The Cabin, located on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, is part of the historic Achnadrish House, a former shooting lodge dating back to the 17th century. This charming self-catering accommodation is designed to comfortably host up to three guests, featuring an open-plan bedroom/sitting room, a well-equipped kitchen, and a bathroom with a shower over the bath. Its superb location allows visitors to explore the breathtaking beaches and pristine wilderness of the area, while still being conveniently situated just five miles from the vibrant town of Tobermory, known for its delightful eateries and shops.
Originally built as an extension to Achnadrish House to house the owner's collection of mechanical toys for local children, the Cabin boasts a private entrance and a small outdoor seating area that offers stunning views of the wilds of North Mull. The property is heated by a wood chip boiler, ensuring guests enjoy a warm and comfortable stay with 24-hour hot water. Nearby, there are numerous walking tracks, including one that leads directly from the house into the rugged landscapes of North Mull, making it an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts.
The surrounding rural area is rich in wildlife, with frequent sightings of owls, eagles, red deer, and other birds of prey. The nearest amenities, including a shop and pub, are located two miles away in the picturesque village of Dervaig, while the renowned Calgary beach is just a 20-minute drive from the Cabin. Although Achnadrish is accessible via bus, having a car is recommended for exploring the island's many attractions. Guests can also enjoy good Wi-Fi throughout their stay, enhancing their experience in this tranquil setting.
