Old School House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A perennially popular cottage, not only with wildlife photographers but anyone keen to experience Mull\u2019s wild side from a stunning sea view cottage. The Old School House<\/a> at Croggan delivers at every turn, with mountain, sea and woodland views, a beach in walking distance, and a habitat for just about all of Mull\u2019s big five \u2013 from eagles to otters and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Coorie Doon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A luxe hideaway near Gruline, Coorie Doon<\/a> is the perfect spot to see fallow deer, which often come to graze the surrounding pastures as they pop out of nearby woodland. You\u2019re close to Loch Ba and Loch na Keal too, offering yet more opportunity to experience Mull\u2019s wildlife highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Achnacraig<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nestled in Glen Bellart with river, woodland, moorland and open hill country as far as the eye can see, and the tidal sea loch only 10 minutes distant, Achnacraig<\/a> offers all manner of wildlife habitats on the doorstep. Venture out for a walk at dusk and keep your eyes and ears peeled for owls and scan the hillsides for quartering birds of prey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct access to the shore from the garden at The Old Church<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Old Church<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With the loch shore at the bottom of the garden, you could say The Old Church<\/a> brings the wildlife to you! Watch the shoreline for otters that may be working the tides and passing seals that are often as curious about you as you are of them. On a very lucky day, you might even spot a pod of dolphins exploring the loch. With views to Ben More on the opposite shore, you\u2019ll have plenty to inspire when picking up the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve got a particular habitat in mind, you can search by map her<\/a>e to find an ideally located cottage. Wherever you venture and whatever wildlife you hope to see, please remember to do so responsibly, from a distance, and avoiding disturbance. Have a wonderful time discovering the wilds of Mull.
