The cottage is only a thirty minute drive from the main ferry terminal at Craignure. Its rural location with two other similar cottages in a valley adjacent to the golf course means that you can be assured of a very peaceful stay. However picturesque Tobermory, the main town on the island, is only a short walk away with its wide variety of pubs, shops and restaurants.
After dark, the lack of any light pollution means that on a clear night the stars can be amazingly bright and the only noise will be the occasional call of an owl. By day you can enjoy the view from the dining room and lounge and watch the ponies come down to the burn to drink. In the warmer weather the patio furniture provides a quiet and private place for a relaxing meal or cup of coffee. A short stroll will take you to the Golf Course from where you can take in the spectacular panoramic views of Tobermory Bay and the Sound of Mull.
The Isle of Mull is the third largest of the Hebridean islands and many would contest the most beautiful. It has a mild climate due to the effects of the Gulf Stream. There are over 300 miles of rugged, rocky coastline as well as moors and mountains, picturesque lochs, sandy beaches, historic castles and wild rugged countryside. Mull is an ideal bird watching destination. Christened 'Eagle Island' by Bird Watching magazine, it is one of the best places in the world to see the Golden Eagle as well as the White Tailed Sea Eagle. The Island of Iona with its historic abbey is accessible via a short ferry ride from Mull.
"The Highlands and northern Islands are all about mountains, sea, moors, lochs and wide, empty, exhilarating space. This area is one of Europe's last great wildernesses, and it's mind-blowingly beautiful. It's the north and west, where the mountains and sea collide, that exhaust superlatives."
