Glengorm Castle ReviewThis is the premier place to stay on the island, and the address is imbued with the most character. Built in 1860 and much restored, the castle is on the northern tip of Mull, near Tobermory. It overlooks the Atlantic and is surrounded by green hills, forests, and lakes, with views of the Outer Hebrides from the rooms. At night a roaring fire blazes while guests enjoy fine vintages of Scotch from the well-stocked bar. The bedrooms are luxuriously furnished, with both taste and style. Each room has been individually decorated. Guests meet fellow guests in the dining room, enjoying local produce for breakfast. Later in the day guests either go sightseeing or enjoy bird-watching, hiking, or fishing. The hotel has a Victorian stone bathing pool constructed in the early 1900s at water's edge. On the grounds is a stone-built structure that is home to the Glengorm Coffee Shop, selling freshly baked goods and excellent lunches often made with produce from the castle farm. It adjoins an art gallery displaying the works of local artists. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
