It is definitely not to be missed and will not disappoint.Amazing stay at Garragh Mhor! - Jan S It was altogether a very relaxing guest house where you can just take your time to stop and be present.Breakfast the next day was just as good and our check out process was easy.We were very sad to leave Garragh Mhor and definitely will be back and highly recommend a stay here.Other great things to do whilst staying are dinner or a lunch at the local pub, The Oyster Bar, a visit to the local folk museum, and take the foot ferry to Easdale Island and visit the local museum and art gallery.Another standout highlight of our stay was the 2hr Sea Fari Adventure. All our choices were simply delicious the next morning and set us up for the day.Unfortunately the weather wasn’t that great on our full day there however we chilled and chatted to Jan over breakfast and took our time getting out the door. My daughter chose the granola and fruit with coconut yoghurt and I had Daz’s overnight oats to start followed by the full vegetarian breakfast and shakshuka. In our eyes they did not do justice as this wonderful gem andsuper hosts, Jan and Daz should hands down get 11 out of 10 as everything was perfect.We received a very warm welcome and Jan gave us a heads up on where everything was, and say us down and went through the scrumptious breakfast menu so we could put our order in for the next morning.
