The spacious Keeper’s Cottage comprises an entrance hall, a cosy lounge with television and a decorative fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen and dining room with wood-burning stove, two double bedrooms and one twin bedroom, all with en suite bathrooms. While the original features have been retained, the cottage has been beautifully renovated, providing a comfortable stay in the historic building.
Bed linen and towels are provided and beds will be made up for your arrival. Heating, electricity and Wi-Fi are also included, but as the cottage is completely off-grid, please use them considerately. The floors are the original flagstone and wooden floorboards, so bring slippers or indoor shoes to keep your feet warm. Mobile phone reception on Mull and at Rubha nan Gall is limited, but best with Vodafone, EE and O2.
