Interestingly different breakfasts which were very nice. Lovely location, friendly hosts, peace and quiet.

I hadn't read enough beforehand so my expectation was veggie options at Breakfast not that, in fact, there are no non-veggie dishes. I'm happy to report that this was not a problem .. I chose something different on each of our 3 days .. because the written descriptions were such that I wanted to try them all. Everything lived up to their "stories" .. I'll limit my f comments to just 3 .. Overnight Soaked Oats .. superb .. I'm a convert and have started doing them at home ; Mushroom Omelette .. WOW .. I disabled my hob a year ago so will have to wait until next Garragh Mhor stay ; Scrambled Eggs .. I am constantly trying to perfect these but will never achieve this standard .. I'll be spying on the process next time. And, a special mention (never thought I'd hear myself say this) to veggie sausages which were lovely. The location and immediately surrounding environment are beautiful .. and, any argument that easy access to Seil diminishes its sense of "islandness" falls on stony (or slatey) ground. We have visited 65 of Scotland's 72 inhabited islands and, with only a very few debatable exceptions, Seil feels no less unique and separated. Garragh Mhor feels homely but in a comfy and modernly appointed way. Everything works as required .. rooms are bright and airy and my bed was perfect .. I know this can't always be so, but very much like my own. AND, if it is convenient power points you are after .. Garragh Mhor has them in abundance .. and, wifi was flawless. Back on location .. no need to travel far for great food .. it doesn't get much better than Oyster Bar, 5 minutes walk from Garragh Mhor, and The Puffer, on Easdale .. at the end of an "arduous" (3 minute) Transatlantic journey with helpful and chatty ferrymen. Finally .. our hosts? .. Janette and Darren .. charming and welcoming and hugely knowledgeable on health, wellbeing and healthy eating ..

Stay too short .. if I'd known what we were in for .. would have booked in for twice as long

Garragh Mhor is a wonderful find on Easdale opposite Seil Island. My room and en-suite were very cosy and the bed was very comfortable. The whole place is quirkily stylish, the vegetarian breakfast was huge and delicious. No TVs and a thoroughly relaxing stay. The hosts were delightful and full of local information. I can thoroughly recommend a stay here. Thank you.
