About this villa rental

Bad Daraich is a historic gem situated above the world-famous harbour town of Tobermory. Enjoy completely unspoiled views across the Sound of Mull, only five minutes from the Main Street. Built in 1860 and having just undergone an extensive renovation bringing it up to modern standards. There is space for everyone to enjoy it's charm, whether in front of the log-fire with a book or in the games room, all the family will be catered for!

Upon entering the house, you are met with an original Victorian tiled hallway, this gives a flavour of things to come. The living room is set out with two luxurious red velvet sofas, and custom-made bay-window seating, there is a log burning stove and a 50inch tv with the full Sky package. The dining room has comfortable seating for 10, around a grand oak table. Surrounded by antique furnishings this is a great room to enjoy meals with a view. The kitchen is fully equipped with a range cooker, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle, and coffee machine. There is ample storage and seating around the island.

Also, on the ground floor you will find a games room; with a full size pool table. The laundry room is equipped with washing machine and tumble dryer as well as drying pulleys. There is also a beautiful bathroom at the foot of the stairs, this has traditional styling and features a rainfall shower over the bath.

As you climb the staircase we have five bedrooms, two of which have Kingsize beds and en-suite bathrooms. There is a twin room, and a further two large en-suite bedrooms at the front of the house which have breath-taking views; one of these has a Superking bed, and the other is a twin with twin single beds.

Tobermory has a variety of shops, restaurants and bars right on the waterfront. They are all within walking distance and provide a taste of the island's talents all in one location. You can park for free anywhere along the main street, including outside the waterfront apartments building. If it is a busy time don't worry, there is a large main stay car park at the far end of the street also free of charge. The apartment is opposite the famous Cafe Fish and well established Mishnish bar so you will not have to go far to be looked after.

    Lovely house with lots of space and stunning views over Tobermory Bay. Walking distance to the town and lovely quiet place that we made our home base while exploring the islands.

    A beautiful house with the gorgeous views. The house was warm and the beds were comfortable. The unlimited supply of logs was very much appreciated. The kitchen and the appliances were well used and I guess that replacing items such as missing wine glasses is not as straightforward as on the mainland. This did not spoil our stay. Contact with our host was limited to a message from the house keeper before we departed.

    Property was well equipped, views from some bedrooms stunning. Facilities in the house very good. We had a lovely few days and would recommend for a big family.

    Bad Daraich is a lovely large stone built house, overlooking Tobermory, with views that would be hard to beat anywhere in the world. We were fortunate to have fantastic weather too. The house has everything you'd need, including a pool table for days or nights in if the weather is not so good. The living room has a lovely bay window with seating which allows you to take in the views. There is a large dining room which easily accommodates 10-12 people, and a large kitchen and utility room. We'd have liked to have a larger fridge/freezer or a separate beer/wine fridge as with a large group of people there was a lot of food and drinks to accommodate. The bedrooms are large and well furnished, with the 2 front rooms again offering spectacular views. The only slight criticism is that some of the doors either had locks that didn't work, or doors that wouldn't stay closed, though these are small things that can easily be fixed I'm sure. The building has a large garden with some wooden seating and again the only slight criticism is that we could have done with some better outside seating, perhaps with sun loungers or deck chairs which would be more comfortable than the wooden benches. There is plenty of car parking space in the garden and around the house. These small things did not detract from our holiday at all, and we'd recommend this property to anyone wanting to spend time in a quiet, but extremely picturesque location. There are nice restaurants, shops and bars within a 5-10 minute walk. The price we paid was reasonable for such a large property, accommodating 9 people in our group and, when broken down into a price per person, it was very reasonable. If we are back in Tobermory we'd definitely consider using Bad Daraich again, and would recommend it to anyone, particularly large groups of family or friends.
