Island getaway in Scotland's 'Balamory' town you can book for 25 per cent off
"Really lovely hotel with fabulous views."
A getaway at a Scottish island hotel can currently be booked at 25 per cent discount. One recent visitor described their stay as "really lovely".
The Western Isles Hotel is located in the town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull. Famous for its colourful seafront houses, the town acted as the backdrop for the iconic children's television series Balamory.
Voucher website Wowcher is currently offering an overnight stay at the Western Isles Hotel for £99, which is a discount of 25 per cent. Meanwhile, two nights can be booked for £245—a 22 per cent discount.
Dating back almost 150 years, the Western Isles Hotel benefits from panoramic views out over Tobermory harbour and the Sound of Mull. It features an on-site restaurant and a lounge and bar with bay windows.
The guest rooms themselves are traditionally styled, with visitors able to choose from either a double or a twin. There is also the option to upgrade to a harbour or sea view room.
Another upgrade option includes a £25 per person dinner allowance at the Western Isles Hotel's restaurant. The on-site eatery offers dishes such as seafood linguine, Isle of Mull langoustines, pan fried sea trout, and rack of lamb.
When you're not at the hotel, Tobermory and Mull are bursting with things to see and do. Visitors can walk along its colourful harbour-front, set out on a picturesque coastal walk with breathtaking views, visit one of the island's stunning beaches, and much more.
If a Tobermory holiday sounds intriguing, but the Western Isles Hotel does not appeal, there are many other hotels to choose from around town. Highlights include the iconic Mishnish bar and hotel and the three-star Park Lodge Hotel.
On Tripadvisor, the Western Isles Hotel itself has earned mostly positive feedback from visitors. The hotel has an average rating of 3.9 out of five based on 1,159 reviews.
A recent guest shared: "The hotel is in an excellent location on the hill above Tobermory. Great views from the breakfast room.
"The room room was comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff.
"The breakfast was great. The hotel has easy access to the town where there is a good range of shops and cafes."
A more mixed review states: "The hotel is a very grand old hotel overlooking the harbour in Tobermory. The views over the harbour and sea are excellent.
"The hotel however is showing its age and looks tired. The restaurant and service was OK but not great.
"For the experience we thought it was expensive."
Another visitor wrote: "Really lovely hotel with fabulous views from a light and airy bar/restaurant. Staff were professional and friendly.
"Our room overlooked the bay and had a kitchen and a small patio. Lots of room!"
