What customers say

This exceptionally clean, well-maintained site offers stunning loch & mountain views, with many pitches having excellent vantage points. Facilities, including spotless washrooms, are frequently praised. The handy on-site shop & adjacent pub/restaurant are popular. Despite mentions of midges & single-track roads, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many keen to return.

Local attractions

Take the road west… wild Ulva is an island with only a few residents but plenty of ruins, and accessible by a ferry just over an hour's drive from the site. Also to the west is the gorgeous Eas Fors Waterfall (an hour and 15 minutes' drive) and the white-sand Calgary beach (an hour and a half). Stay east and there are castles in store… Aros (50 minutes) is a 13th-century castle built by an old lord and was once a key stronghold for the isles. Built in the 1860s, Glengorm Castle (an hour and 20 minutes) is pretty grand too, on the northern tip of Mull. It’s easy to spend a day just exploring the main street in Tobermory (an hour and 10 minutes) too, as it has a distillery, harbour, catch and release aquarium and shops with crafts and chocolate. Get to know the rural way of life on Mull at the 1500-acre farm at Ardalanish Isle of Mull Weavers (25 minutes), which has a farm shop with products from Hebridean sheep.
