The Island Setting: 

The Isle of Mull is one of the largest Inner Hebridean islands off the West Coast of Scotland.  It has a beautiful and varied landscape – reflecting in a sense the West Coast in miniature.  With dramatic coastline surrounding bare, wild mountains; ancient Atlantic oak woodland; farm land; croft land; open hill and moor; peat bog; geometrically shaped off shore islands; roadsides ribboned with wild flowers and spectacular views at every corner; rocky inlets and sheltered coves, last but by no means least some brilliant white sand beaches with crystal clear waters.

The diversity in landscape, and in habitat, ensures plenty of interest for observing birds and other wildlife – as in a relatively small area, like here on Treshnish Farm, you can encounter numerous different species.  Mull has become famous for its resident sea eagles, as there are several successful breeding pairs on the island – and if you are lucky you may see one here at Treshnish.   There is an RSPB viewing Hide between here and Tobermory. 

We have a ongoing record of what wildlife can be seen here - please follow the link to access this impressive body of information.

Just under an hours scenic drive from the ferry at Craignure, this unspoiled corner of the Isle of Mull has a lot to offer the discerning holidaymaker! 

The Farm Setting:

Treshnish Point is in the north west of the island and overlooks the tip of Calgary Bay.  With nearly 4 miles of accessible coastline to explore – it takes in views from Ulva, Gometra, Iona, Treshnish Islands, Coll, Tiree, Rum, Eigg, Muck and Skye – and from 'the Cruachan' you can see as far as the Uists on a clear day and up to Knoydart and Torridon. Within a few miles of Treshnish there are several beaches, (Calgary, as well as others) - hidden, and not so hidden, to discover and we are happy to point you in their direction. 

The Beach:

The most well known of our local beaches is Calgary Beach (voted one of the World's Top 50 Beaches) - with its clear, shallow turquoise waters lapping on sparkling white shell sands, perfect for paddling and for swimming.  At low tide a wide expanse of beach provides the perfect place for picnics, building sand castles and beach games.  There are nesting sand martins to watch (at a distance please!), oyster catchers and shelduck to name but a few - and you might see a fin or two from dolphins or basking shark.

Places to go:

There are pretty villages (such as Dervaig) and Tobermory, the island's colourful 'capital' with its uniquely painted seafront and good selection of shops, restaurants, a small Museum and also, now the home of Mull Theatre  as well as An Tobar, the venue for art exhibitions and great musical events throughout the season.  Mull has two interesting Castles open to the public. Duart Castle, a fortified stronghold in a dramatic location overlooking the Sound of Mull and Torosay which is close to Craignure, with the Mull Railway and a well renowned Highland garden.

The Cottages:

Please the buttons above to read individual cottage descriptions.

There are eight properties in total: the four Treshnish Cottages, sit adjacent to the farm while the additional four Haunn Cottages are located one mile further along the unsealed farm track, in a more remote setting.  Set on a raised peninsula and surrounded by open farmland, these comfortable dwellings afford exceptional views over fields and cliffs to islands beyond. 

Walking and wildlife:

Enjoy the luxury of not driving and explore this scenic area on foot - there is access from each cottage doorstep in every direction for walking -  the views are spectacular!  You might choose to follow a sheep path along miles of dramatic rocky coastline not far from any of the cottages, investigating hidden coves and magical rock pools whilst looking out for Gannets diving; or you can walk out onto the environmentally important hill, moor and valuable peat bog habitats above the cottages, with opportunities to watch for wildlife at every turn (Red deer, Hen Harrier, Golden and White Tailed Eagle, Grouse) – for details have a look at our Birdlog.  There are many Scheduled Historic monuments on the farm which you will come across too as you explore.
