Absolutely superb Friday supper club. Mussels were fantastic, as was the venison and rhubarb Pavlova to finish. Unbelievable.

Ate here whilst staying for 3 nights in Tobermory, and it was the best meal we ate. Filling, tasty, well cooked and presented. Recommended.

We ate here two nights in a row in early August. The menu changed each night so there were new things to try. We gelt some of the food, such as the starters, were over priced for the portion (£8.50 for two small croquettes) but they were delicious. However, the slices of cake we got for pudding were easily big enough for two (the picture shows two half slices on one plate) and each only £6.50. The cakes and puddings we had were all top notch A*** (esp choc ganache) so worth coming in just for coffee and cake even if you don't have a meal. We booked in advance via WhatsApp for 6pm dinner: Wed night it was quiet but the Thursday was heaving so glad we booked. The food we had was c. £20 for a main course and was really well made and delicious. Portions aren't huge but were sufficient. There isn't a kids menu so the first night we shared two meals between the three of us and had pudding, but the second night we had a main each. The Island Cafe is cheaper than the Coll Hotel and has a nice home made, welcoming feel to it with local art and two linked rooms, one with sofas and tables and the other just tables. The serving staff were nice young people. My partner also had coffee and cake here and the cakes really are very good (I hear the Chelsea buns are to die for too) and my coffee-snob partner says this is the best coffee available on Coll.

All just ok, not bad, not amazing. Price was fine for early evening meal. I’d mark higher had the seafood been what I was expecting (amazing - considering it’s right on the water and in the seafood capital of Scotland). It wasn’t bad it was just like every other mussels chips and bread I’ve had (again this was a tasty meal it just wasn’t wow) and the calamari was slightly chewy. Portions were good and staff nice however the restaurant wasn’t that busy and the staff wanted to seat the guests they did have close together so felt like I was at the same table as strangers, I didn’t enjoy. It’s not only this place that does this it’s just a small bug bear of mine.

Amazing wee cafe with lovely service. Great breakfast rolls and cakes. We came here 2 of the 3 days we were staying in Tobermory. My only wee suggestion would be to take payment for sit-in orders at the time of ordering rather than after people have ate. When we got there it was quite quiet but when we were leaving it was much busier and we had to queue for a long time just to pay. I understand when it’s busy this can happen but would be avoided with only having to queue once when ordering and pay at that point so you can just leave when done. ☺️

Highly recommend. Good simple fare but really this is a great hal day activity. We drove about 10 minutes south of Oban for the ferry. I think there may also be a bus. In summer the ferry goes whenever it's full so nearly every 15 min. It takes 5 minutes to cross and honestly it took longer e purchase the tkts via app. The walk to the tea house is about an hour. Very hilly but paved or packed gravel. Castle an additional 20 min walk. Tea house has indoor and outdoor picnic tables. Bathroom. Cakes definitely worth the walk. We got in kinda late like 2 and many foods sold out. Soup and crusty roll was awesome

What a meal! It was unforgettable. The food was divine, the view glorious and the service was brilliant. This is one of the best meals I've ever had. Simple, yet exotic and flavoursome. The soup even had flowers from the garden in it!

A chef who knows how to balance their flavours and does it well. Innovative dishes that surprise and please. Front of house staff that care and are knowledgable (and know when to go and ask when they don’t). What’s not to love! Two minutes from Oban centre is no excuse not to go!

Was expecting great quality fresh food . But very disappointed . Looking forward to local mussels but off the menu . Scallops were fresh but the sauce let it down and the bread was stale and expensive . Both in the end had fish and chips , that was two very small pieces of fish each , couldn't hardly see any fish , most likely frozen due to the texture and appearance . Staff were excellent and beer was good

We stayed for three nights at the Pennyghael Inn while we explored the Isle of Mull and visited Iona. It was promoted as being open for food all day, but we discovered on arrival that breakfast had to be pre-ordered and was just tea and toast. There was no restaurant service before 5pm and no one available at the inn during the day. Our room was only serviced one day which was also disappointing

The road between Ulva Ferry and Calgary is beautiful and half way you will find Croft 3 . We had a surprisingly good dinner in this special place in nature . Very nice service . The whole setting is warm and special !
