Shieling Holidays

Scottish Hostels, Bunkhouses and Camping Barns

We’re right on the sea, with views to Ben Nevis.

There are regular sightings of seals and otters, and sometimes of porpoises, dolphins and eagles.

Stroll to the ferry, pub, shops, swimming pool and miniature steam railway.

Walk to Torosay and Duart Castles.

Catch the bus for Tobermory; for Iona (where Columba brought Christianity to Scotland) and for Staffa (home of puffins, and inspiration for Mendelssohn’s overture ‘Fingal’s Cave’).

Your accommodation is in Shielings, unique carpeted cottage tents, made by us on Mull, which are clean, bright and spacious, and have real beds for 2, 4, or 6.

There are super showers, and communal Shielings with woodburner, TV, payphone and launderette.

Our campsite is rated ‘5 stars, exceptional, World Class’ by the Scottish Tourist Board.
