Glengorm Castle

To be brutally honest we had no idea what to expect from our visit to Glengorm Castle but as you can see from the various photographs it is a stunning building in the most perfect location and we absolutely loved staying there. Within two hours of being there I was walking around the lawns and a Golden Eagle flew overhead and hovered for a while on the sea winds coming in over the headland. That was worth 5 stars alone! The rooms are very comfortable as was the bed and the towels are large and fluffy, just perfect. The toiletries are first class and you have everything you could possibly need within the wing itself, plus private parking of course. Which to be fair is shared a little with the ground staff but it was actually great to see them doing their thing and looking after the place. Like I said, we didn't know what to expect and I suppose having just come from an outstanding 5 star hotel surrounded by people the whole time to a 5 day self-catering stay in the West Wing of this castle venue it was , of course, completely different from being waited on hand and foot, so took a little adapting to. When we arrived there was no one around so as we were a little early we went to the nearby Glengorm Coffee Shop and had a brilliant lunch there. I would thoroughly recommend the Shepherds Pie. Also the service was great and the staff were lovely. When we went back to the castle there was still no one around except for a lady we could see through a window sitting at a computer. She clearly saw us but remained seated even though it was obvious I was wandering around like a lost sheep as I didn't know where to go. I did think that was a little odd and maybe she could have at least told us where to go. Then I remembered the lady at the coffee shop said that the West Wing was down the side of the building and had its own entrance where we should be able to let ourselves in. We went round and as we got there a lady appeared from the inside the castle to greet us and that was Pam. She was lovely and after a quick show round pretty much left us to it. She explained that the wi-fi was rubbish and to be fair, it was as I couldn't even get into it. Unfortunately, so was 4g which I could only get in one corner of the room or upstairs. So if you are looking for peace and quiet then this is the place to be. I wasn't too bothered by that as it was good to be off the grid for a while but, like most people, we did need to check in with family of course, which we did mostly away from the castle to get a better signal. That said, I can't imagine anyone booking a place like this where the main reason for staying is great TV and internet. Sadly, we didn't see Pam or anyone else for the rest of the week, it would have been nice to maybe have a chat at some point about the castle and its history rather than just read about it. That felt a bit strange but I suppose most people go there for the solitude and want to be left alone. To be fair, Pam did say if you need

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 apartment inside the castle. It was spacious, luxurious and really special. There was a small turret room on the 3rd floor of the apartment 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.

Very interesting stay, our whole family had a wonderful relaxing time in this fantastic property.

A wonderful overnight stay in this amazing location with stunning sea and clifftop views.Very comfortable rooms,friendly staff and a first class breakfast made it a wonderful experience which I look forward to repeating in the future.

Charming hosts, beautiful castle, spacious and tastefully decorated room and bathroom. Nice grounds and surrounding countryside. It was also a totally different experience: no locks even on the front door, there is a pool table, you can sit in the lounge or library, the hosts even have a wide selection of whisky downstairs for guests to enjoy. Breakfast was delicious and varied. The drive to the castle is not for the faint hearted though, especially at night and you have to go out for dinner as there is no restaurant.

Glengorm is stunning. The staff was very friendly. The room was well appointed and looked over a field of highland cattle then on to the sea. I felt relaxed from the time I walked in. Can’t wait to stay again, and will recommend to friends and family.

Unbelievable place. The greatest stay my wife and I have had and with kind, interesting hosts.
