Cuin Lodge

Cuin Lodge is set in a beautiful Loch side location, overlooking Loch Cuin and the Hills beyond. The views from the House and Garden are stunning. It is possible (wildlife willing) to see Otters fishing in the Loch - wild Geese grazing on the land between the House and the Loch and numerous species of birds flying overhead. With all this and peace and tranquillity, it really is a superb spot to relax and enjoy the beauty of Magical Mull.

Cuin Lodge is a traditional stone built House originally dating from around 1800AD. It is set at the edge of Loch Chumhainn (Cuin) and surrounded by well established tall Pine trees. The former Shooting Lodge and Farm House is situated near the entrance to the Quinnish Estate about one mile north of the picturesque village of Dervaig.

Cuin Lodge has been tastefully restored and extended to provide guests with all the comforts of a modern home. The Guest accommodation consists of two En-Suite rooms with views of the Loch, tea and coffee making facilities, radio alarm, hairdryer, full access Sky Television & DVD player, for 1 to 3 people in each. One of the rooms can accommodate a larger family if required.

With Eagles flying overhead, Otters fishing and its quiet Loch side location, Cuin Lodge is a haven of peace and tranquillity. It gives stunning views across the Loch and surrounding hills, down Glen Bellart to the south with the open sea only a short walk to the north. Usually, the only noise to be heard is the sound of birds, from Buzzards to Owls and wild Geese. In fact, at certain times of the year, flocks of wild Geese can frequently be seen grazing on the land between the Loch and the House, and the RSPB Sea Eagle hide is only in the next Glen.

The Isle of Mull is one of the best places in Europe to enjoy unique and spectacular views of White-Tailed Eagles. As well as getting up close to these stunning Birds of Prey, plenty of other wildlife make Mull their home, including Otters, Red Deer, Slow Worms, Common Lizards, Toads and Adders just to name a few, - all are widespread through the island. Basking Sharks, Minkie Whales, Dolphins and other Cetaceans are also frequently sighted along the coast. Award winning Wildlife trips, either on Land or Sea, can be arranged to help make the most of a trip to Mull.

The Isle of Mull is the second largest Island of the Inner Hebrides and is connected to the mainland by three different Ferries. The main town, Tobermory was built as a fishing Port in the late 18th century and it’s busy Harbour is full with boats of all shapes and sizes including Fishing Boats, Yachts and Mull’s third Ferry that runs to and from Kilchoan on Ardnamurchan.
The Harbour is surrounded by multi-coloured buildings and houses, some of which feature in the BBC children's TV series, Balamory. At one side (Ledaig), there is a small old Whisky Distillery, the only one on the Island, which was founded in 1798 and is still successful today. The harbour is very popular with divers who are possibly searching for Gold Bullion from the Spanish Galleon, Florida which took refuge in Tobermory Bay in 1588 and, legend has it that it was blown up by the local people.
Due to its jagged nature, the coastline of Mull stretches for over 300 miles which is considerable for an Island that basically measures 35 miles by 35 miles along the coast. The economy of the Island is a mixture of Farming, Fishing, and Tourism and as eating out is one of the pleasures of any Holiday, Mull offers superb opportunities to enjoy fresh local produce in one of the many excellent Restaurants dotted around the Island. One of the best is in Dervaig, only a mile away from Cuin Lodge and only a 15 minute walk along the side of the Loch.
Whatever your interest, whether climbing Mountains or relaxing on secluded Sandy Beaches, whether Whale Watching or Eagle spotting, there is something for everyone in Magical Mull.
