I completely agree with the review posted on 10th April. We had room 6 - a nice bright and airy room up in the attic with fabulous views over Tobermory Bay. Being in the attic there are sloping ceilings (one perilously close to my side of the bed!) and the bathroom entrance is definitely through what looks like a cupboard... More

The B+B is one of the famous coloured houses on the harbour in Tobermory – its easy to find in the small village and free parking is available on the road. (There were plenty of spaces when we arrived at Easter but may get full in Summer?). We had at attic room overlooking the bay – a lovely view, spoilt... More

This lovely little b&b situated on the waterfront of tobermory, provided myself and my two children the most wonderful stay. When we arrived, we were greeted by stephen and edward, and i must say, it really is delightful to see two smiling faces. They were very welcoming and they were brilliant with my daughter and son. Edward helped me with... More

The Carnaburg is one of the eighteenth-century coloured houses in Tobermory, right on the harbour. The location could not be better. The first photo shows this superb location. The Carnaburg is the red building to the right of the photo. Edward and Stephen, the new owners, are working very hard, day and night, to bring this property up to a... More

Gets a 1 because of value and because i have to. All in all not great. Noone in so had to stand around (I know, its a small scottish town but seriously....) Room was tiny and the bed was awful. The shower didn't work and the toilet roared all night like we had a lion in the bathroom (which I... More

Your review is unfair. I believe you were staying in room 1 which is our standard single room. You paid £20.00 for your 1 night stay in our 2 star guest house. The matress is this room is new, the sani-flo system was only replaced in October this year, also brand new. Our delivery never arrived the week you were... More

We stayed here for one night and didn't include breakfast so I can't comment on that. Price was dropped commensurately. The room (#4) was small but cosy, with a great view straight out over the harbour. If you want a "room with a view" check it out. The bed was kind of small though. Uncomfortable for someone over 6' with... More

We stayed one night in this guest house but we really didn't enjoyed our stay. As a read the other comments about this place I guess the other rooms are nice so I won't be too catégoric about the whole place and limit my comment on this one room : it was a twin room in the back of the... More

Thank you for your review. We are sorry you felt the beds were uncomfortable. I believe you were staying in room 9. These beds are nearly brand new and quite firm, so perhaps you prefer a softer matress. We are currently updating and decorating rooms, this can only be done throughout the quieter months and room 9 is next in... More

Stayed for 2 nights in a family room overlooking the seafront. Lovely welcome, delicious breakfast, easy parking, perfect place for us to stay. Our hosts left "Balamory" maps and badges for our small children to find on their beds. We enjoyed walking around the town, finding the houses from the TV programme! As someone else commented, the decor is a... More

The only thing going for this 'hotel' is the location, if you're lucky enough to get a sea view room the view is great. Apart from that it's pretty awful, more of a hostel with private rooms and not a good one at that. The decor hasn't been changed for decades and the bathroom was mouldy. The plumbing is something...

Thank you for your review. I can't understand why we have gone through the whole busy summer season with 4 and 5 star reviews on trip advisor and then recieve such a rubbish untrue 1 star review. We offer a mix of ensuite and shared bathroom facilities and our prices reflect these rooms to suit all budgets. Most of our... More
