Glengorm Castle

We were staying in Tobemory and took the short drive to Glengorm Castle for a walk. It was a beautiful day we walked to the pier, it was muddy so make sure you have walking boots. We stopped off for lunch at the cafe which served lovely home made lunches and cake at a reasonable price.

We were staying nearby in Tobermory for a week and on the Sunday afternoon we drove out past Glengorm Castle on a trip out to Calgary Bay. We stopped only for enough time to take a couple of photos. The cafe and farm shop were still open but due to close within 20 minutes so we didn't shop or eat

Everything about our stay was amazing. We stayed in the apar**ent inside the castle. It was spacious, luxurious and really special. There was a small turret room on the 3rd floor of the apar**ent 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
