Barn Cottage and Stables
Barn Cottage and Stables are converted stone barns forming part of the
original Gruline Home Farm. Gruline is on Mull’s west coast just a couple of
miles from Salen. We are centrally located in a quiet position off the main road
amongst trees and farmland close to both Loch Na Keal and Loch Ba. |
 |
|
 |
We live with our small family of animals
away from the hustle and bustle, where time can go as quickly or slowly as you
please. Our dog, pet sheep and chickens
are always happy to meet visitors |

Visitors have their own entrance and are
welcome to come and go as they please. We have just two rooms - our twin room
has a wash hand basin ensuite and its own private bathroom (which has a bath
with shower over) is just a few steps along the hallway. The twin beds can be
joined to make a 6 foot double if preferred. The family
room, which can sleep four, has an ensuite bathroom, again with bath and shower
over. Both rooms have tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryers and irons.
Electric blankets, boot dryers, a travel cot and high chair are available if
required. Visitors can relax in the guest lounge with satellite
TV, DVD, and CDs and a selection of books and games”. |

provide a service along the main road from Tobermory through Salen to Craignure
(ferry to Oban) and on to Fionnphort (ferry to Iona) but service to Gruline is
limited. In summer 2015 the Ulva Ferry Community Bus started a service between
Salen and Calgary via Gruline and Ulva.

PRICES FOR 2016
For two people sharing either the twin bedded room with private bathroom or
family/double room with en-suite bathroom we charge £28 per person per night,
£35 for single occupancy – these prices include a
full
breakfast.
Concessions are available for children. We may
ask for a small deposit to secure a booking but visitors are respectfully
advised that should a booking be cancelled less than 48 hours before their
visit, and we are unable to relet the rooms, then full payment becomes due. We
recommend visitors take out travel insurance to cover any losses which may be
incurred. We are unable to take credit cards and would appreciate payment by
cas/span>h or cheque on departure. There is a bank in Tobermory and several cash
machines throughout the island, some shops also do ‘cash back’. |

Our
water supply is taken straight from the hill, apart from being filtered
it undergoes no chemical treatment and is regularly tested by the local
authority to assure its quality.
We enjoyed visiting Mull
for many years before moving here to live and we aim to provide the
welcome and facilities we would like to receive ourselves. We will do
our best to provide any special requirements. For the comfort of all
visitors we are a non smoking establishment. Well behaved pets are
welcome by arrangement at no
extra charge. |

| The Isle of Mull
The Isle of Mull offers a variety of interests for visitors
* Stunning scenery whatever the time of year. Peaceful lochs, majestic
cliffs, wild moorland, excellent walking whether you just want a gentle stroll
or perhaps something more strenuous.
* Wide variety of birds and mammals just waiting for you to find them. If you
are new to the island join one of the boat trips or wildlife tours who will show
you the best places to look. |
 |
| * Small picturesque villages and colourful Tobermory all
guarantee a friendly welcome. Lonely deserted settlements illustrate the
more poignant history of the island and its population.
* For those with an interest in geology, Mull has some of the oldest
rock formations in Europe with of course Ben More rising over 3000 feet in
the centre of the island.
* There are castles and gardens to explore or simply drive along the
miles of roads to take in the scenery. No need for an excuse to stop for
tea and cakes. |

Directions
From the Craignure and Fishnish
ferries turn right taking the main road towards Tobermory. Once in Salen turn
left immediately after the church, signposted Gruline, Kinloch and Ulva Ferry.
After about 2 miles (and ignoring the right turn to Ulva) the road passes St
Columba's church on the left. The turning for Barn Cottage is the next left
sharing the drive signposted to the National Trust property, the MacQuarie
Mausoleum. |
