Vacation rentals in Mannal

A cosy, welcoming and stylish little cottage on an Incredible little island, with wonderful history and amazing views across the coastline. Very friendly and helpful locals and ferry men. Could have stayed for longer!

La casa è un piccolo cottage bucolico in mezzo alla natura, con una splendida vista sul mare e sul verde, gli unici suoni sono quelli delle pecorelle al pascolo. Ci siamo sentiti a casa, in un ambiente confortevole a cui non manca davvero nulla. Non abbiamo potuto stare molto sul portico, data la pioggia, ma abbiamo goduto del fuoco nella stufa che aveva già tutto l’occorrente per i due giorni che siamo stati lì. In generale consiglio questo posto soprattutto se avete qualche giorno da spendere sull’isola di Skye e nessuna fretta di girarla, essendo a sud per alcune attrazioni naturali dell’isola non è comoda la distanza, ma avendo tempo non c’è alcun problema. Grazie mille ad Anita per la sua gentilezza e disponibilità.

I wrote this in the visitors book but I’ll say it again, if you’re going on holiday it’s only a holiday if you stay somewhere that’s nicer than your house, in my case Blacksmith’s Cottage certainly is. The Cottage smells, looks and feels warm and welcoming. Spotlessly clean, bright, comfortable, well heated and in a great spot, it had everything we wanted. Bonuses for us were having two en-suites upstairs and a third bathroom on the ground floor, an evening sun trap garden and ponies occasionally leaning over the back wall. A short walk into Tobermory for groceries, there’s also the smokehouse just down the lane for delicious smoked trout pate, salmon and cheese. We were lucky to have fantastic weather, so all in all, thoroughly spoilt! Thanks Alison, we hope to return soon.

Our visit to Ella's place on Mull exceeded expectations! The Blue House instantly felt like home, with all the amenities we needed. Located in a quiet area just a short distance from Tobermory, it’s the perfect spot for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to the town. The 10 minute walk into Tobermory was very pleasant. Ella was an excellent host, providing clear instructions and great recommendations for the area. The Blue House, part of a vibrant row of homes, felt like a beautiful homage to Tobermory's iconic colorful houses along the harbor. We highly recommend this charming house to anyone visiting the area and look forward to returning in the future!

We had a fabulous stay at Elizabeth’s accommodation. Elizabeth was a friendly , helpful host and was able to give us some insight to the area , places to visit etc . The inside of the chalet was homely , spotless and very comfortable with lovely little touches . Elizabeth has thought of pretty much everything in kitting it out . The view is stunning from chalet . Would definitely recommend and will definitely make a return visit 😊

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet hébergement agréable et lumineux à quelques minutes seulement à pied de la rue principale de Tobermory. Nous recommandons chaleureusement cet hôte et cet hébergement.

What a stunning place! Peaceful, quiet and everything you’d wish for. Away from the usual busy hub of the highlands during the summer. Perfect place to island hop too, if you like remote this is the place to be. Come prepared though, stock up on supplies before you arrive.

Beautifully decorated and well appointed home. Great location - 5 min walk from the co-op, 15 mins walk to the centre of Castlebay. We stayed with our two young kids and their grandparents. Everyone was comfortable, there were appropriately designed bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate all ages. The house was warm throughout and features a comfy living room, big dining table - and a bright and welcoming kitchen with a nice, smaller table for breakfast. Definitely hope to stay here again and happily recommend.

Lovely place to stay in the middle of Bowmore. Great base for walking, cycling etc. on Islay. Lovely house with a stream through the garden.
