Mull is the second largest of the Inner Hebridean islands. The main ferry port is at Craignure in the South-east corner of the island which is approached past the spectacular headland of the ruins of Duart Castle. In the summer you can catch the Mull narrow railway to Toronsay Castle and gardens. The North of the island is the home of the delightful town of Tobermory (the setting for the BBC children's show Balamory) and the South-west corner of the island is the gateway to the famous and holy island of Iona and Fingal's cave. There is an enthusiastic car rally event held in October.
Private small hotels can (though not as a rule!) be the best and most exclusive accommodation to be found anywhere in Britain and are often to be found in converted country houses in the most beautiful gardens or on mini-estates. They can usually be booked on a full-board or Bed and Breakfast basis but expect tariffs to be at the more expensive end of the market. Learn more about accommodation types
