‘I’d like a cottage by the sea please.’ \u00a0A\u00a0simple request you might think? \u00a0But actually,\u00a0how many houses are really\u00a0beside<\/em> the sea? \u00a0A sea view, yes. That we can accommodate in lots of properties, but a stone’s throw is a different matter. \u00a0Luckily, we’re as obsessed with cottages by the sea as you are. Here are some cracking options to get you excited for your next Mull getaway…<\/p>\n

1. Grasspoint Cottage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to smell the sea air when you step out the door and be able to take less than two dozen steps before you are submersed in sea water, Grasspoint Cottage is what you are looking for. \u00a0On top of that, the furnishings give it a lovely, quirky, rustic vibe. \u00a0The cosy accommodation with\u00a0wood burning stove and bed in the the living room add to the ambience in the evenings. \u00a0It\u00a0might not be five-star accommodation, but it is a five-star experience. We’d highly recommend booking Grasspoint Cottage<\/a> for those wanting to get cosy by the sea.<\/p>\n

2. \u00a0The Old Church<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How does a historical building, converted into a luxurious pad, with sea views and a path to the water’s edge\u00a0sound? Quite good? \u00a0The Old Church<\/a> is even better than you imagine! The interior is fabulous, the views are amazing and you can sit on the garden bench and watch for seals, otters or even dolphins. It’s really is that good.<\/p>\n

3. The Old School House<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Again, we’re not messing around here. The sea is literally a\u00a0stone’s throw away from the Old School House, making it an ideal options for cottages by the sea. Surrounded by\u00a0beautiful countryside, there is a gravel track that leads around the coastline through mature woodland, past pebble and sandy beaches. It’s idyllic (and that word gets used a lot, but it really is). The Old School House <\/a>has an olde world charm and the sort of stunning, mountainous scenery surrounding it that makes you want to come back again and again.<\/p>\n

4. The Bothy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You’d have thought by now we would be getting onto lesser options for cottages by the sea, but we haven’t. The Bothy <\/a>is ultra special. If you want to feel like you have reached the end of the earth and to have your mind blown by a huge, sweeping expanse of beach in front of your cosy cottage for two<\/a>, then The Bothy is for you. This little area of Mull is divine with a capital ‘D’; you will not want to leave. You will also love more of our remote holiday cottages<\/a> – take a look for some wild inspiration for your next stay.<\/p>\n

5. Sands Cottage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you want to stay in Sands Cottage, heed this\u00a0word of warning: you have to book well in advance. Take one of the best known beaches on the island (because it is truly beautiful), add a lovely stone built cottage with a stylish interior and buckets of character, and you get a hot cake of a property that everyone wants to stay in. Sandy toes in the ocean can be achieved just across the road from Sands Cottage<\/a>.<\/p>\n
