in some famous places. Sad that we won't be able to return in a few years to the B&B, but I expect the self-catered accommodations are equally lovely.

Wish We Stayed Longer

We stayed at Glengorm for 4 nights and loved every minute of it. Other 5 star reviews echo our impressions and sentiments, so let’s not bore you. In short, if you’re a free-thinker who wants wants to stay in a beautifully presented, accessible, comfortable, tranquil castle, set in idyllic scenery and offering fabulous breakfasts and a wide choice of (complimentary) malt whiskies, book and enjoy without a second thought. If you want room service, lighting fast broadband and staff 24/7, look elsewhere and enjoy your experience. Could Glengorm be the UK’s best B&B? Don’t know, but it was a fabulous experience and we felt like welcome, honoured and trusted guests in someone’s home.
