Achadaphail Croft self catering holiday cottage accommodation on the Isle of Mull.
Achadaphail is a stunning location:- situated on a croft on the Ross of Mull in the Inner Hebrides with a panoramic view to the north to Staffa and the Treshnish Isles. It is situated on the Ardtun peninsula, just 1 1/2 miles from Bunessan and 6 miles from Fionnphort where the ferry leaves for the Island of Iona.
Mull is a truly magical place. It has a dramatic coastline and a variety of scenery, ranging from the high basaltic plateau of the north, to the rounded granite hills of the "Ross of Mull", in the south-west. The "Ross of Mull" is unspoiled by roads. This makes it an ideal destination for bird watching and observing the unique Hebridean wildlife, which roam free in their natural environment. Explore the many "white sandy" coves and beaches on the "Ross" and on Iona, which are washed by the waters of the Gulf Stream.
The ancient leaf-beds preserved on the Ardtun peninsula, and the dramatic sea arches formed near Carsaig are some of the geological sites worth visiting.
Iona is a sacred Isle, steeped in Christianity and history. It possesses a unique atmosphere. Sanctuary from the bustle of life can be found at the famous abbey, which is the ancient burial ground for the forty-eight Scottish Kings.
Staffa -(meaning "Pillar Island"), can be reached by a short boat trip. It is one of the natural geological wonders of the world. Fingal's Cave is the most spectacular feature and was made famous by Mendelssohn's Music.
