Its perfect for a short break, lots of nice places to eat both in Tobermory and elsewhere, nice walks, great wildlife and great estates/castles to visit. There is a bit of driving though but there are some lovely cottages and its not so far you’ll spend ages travelling. Obviously with the West coast you take your chances a bit with weather and midges but I’ve never been much bothered by them in Mull. eta for me the best time to visit is either autumn or spring and often the weather is somewhat better and the tourists/midges less prevalent.
