Mike, Jane and the girls are genuinely wonderful traditional Scottish hosts. We arrived to a large clean en suite room and this provided an excellent base to explore Mull. They have 3 adorable labradors that are very well behaved in very good shape.

We woke on the first morning to an amazing sight of red deer in the back garden from the bedroom window. One was a large stag with brilliant antlers. We spent saturday on Mull with the local wildlife guide David Woodhouse from Mull Wildlife expeditions (Britains longest serving wildlife guide). This was an experience not to be missed and even in March we saw Sea Eagles, Golden Eagles, Hen Harriers, Great Northern Divers, Otters, Deer and many more. We saw a pair of Golden eagles displaying and 'interacting' with a sea eagle. The backdrop of dramatic cliffs and forrests rounded of a great expedition.

Arriving back to the B&B we were greated with a dram of whisky and a blazing hot fire to dry ourselves off. They do not serve dinners however they were happy to recommend a selection of good restaurants for an evening meal. The bed was firm and comfortable and everything was clean and well presented.

Possibly the highlight of the stay were the incredible breakfasts - a selection of cereals, prunes, strawberries and gratefruit with fresh coffee. This was just the starter. The main part of breakfast was excellent local produce including smoked salmon and eggs or a large fry up of everything you could want. Finally you had the option of Mike's special dish of rice. This dish was influenced by his prolonged stay in the far east on business with a famous hotel chain and should not be missed if you like spicy food.

All in all - an excellent place to stay at a fair rate. We will be back when we are next on Mull.

I have stayed at Achnadrish House several times over the last few years and it really is like going back to see old family. The house is the dream Scottish Highlands country house and you really don't want to leave when you get there.

If you love dogs - this is the place for you. Meg, Zoe and the lovely and shy Molly will give you a very warm welcome, along with the hosts Mike and Jane of course!

The rooms are warm cosy and Mike and Jane provide very personal touches to make sure you are very comfortable. I found a lovely furry water bottle waiting for me in the bed on a cold February night - bliss!

Mike Story has many tales to tell and welcomes you to use his wonderful home as your own. The velvet massive sofas are legendary and coupled with a dram and the open fire - you may think you have died and gone to heaven.

If you like walking, there is a stunning walk at the back of the house and the dogs will be more than happy to show you the way.

This is a place you would like to keep secret - but maybe it's time to share it with a few more like minded folk!

Enjoy when you discover it!

“What a find!”

Having never been to Mull before, we weren't sure what to expect. We guessed walks in breathtaking scenery, fresh air, great seafood - we got it all thanks to our amazing hosts at Achnadrish House. Not only was the accomodation better than some boutique hotels we have stayed in, Jane and Mike were fantastic with local info. The bed was comfy and toasty, the breakfast was gorgeous and the wee dram in front of the fire very welcome. The whole place just oozes 'welcome'. So much so, we didn't want to leave. Make the booking! You won't regret it.

My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in August and it was fantastic. The house is beautifully decorated and in a very peaceful location just 15 mins drive from Tobermory. Mike and Jane were the perfect hosts and it was really nice to talk to locals about the island and the wildlife. This is definitely one of the nicest places we have stayed and I fully recommend it to anyone wanting to stay on Mull.

The weather was "challenging" during my stay, but the accomodation and host was not.
From the start I was made to feel welcome and at ease. It was an idyll away from the "realities" of every day. Relaxing on the comfortable sofas beside the blazing fire, after a long walk, was heaven. And the bedrooms are very pretty looking out over Mull countryside. They are extremely comfortable,so much so, it is hard to rise for breakfast; but worth it as the host certainly spoils his guests with the quality of breakfast and genial banter. I would recommend the Thai breakfast myself.
I hope to return one day and be it raining or sunny on Mull, I know that I have discovered an idyllic bolthole. So why am I sharing it??
