Pier Renovation 

  
Everyone in our party agreed that Salen Pier House is the best property we have ever stayed at over the past eleven years of our Scottish holidays. There was more than enough room for all ten of us and our time there was only enhanced by the friendliness of the people we met and the excellent food.   We would recommend the Bellachroy at Dervaig for the 14oz steaks and the huge seafood and meat platters, not for the faint-hearted! We saw otters from the lounge window and deer during our cycle ride along Loch Ba.  It's a pity we were only there for a week but without doubt we'll be back.

We've just returned home from Mull after a glorious week with family and friends. The Pier House was the perfect location for a total chill out, sitting at the picture window at 7am binoculars in one hand, tea in the other watching a variety of wildlife,  from the neighboring otters and seals to the visiting sea eagle perched at the end of the pier.  The house is pristine, a great deal of effort has been put into making it perfect... everything you need is there, the only thing you need to bring is a bottle (or two) of wine and enjoy. Loads of room to spare for our group of eight 'adults'. Trips to Calgary's beautiful white sandy beach was well worth the drive (go via Dervaig, much quicker) just to watch my daughter battle with her sports kite - a pile of memorable pictures to cherish.  Great house, great food, good times.  Peace perfect peace, missing it already...we'll be back.  
 
Thanks for a perfect week.. Loved it.  Danny & Jacqui McBride   March 2010
Nine of us stayed at the Pier House again (our second visit) for New Year, a family trip with the 'grown up' children and partners.  We kayaked from just a few steps in front of the house on the Sound of Mull and cycled to Loch Na Keal where we saw fallow deer, hen harriers, and a golden eagle.  We went whale watching from Tobermory.  However, you don't need to leave the house the wildlife is on the doorstep, we spotted an otter from the big lounge window, it came up onto the rocks carrying fish on more than one occasion.  A mink lives in a hole on the rocks which can also be seen from the window. Two majestic white tailed sea eagles flew over Pierhouse towards Loch Ba.  At the end of the stay we had an excellent sighting of a pod of common dolphins in the bay at Craignure, at least 25 in total, we watched them for 20 minutes - Mull magic! I'm sure we will be back.
 
We had an excellent time last week. I particularly liked the big fluffy towels and cotton bedding and china mugs for tea.
Glengorm castle was a good spot- nice walks and a fab cafe lots of local food and great Italian hot choc and coffees also have their own veg which was excellent.
We had 5 sightings of otter, three from the living room window. The best though was on the side of loch scriven where we watched one fishing for 3/4hr only a few meters away. Saw porpoise most days. White tailed eagles at Frisa very impressive too.
Had a trip over to Iona which we enjoyed but needs to be a nice day. Would recommend the scenic route on the west coast rather than via Craignure much prettier and probably quicker.

Salen pier House is by far the best place on Mull to relax, drink wine slowly, have a barbeque and watch the Cal Mac to the Western Isles steam past. The House is of a size where we managed to safely lose the children, but they seemed to be happy with situation, exploring the beach, rock pools, grounds and generally having a ball.
No near neighbours, no noise, just peace and quiet in first rate accommodation. Oh and the sun shone gloriously for the first three days of our week, so we spent those days on the beach, getting brown, (red) and enjoying the lack of other people next to us. A spot of swimming in the sea to cool down and it was round to Tobermory for a first class fish supper.
 
All round everything was great.

Salen Pier House provided us with excellent modern accommodation and wonderful views out to sea.  It was ideally located for us to visit all parts of the Isle of Mull.  We found the house itself home from home and was equipped with everything we needed to make our stay on Mull a memorable one.  The living areas are spacious and relaxing.  We visited the Mediterranean Restaurant in Salen and the near-by Glenforsa Hotel, both served good food.  Other restaurants we visited were close by in Tobermory and we especially recommend a visit to Cafe Fish!  Thanks for a wonderful stay!
