If the colourful harbourfront of Tobermory is what first tempted you to visit the Isle of Mull, then you will love the chance to stay in one of those very buildings that make the town so iconic. Staffa Apartment sits on the waterfront Main Street in Tobermory and is an ideal base for a self-catering holiday on Mull for two people.

Tobermory is the island's harbour capital and is famous for its distinctive painted buildings. There are cafes, gift shops, galleries and plenty of places to eat, often serving the seafood that is fished in the waters around the island. Island experiences don’t get more authentic, or more fresh and local, than that.

Being situated in Tobermory, guests at Staffa Apartment can make use of all attractions here - the distillery tour is not to be missed and a whale watching trip or boat tour is a brilliant way to see some wildlife and get out on the water.

There is also an arts centre where live music, exhibitions and events take place throughout the year. The theatre is on the outskirts of the town, alongside Aros Park, which has some lovely woodland footpaths and waterfalls to discover.

Even closer to home, the path to Rubh nan Gall lighthouse begins a short walk from Staffa Apartment near the CalMac ferry pier. So while you have the benefits of easy access to amenities, you also have no shortage of outdoor activities and opportunities to experience wildlife close at hand too.

The apartment itself is located in the iconic 'red building', otherwise known as Portmore Place. Situated on the second floor, the holiday apartment has superb views of the sea. There are stone steps at the back of the building, which give you access to the communal hallway. Lismore Apartment is situated in the same building and also sleeps two, should you have friends or family planning to join you.

The main living area is light and bright, with plush sofa and armchair to sink into, a feature fireplace and dining table and chairs. There's a useful window seat, great for watching the fishing boats, yachts and dinghies coming and going from the bay - if you are lucky you might even spot an otter, seal or dolphin, which are sometimes seen in the harbour. There's also a smart TV and a selection of books to keep you entertained in the evenings.

The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering and sits to the rear of the apartment. The bathroom is also reached via the hall and is to the rear of the building. The double bedroom is to the front, giving it prime position to take in the outstanding views over the harbour. It’s a scene that will make you smile every morning you wake up to it, no matter how many days you stay. The king-sized bed promises a great night's sleep.

There's plenty to see and do in and around Tobermory and wildlife tours depart daily to circumnavigate the island's wildest spots with expert eyes. A little further afield, you can also explore places like the Calgary beach - a white sandy bay just 30 minutes’ drive from Tobermory, which also gives access to Mull's stunning north west coast.

Mull is a great destination for walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, cyclists and photographers and Staffa Apartment in Tobermory is a beautiful location to base your holiday, giving easy access to every comfort and excursion, while never feeling far from that wonderful sea view.
