Our Holiday Croft Cottages are situated on the
Morvern Peninsula
overlooking
the Isle of Mull with spectacular views across the Sound of Mull.
This is the ideal get away for peace and tranquillity.
The Peninsula of Morvern is frequently by-passed by visitors to the Scottish
Highlands, and partly for this reason it offers an isolated and unspoilt
wilderness rich in flora and fauna. It is home to certain rare species
of wild life, and visitors are requested to respect the environment as
the natural habitat of a wide variety of living things. Most of the common
forest and hill bird species can be found, and you might even see a golden
eagle from Mull. Roe deer, pine martens and otters are visible from the
cottages, red deer on the hills and grey seals along the coast.
The Glasdrum Trust croft cottages are situated below 2.5 acres of mixed
woodland and enclosed by a ring fence.
The cottages date back before the 1745 rebellion, and restoration work
which took place in 1984 ensured the buildings remained as close as possible
to the original design.
The walls are of dry stone and the round corners on
Crofters cottage are testimony to their age.
New roofs were built with slate from the quarry at nearby Ballachulish.
Other aspects of the dwellings have undergone modernisation to ensure
visitors comfort. For example the original stone fireplaces have been
enhanced by the addition of wood burning stoves and pine boarding has
been added.
All self catering Cottages are situated at least 50 yards
apart.
Drimnin is an excellent place to enjoy a change from the usual routine
of life and have a good rest.
A small slip at the end of the road and a sheltered bay, is ideal for
those who would like to bring a boat and do some fishing.
For walkers, there are many walks possible varying in distance and difficulty,
walks along the rocky shore, through the forest or on the moor land hills.
Also a foot ferry runs every Monday and Friday from Drimnin to Tobermory
on the Isle of Mull, returning after approximately three hours.
