Rubha nan Gall Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage

A former Lighthouse Keeper's Cottage in a spectacular remote location on the Isle of Mull. Built by the Stevensons in 1857, Rubha nan Gall Keeper's Cottage has been completely renovated and now offers a comfortable home for up to 6 guests from which to enjoy the tranquil surroundings and abundant wildlife. Access is via a coastal footpath, a 25 min walk from Tobermory and there is NO vehicle access. The cottage is off-grid, but solar panels, a spring and WiFi mean you probably won’t notice. The Keeper's Cottage is one of two cottages at Rubha nan Gall. The cottage has a large well-equipped kitchen & dining room with wood-burning stove, a cosy lounge with open fire and 3 bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. Guests will enjoy the whole of the Keeper's Cottage to themselves while the owners live next door in the attached cottage with a separate garden and entrance. We live next door in the adjacent cottage and will usually be around to welcome you to Rubha nan Gall and offer advice on how best to enjoy your time at the cottage and on Mull. Nearby, Tobermory’s picturesque harbour is lined with shops, cafés, and restaurants. Whale watching and wildlife trips leave from Tobermory and also from Ulva on Mull’s west coast. Thirty minutes west are the spectacular white sand beaches of Calgary and Croig, while a little further on, you’ll find the shores of Loch na Keal, a large sea loch hosting abundant wildlife, dominated by Mull’s highest mountains. More information on getting here will be provided prior to your arrival. There is NO road access to Rubha nan Gall which adds to the tranquility of your stay. Please note, you will need to carry luggage and shopping along the 2km footpath from Tobermory (25 mins), so it's best to bring rucksacks or easy to carry luggage.
