Dobhran Croft is located at the foot of Ben Buie with the sea just a short stroll from the doorstep. There is a fantastic stretch of coastline to explore here and some lovely stretches of sand at Lochbuie, such as Laggan Sands. It's a great location for those wanting to escape from it all and the beautifully finished cottage just adds to the lovely surroundings.
Lochbuie is located in the Isle of Mull’s south east, an area of high mountains, sea lochs and woodlands. There is a small shop at Lochbuie (the old post office) which sells snacks, drinks and local produce such as local meats and ready meals as well as local craft work. Craignure, where the ferry arrives on Mull, is a thirty five minute drive and has a shop, as well as a pub, cafe, small golf course and the Isle of Mull swimming pool.
Nearest village: Craignure (14 miles)

Things to Do
A short five minute walk from the cottage there are a number of sandy beaches at the head of Lochbuie as well as the large sweeping bay of Laggan Sands a little further along. A good coastal path leads along the shore passing through some stunning coastal scenery and woodland before arriving at the old farm buildings at Glenbyre from where a smaller path continues onwards to Carsaig. This is a beautiful and rugged stretch of coast and a good place to see the wild goats.
Those feeling energetic can tackle the mountain peak of Ben Buie a great walk with stunning views over Lochbuie (please note caution and experience required). The 15th century Moy castle is located mid way along the bay of Lochbuie and is a three story stone built tower.
Croggan is a short drive away and is also a great area to see otters, enjoy walks along the coast and visit the sandy beach at Portfield.
