Welcome to The Smithy
The Smithy offers spacious 3 Star self catering accommodation for those wanting family holidays on the Isle of Mull. This former Smithy was renovated 15 years ago and offers easy and comfortable living space for up to 6 people, with a 40 foot long kitchen/sitting room.
Located on the north western side of the Island it enjoys panoramic and uninterrupted south west views over Loch Tuath to the Isles of Ulva and Gometra. It takes in Ben More to the east and to the west the Treshnish Islands, with the Isle of Coll and Tiree beyond for glorious sunsets. Set on the shore side of the quiet single track road it is just a short walk through a field to a sheltered bay safe for swimming, or behind the house for hill walking. |

Mull has a range of attractions from the sparkling white sands at Calgary, to the colourful ‘capital’ of Tobermory with its museum, distillery and chocolate factory as well as numerous shops and restaurants. There are Castles and museums to visit, or fish the sea, rivers or lochs; climb Ben More, or play golf either at Tobermory or Craignure. Explore the hills, find old settlements, pony trek, sail, bird watch, enjoy a picnic or simply collect shells from one of the numerous beaches.
After exploring the island during the day enjoy relaxing beside the open fire or maybe on a beautiful summers evening sit outside on the garden bench and watch the sun set and the sea and sky changing moods. It is a perfect place for a relaxing break away from it all. Artist and photographers are inspired by the glorious colours and ever changing light. Whatever the weather there is always something to do on this beautiful island. |
