Suidhe Farm Cottages

Suidhe Farm Cottages is a small group of two bedroom holiday cottages, located a mile west of Bunessan on the Isle of Mull. The cottages are set in grazing land, within easy walking distance of the village of Bunessan, and conveniently placed for visits to the historic island of Iona and the numerous sandy beaches that can be found on this part of the island. The cottages were built in 2009 using modern materials but in a traditional style, and are furnished and equipped to a high standard, including Sky telephone and WiFi access. The cottages are the perfect place to stay if what you seek for your holiday is relaxation in comfortable surroundings, a slow pace of life, and easy access to the rugged but beautiful countryside that is the Island of Mull.

The cottages will be available for the 2010 season and are open all year round; although most visitors to Mull come during the summer months, there is much to see and do at all times of the year. Christmas and New Year can be a particularly magical time to visit the island; the pace of life is even slower at that time of year, and it is a perfect time to get away from it all.

The weather on Mull can be mild and sunny for long periods, but can also be challenging at times – there are approximately 20 days of gales per year; however, as you get to know Mull, you will find that the changing weather, and the changing moods and sometimes startlingly beautiful lighting that it can bring to the landscape, is one of the great attractions of the island. The western end of the Ross of Mull receives about 50 inches of rain annually, which is about half of the rainfall that can be expected on the rest of the island; this makes it one of the driest places on the west of Scotland. The Ross is also close to the island of Tiree, which has more hours of sunshine per year than anywhere else in the UK. If you come looking for sunbathing on hot sandy beaches, then you are likely to be disappointed; however, on a sunny day, the sea and the sky can create blues and greens that the Mediterranean would rightly envy. If you come prepared and equipped for a variable climate, then you will find that you are able to be out and about walking or wildlife spotting on most days; if the weather is not so kind, then relaxing in a warm cottage and watching the world go by is a good antidote to the stresses of modern life.

The cottages have been built and equipped with consideration for the environment; the high insulation levels used in their construction mean that they keep warm and snug at all times of year. The site has its own waste water filtration system; in order to keep this system operating correctly, we provide a range of ecologically friendly cleaning products for use by our guests. We encourage the recycling of plastic bottles, cans, glass, and paper, and provide bins for this purpose.

The cottages are all non-smoking.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome; as the cottages are set in active grazing land, consideration for the farm animals is appreciated.

We look forward to welcoming you to your stay in the Isle of Mull !
