The Island of Mull

The Isle of Mull is a place to unwind, to enjoy peace and tranquillity, breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife and a variety of activities. Having the choice to do as much or as little as you wish is the essence of a good holiday. Some of the options available are:

• Take a boat trip to Staffa, The Treshnish Isles or Iona.
• Climb the island Munro - all 3170 feet of it!
• Chill out on the white sands of Calgary.
• Take a wildlife watching trip for your best chance of viewing otters, golden and sea eagles, porpoise, red deer, seals and whales as well as the huge variety of flora and fauna for which Mull is famous.
• Go pony trekking
• Whale searching
• Loch fishing
• Spoil a good walk with a round of golf on either of two courses both of which have beautiful settings and panoramic views.
• Take the train to Torosay Castle and gardens
• Visit Duart Castle, the ancient seat of the Clan MacLean of Mull
• Visit the Bird of Prey Centre near Craignure.
• Commune with furry creatures at the children's farm
• Indulge yourselves at the chocolate factory
• Discover the Mull of the past at the museum
• Enjoy the latest exhibition at An Tobar Arts Centre or maybe catch a concert.
• Watch a play at the theatre
• Visit the distillery, try a wee dram
• Browse in craft shops selling goods by local craftsmen
• Visit galleries showcasing local artists
• Enjoy a selection of locally sourced real food, e.g. shellfish, local beef, lamb or pork at one of the many eating establishments.
• Explore the coast (we've got 300 miles, - 480km. of it) much of it wild, rugged, full of surprises, keep an eye to the ocean for many different seabird species and the occasional fin - porpoises, sharks, sunfish, dolphins, whales, including orca are seen occasionally! A far travelled leatherback turtle (they wander as far North as the Arctic Circle) paid us a visit in 2004.
• Mull is a Mecca for geologists with a great variety of formations from different eras in the formation of the planet.
• Are you fascinated by archaeology and history? We have duns, brochs, forts, standing stones, scores of ruined villages, each with a story to tell.

Finally, stories about constant rain and wind in the west of Scotland should be discarded. During the summer of 2007 when much of the UK was under water, we had a near drought until July when a small shower or two improved conditions. Sunburn is a risk on Mull, bring the factor 15, but also bring the wellies just in case!
If you are looking for peace and tranquillity amongst spectacular scenery with the opportunity to do as you please, then look no further.

Cill-Mhoire Lodges - all graded STB 3 Star

We are a family owned business looking after and maintaining Cill-Mhoire lodges personally. Our lodges have all the amenities that you would expect and more and are set in the extensive gardens of our own home outside the village of Dervaig with access to a village store, post office and a hotel serving excellent food throughout the day.

We operate a No Smoking policy in the lodges in line with current Scottish legislation.

We accept dogs, with well behaved owners, subject to certain conditions. Please discuss when booking.

All lodges are fully insulated so they are cool in summer and warm in winter; there are heaters in all rooms if required.

The lodges each have an outdoor decking area, patio set and barbeque and have full disabled access and facilities. Midgeaters are located in the garden to ensure that any barbeque you may have will hopefully be midge free.

Walking maps and guides as well as tourist information leaflets for all the local places to visit are provided.

Rowan and Sycamore Lodges each have a washing machine. Unfortunately we are temporarily unable to provide a washing machine for Beech and Willow Lodges. We have a travel cot and high chair available on request. All power, linen and towels are included in the tariff.

We look forward to meeting you & trust that you will enjoy your stay at 'Cill-Mhoire'.
