high price lack of breakfast
I have to say, the prices felt a bit steep (even for a captive audience on an island). we forked over £776 for three nights. breakfast wasn't even included at that price. It was an extra £10 per person each day. i guess i am just naive about mull's accommodation costs since everywhere seems pricey.
