Secluded retreat with stunning views. Stay in our beautiful 16' traditional yurt on the edge of an ancient hazel woodland. The yurt has a simple wood burner, a big bed and comfy seating. Guests have use of a kitchen, toilets and showers in the workshop building 100 meters away.

We are a small 10 acre croft on the Isle of Mull, with our family home and boatbuilding workshop on site. The yurt sits between woodland and old peat cuttings, with views of Ben Mor, the tallest mountain on Mull.

The space
A unique getaway, perfect for couples or solo adventurers. The croft is a paradise for wildlife. You may see deer, hares, and eagles, and birds such as snipe, skylarks, owls and curlews.

We are located one mile from the village of Bunessan with a grocery shop and pub, and a short drive from beautiful beaches including Uisken, Ardalanish and Kilvickeon. Boat trips to Staffa and Lunga are easily accessible from the nearby village of Fionnphort, as is the famous Isle of Iona.

The workshop kitchen is fully equipped with fridges, cooking facilities and seating. The shop in Bunessan sells all basic provisions.

The kitchen, shower and toilet facilities are shared but never busy. These facilities are in our boatbuilding workshop, Ben will occasionally be working in there but only ever between 10am and 3pm so we won't disturb your morning coffee or evening dinners!

The yurt is lit by solar lanterns - these are also rechargeable by USB leads kept in the workshop kitchen.

We provide firewood for your stay, just let us know if you run low.

Guest access
Cars can be driven to the yurt to unload luggage, but must be parked by the workshop, 100m away.

Please book ferries in advance as they book up quickly!

The croft is approx. 40 mins walk from the village of Bunessan, where the bus stops.

The croft is accessed through two gates, please keep these closed as we are not deer fenced and don't want to let deer into our neighbour's garden!

Other things to note
While we will do everything we can to make your stay comfortable, it is still glamping so please come prepared for wet and windy weather - warm clothes and wellies, as well as sunscreen and midge repellant! The yurt is a short walk from the kitchen, toilets and showers in the workshop, so you may wish to bring a head torch.

The yurt gets cosy with the wood burner but is not insulated, so we provide extra blankets and hot water bottles as well as cosy bedding.

Summer days are long and the yurt is light, so you may want to bring an eye mask.
