Had a great time despite the foul weather (heavy rain and high winds), food excellent, rooms clean and a very comfortable bed. Nice relaxed atmosphere, staff/owners very helpful and friendly, well worth the long trip up to Mull. Watched sea eagles from lounge. We will defiantly be going back next summer, hopefully the weather will be more friendly. more

We were immediately turned off by the sourness which which we were greeted by the woman proprietor - a point with appears to accord with the comments of a number of other guests - and less than impressed at being royally overcharged for a light meal. The hotel's shoddy appearance, as flagged up by others, I can easily forgive -... more

At Glenforsa we were met with a warm welcome. The hotel is in a beautiful setting and the rooms are unique but lovely. The food in the restaurant is the best that we had on our trip round the West Coast of Scotland. While you are in Mull take a drive to Calgary Bay, it is a beautiful but deserted... more

The welcome wasn't exactly welcoming, and things went downhill from there. The room was dark and dreary (yes, I know, it's the 'cabin' look although the dodgy slipper chair wasn't in keeping), the blind on the window didn't work, the towels were tiny, and the bed the most uncomfortable ever (and it was a king size bed with a double... more

I don't really know here to start with thisone. First of all, I am sorry this guest did not enjoy their stay at the Glenforsa, we do work very hard to ensure our guests have a relaxing and enjoyable time, and as our guests comments at http://www.glenforsa.com/glenforsahotelguestbook.html show, mostly we get it right. The whole hotel is made from at...

We booked a night at the Glenforsa at the end of our stay in Mull, mainly on the basis that it had a room when everywhere else seemed booked up. We developed some trepidation when each time someone asked ‘where are you staying tonight’ and we said the Glenforsa they raised they eyebrows, laughed, said it is weird, mentioned Faulty... more

Let me start this review with an observation. The Glenforsa hotel is not some 5* glitzy city centre hotel that some of the people here are seemingly expecting. The Glenforsa hotel is a comfortable well kept and very welcoming place to stay. The views are amazing, the location is stunning, the food is superb, both the owner and his wife... more

I was a bit worried with the establishment after booking there for two nights, and after reading some reviews on TripAdvisor. However, I have been well pleased with my choice. The hotel is made of a main lodge with the reception, a bar and a restaurant room on the ground floor, and a lounge on the first floor, and chalets... more

I booked this hotel just a couple of nights before my interview at Tobermory High for the post of Deputy Head teacher. I came off the ferry with my hair standing on end - and phoned the hotel to see if I could check in and smarten myself up before the interview. No problem, I was able to drop off... more
