“Suberb family holiday in amazing accommodation.”

Such a wonderful peaceful and relaxing location. Three generations of our family loved every minute and didn’t want to leave. Can’t recommend highly enough.

“Carsaig House is very well-equipped and has room for all.”

A family can eat in the kitchen or the large dining room. The location is remote, so unless you like a lot of driving it's best to make your own amusements at Carsaig. There is plenty space for outdoor activities. There is a black sand beach right in front of the house.

“Amazing stay all round.”

Location is awesome with own gardens for games and beach within two minute walk as well as stunning views. House is is great mix of modern comforts with historic decoration in keeping with the island and is a fantastic space for groups. Will definitely book again.

“Great property and fantastic location.”

Amy and Sam were great hosts and were very helpful with local recommendations. The house is amazing and has everything you would need. We had a party of 11 and had more than enough space. Rooms are well presented and comfortable. Location is great for walks along the beach with plenty of local wildlife. We would highly recommend a stay at Carsaig House if you want somewhere to relax and enjoy all Mull has to offer.

“What a wonderful location.”

House amazing and very comfortable, great showers. Fab for a family holiday and beach is so safe for the children. Just lovely. Would benefit from more outdoor seating and a bbq.

“A stunning property at an amazing location, couldn't have asked for anything ...”

A stunning property at an amazing location, couldn't have asked for anything more, also a lovely couple who look after the estate, would love to return ❤❤❤

Dr Watkins July 2022

“Fantastic house in a great location.”

Everything you need for an awesome holiday. Very comfortable. Fires on the beach and games room are highlights. Kitchen exceptionally well equipped (although another freezer would be handy). Walks from the house have amazing views. Sad to leave, we loved this place.

Mr Dowse July 2022

“Lovely house and a good size for 15 of us in three generations and very comfortable.”

Amy and Sam couldn't have been more helpful: nothing was too much trouble. Could do with more outdoor furniture: only room for 8 round the table. Somewhere to stand BBQs would be nice instead of having to use them on the ground.

“Just wanted to say that our stay was incredible.”

The house feels like a home even though it is so filled with history. The house is wonderful and all my guests were super impressed.

“Stayed here in May, with three generations, to celebrate my 60th birthday.”

The accommodation was wonderful, masses of space, comfortable rooms, hot water endless. Blown away by the garden, the views and location ...but not physically by the weather, which was actually perfect for the week. Do bring your midge spray though, and remember to close the windows if the lights are on! James and Sandra helped with every little enquiry ...thanks ...and I would recommend picking some dishes up from the Lochbuie Larder, although the huge, well-equipped kitchen in the house makes cooking a pleasure. Thanks - a very special trip.

“My family and I have just returned from a fabulous holiday in Carsaig House on the wonderful island of Mull to celebrate my wife's 70th birthday.”

Carsaig House was absolutely beautiful and an excellent location for our celebration. It would be appreciated if you could pass on our thanks to the owners for allowing us to use their property and it would be apprecated if you could also pass on to the owners how helpful the housekeepers, Sam and Amy were in making the holiday so special. Anything we needed from them was provided quickly and professionally and they were such a friendly couple for whom nothing was too much trouble. This included leaving a bouquet flowers and a birthday card for my wife which was a lovely touch and much appreciated. All my family thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and declared it "the best holiday ever", with Carsaig House being the star of the show.

“Carsaig House was wonderful and we had good weather the whole week.”

We (parents) were here with three teenage children and 4 seniors (grand-parents and great-aunt and great uncle). The location is simply breath-taking. The kitchen is outstanding which is excellent given the extent to which we are all 'foodies'. Either the owner or previous tenants had left plenty of provisions (like flour, sugar, spices, herbs and baking soda), which was very much appreciated. There was an intermittent mobile signal from the house (20% of the time), so I was glad to have a land-line which worked. We would definitely recommend Carsaig House as a fabulous family retreat and you can depend on the house feeling very much like a 'home'.

The property

Wi-fi update: 40 MB download speeds, sometimes higher, throughout the entire house. Several people can work at the same time on Zoom calls, downloading etc. Also enhanced EE mobile phone coverage. Carsaig House occupies a most magical and dramatic position on the southern coast of the Isle of Mull, and enjoys far-reaching views over the sea towards the islands of Colonsay, Jura and Islay. Built in 1850 in the Georgian style, the house is complemented by a most attractive castellated walled garden to the rear. To the front the land falls away down a sloping field to the beach below, an easy walk. It is hard to overstate the quality and charm of the interior design of this luxurious house. No expense has been spared on the refurbishment of each room in its own individual way, and the ambience is one of a relaxing and peaceful but warm and welcoming family home. From the moment you step over the threshold you are immediately aware that you have entered a very special place. Over your holiday, Carsaig will work its magic and bid you farewell rested, relaxed and wondering how quickly you can return! All bedrooms, from the main master bedroom to the smaller top floor bedrooms, are high quality, appealing in their own way, and all enjoy either sea or garden views - some have both! The 'sunken' bedroom is particularly atmospheric with its two low windows and sea views. Even the two attic bedrooms are well appointed, light and comfortable and benefit from views of the sea and the walled garden. Carsaig House has been the location for films including "I Know Where I'm Going", and the famous red telephone box used by Catherine Zeta Jones in 'Entrapment', with a dramatic waterfall by its side, is a short drive from the house. The house is ideally located for visiting the sacred Isle of Iona and the Ross of Mull, with its red granite hills and fascinating coastline. Just north of the house the road takes a dramatic route over the hills to where the sea eagles live. There is a bird hide dedicated to watching for these magnificent and rare birds of prey. This perfect house is a dream of a holiday home destined to become a favourite with our regular Large Holiday House customers and new ones alike. We recommend shopping in Oban before arrival as the shops in Tobermory and Salen are some distance from the house. The island can be reached by ferry from Oban to Craignure, Lochaline to Fishnish or Kilchoan to Tobermory. EPC Rating: Band E
