Self catering cottage holiday in Tobermory. On the beautiful Isle of Mull |
A few words about the house.
It is a short walk from the house to all the amenities and places of interest in Tobermory, it is also an ideal centre from which to explore the many places of natural beauty and historic interest on this wonderful island. For the more energetic there is Ben More or the volcano (now extinct!) to climb, Iona, Ulva, the Treshnish isles or the mainland to visit by the local ferries. Cycles and fishing gear can be hired from Browns just along the road. Nature lovers can take boat trips from the bay to look at sealife and birds whilst the BBC Spring Watch sea eagles are just up the road at Loch Forsa.
Excellent restaurants, live music and pubs are all within 10 minutes walk, (a one minute walk to the best fish restaurant we know - just across the road!). |

The house is nearly as old as Tobemory and sits on the waterfront, overlooking the bay. It is the only dwelling house on Main Street with a sunny private garden overlooking the ever changing seascape with the comings and goings of fishing boats, wildlife trips, private yachts and ferries. Otters and seals are frequent visitors to the bay with the occaisional dolphin and Minke whale venturing into the harbour.

The entrance porch is light and sunny leading to a cloak and boot room and loo with wash hand basin. The lower hall has further coat hanging facilities and the kitchen and parlour lead off from it. |

The kitchen is quaint but has an electric cooker, fridge freezer, microwave, washing machine, tumble dryer and a double ceramic sink. It has a small table and 4 chairs. |
| The parlour on the ground floor is at the front of the house overlooking the front garden and Tobermory bay. It gets the morning sun and has a cheerful feeling. There's a large farmhouse table and 8 chairs, a rocking chair and bed settee, pine cupboards and hi-fi music centre. It also has a log burning stove and a pulley operated clothes dryer on the ceiling - fantastic for drying the wet stuff. |

The sitting room on the middle floor has fantastic views of the bay and a is great vantage point for watching wildlife and the changing weather. There is a television with Sky TV, DVD & VHS player and a small hi-fi. |
| A large collection of books and some dvds are available for guests. The cello travels with me so plaese bring your own if you want to play. |

The bedroom on the middle floor has twin beds, a wash hand basin. Like all the rooms, the ceilings are high and the doors are wide - a fine sense of Victorian spaciousness. |
|
The family bedroom on the top floor has one double bed and one single bed. The bathroom is right next door. |
 |
 |
The master bedroom has commanding views over just about everything. The harbour master used this room during the Second World War. It has a double bed and a wash basin and usual furniture.
The dawning sun comes in this window it’s the perfect way to wake up. |

This is the view from the bathroom window of a spring sunrise - what better way could there be to start the day? |
