The
Steadings Cottage has been newly created out of the 18th Century
Steadings buildings. The cottage has been furnished and equipped
to a very high standard sleeping six people in three double-bedrooms.
A large twin bedroom room, which by prior arrangement could sleep an
extra person as there is a third divan suitable for child, an attractive
double-bedded room, and a smaller twin-bedded room. There is a
large, airy bathroom with heated towel rail. The entrance to the
cottage is via the open-plan dining room with a very-well equipped
kitchen at the end.
The dining room has a six foot long dining table, upholstered chairs and
a wood burning stove, making it a very comfortable room in which to
linger over meals. The kitchen has electric and microwave cookers,
dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer, fridge freezer. An
archway leads through to an attractive and cosy sitting room with colour
television, video and plenty of books. The room has a fireplace
with an electric fire. Off the kitchen there is a small cloakroom
area for coats and boots and a separate shower room with shower, toilet
and wash basin, heated towel rail and electric wall heater.
There
is ample car parking space. Wide steps lead down to the small
private garden overlooking the burn. A table and benches allow for
outside eating. On sunny days the garden is a wonderful sun-trap
Red deer can often be seen browsing on the hillside. Sit on the patio
and listen to the music of the burn as it makes its way down to the
Loch. Make your way through the 15 acre field to the private shore
and see the burn cascade down a 15’ waterfall before joining the Loch.
You may see otters hunting on the shore line or eating their catch on
the rocks. Seals from the colony across the Loch often come over
for an inquisitive look.
The
Steadings was part of the Tiroran House Estate which my husband and I
owned for 20 years. I have now turned The Steadings into my home.
The Cottage though part of the building is secluded and very private.
Backed by hills and forest, The Steadings’ position on the Ardmeanach
peninsula allows immediate access to some of Mull’s wildest and most
splendid scenery with a wealth of attractive flora and fascinating
geological structures. Without getting in your car, you can set
off on day-long walks.
