The Dairy & Castle Cottages offer a comfortable relaxing venue in which to enjoy spectacular scenery, wildlife e.g. White Tailed Sea Eagles, Otters, Golden Eagles, Deer, Bottlenose Dolphins and being approximately 100 yards from the beach affords an opportunity to see a large variety of sea birds including Heron, Oyster Catchers etc. The central location of Aros Mains Apartment, Dairy & Castle Cottages enables one to explore the Isle of Mull and, as Tobermory is a mere 10-15 minutes drive, restaurants and hotels are within easy reach.

A wonderful week in a cozy cottage
The cottage is perfectly placed to tour the isle with it being only a 15 min journey from the ferry port. A handy spar in Salen is nearby for all your needs and Tobermory is a quick and pleasant journey away. The cottage is spacious, exceptionally clean and comfortable. There was nothing we needed that our hosts hadn’t thought of. The views were spectacular especially when the local red deer paid us a visit at night. I also loved visiting the chickens daily. Look up and golden eagles were overhead, listen to the owls at night, watch the tiny bats hunt for food and look out for a pair of herons who live nearby too. A nature lovers dream! A short walk from the property led to a beach from which we took our daily dip. We walked there and back in our wetsuits. If I could move there I would. Thank you Richard and Kirsten for such a lovely little break for our family x

Exceptional cottage and location
Clean, welcoming and very comfortable cottage situated above Salem Bay. The village of Salem has a good village shop. Roads lead from the village to every corner of the island. We particularly loved the island of Ulva and it's excellent Boathouse restaurant. Duart Castle was another favourite. We had sightings of magnificent eagles, but missed out on otters. It rained every day, but we had a lovely holiday.

Fantastic!
Dairy Cottage was very clean and well presented. It couldn't be in a better position in the island amd what a bonus to have a castle and a beach literally a stone's throw away. Mull is a beautiful island and this was an ideal place to explore from. It was lovely to speak to the owners who were very kind, welcoming and helpful. We would most definitely return!

Excellent stay at Dairy Cottage
We had a brilliant stay on Mull at Dairy Cottage. We were a group of 4 adults and 1 3 year old and the cottage was perfect. The location was great for exploring the island and we spent most of our days exploring the beaches as the weather was fabulous. Richard was very welcoming and met us on arrival, and no doubt would have been on hand had we needed anything during our stay. Hope to back, in fact we need to be to defend Rob's sportive title!

Perfect week
This property was ideal for our first time on the Isle of Mull. The property was clean and spacious. The owners were next door and they were very pleasant and helpful. There is a small beach nearby and a circular walk of just over a mile which was a good way of beginning or ending the day. The location was ideal for the ferry, Tobermory and visiting the north and central areas of Mull.

Mull Magic
We all had a wonderful week on Mull at Castle Steadings. The cottage was warm, clean and centrally positioned for exploring the island. The weather was great, sunny every day and the wildlife performed well for us. We had Sea-eagles over the cottage on two days and found a nest on another. There was an Otter eating a fish one day, and we had a sighting of a Minke whale. I logged 73 species of birds. We will all return, probably at the end of May next year as it will be good to see the trees in leaf and the Bluebells flowering.

Perfect break
Three of us stayed (couple plus child of 18 months) and it was perfect for us - Salen about 8 minutes away, beautiful location for the cottage, and a ruined castle (explore at your own risk!) very close. We didn't use the room upstairs - a couple of others could easily have been there too. Amazon Prime and Netflix a welcome bonus for the evenings. Would wholeheartedly recommend it.
