Isle of Mull Bed and Breakfast, B and B

Mike and Jen Swift welcome you to High Oatfield offering quality Isle of Mull bed and breakfast accommodation, perfect for a pleasant and relaxing holiday with an organic approach to your Bed & Breakfast stay.

Our Bed and Breakfast is tucked away off the Craignure - Fionnphort road just outside the hamlet of Lochdon on the Isle of Mull, a short drive to the ferry at Craignure and a 35 minute drive to the north of the Island to Tobermory or just under the hour to the south to Fionnphort and Iona.

The gaelic name for our area is Ardchoirk which literally translates as High Oatfield, the field directly in front of the house was under horse and plough until about 50 years ago.

We have two spacious, warm, comfortable bedrooms each with a king size bed and their own en-suite bathroom. Sorry but we do not have the facilities to cater for children.

Our Mull B & B is strictly non-smoking and as we have our own dogs and hens we cannot accept pets (we will allow assistance dogs).

See our 2012 B & B Prices or if you wish to discuss your Isle of Mull Bed and Breakfast requirements please contact Mike or Jen on 01680 812323 or 07733 483048 or email oatfieldorganics@btinternet.com.

Both B & B rooms have TV with freeview and tea & coffee making facilities. There are maps and books available to help you to plan your days out on the Isle of Mull and we can, with our local knowledge offer advice on places to go and the best areas for wildlife.

We endeavour to use only organic products in our B & B and offer a choice on our continental breakfast menu of cereal, juice, yogurts, homemade bread and preserves (made from our own fruit when available) which is served in your bedroom. All tea and coffee on the complimentary room trays are organically sourced, as are our towels.

Our house is situated next to our organic vegetable business which supplies fresh salads and vegetables to local businesses. We also supply free range organic eggs from our own flock of chickens.

All our electricity is supplied from a hydro-electric supplier and we plan to install a wind turbine to supply our own power. The majority of our electrical appliances are 'A' rated.

We recycle as much as possible given our unique geographical location. We compost all our vegetable waste and then use it in our polytunnels and raised vegetable beds. We also collect and spread seaweed from the shore along with 'Rockdust' both of which are full of trace elements which greatly enhance the taste of our vegetables.

Oatfield Organics, Isle of Mull B & B is located in Lochdon, a favourite area amongst birdwatchers and a 'hotspot' for Mull wildlife with Otter, Red Deer, many species of duck and waders all present. The spectacular Sea Eagle can often be seen flying over the Loch.

The Sea Eagle is a very important bird on the Isle of Mull and each year the police and local volunteers man a 24 hour watch over the Sea Eagles nests to prevent the eggs being stolen.

We are fortunate to have regular visits from the local wildlife. A White Tailed Sea Eagle (or occasionally a pair) can be seen flying over the house, Hen Harriers 'quarter' the field in front of us and Barn Owls, who have taken up residence in our nesting box can often be seen at night.

Geese, Oystercatchers and Curlews feed on the grass just outside our deer fence and in the 'Mad March' season the hares can be seen still displaying some of their white winter colouring.

A resident sparrowhawk makes regular 'fly pasts' of our bird table and we regularly have Tits, Chaffinches, Goldfinches, Dunnocks and Siskins at the table.

Red deer, stags and hinds, regularly feed very close to our deer fence and think nothing of staring in the living room window. Of course sightings cannot be guaranteed as is the fickle habit of nature! Nature Photography Gallery by Phil McDermott
