Property DescriptionCouples looking for a romantic honeymoon cottage or a quiet retreat should find exactly what they are looking for in this neat, well equipped little property. From its idyllic peaceful setting the views are quite stunning and there are acres of rambling grounds around the cottage supporting an abundance of plant and animal life — reed warblers which are relatively rare have been observed from the cottage.
A short walk through the fields takes you to the shoreline with its interesting rock pools and seabirds.
The island of Mull can take at least a week to explore, there is so much to see and do, but should you wish to go further afield there are Iona, Staffa and the Treshnish Isles all within easy sailing distance. The crossing to the island of Iona is just eight miles down the road.
The old stone byre next door is ideal for mountain bikes or walking gear should you require storage space or a covered drying area.
