We’re well into the summer holidays now .. over half way through the Scottish school holidays. We’ve had some glorious sunny weather as well as some typically Scottish summer weather too. Mull continues to delight her visitors and we are happy to help with any queries guests have as they plan their break.
I’d no idea before doing Willowbank how invested I’d feel in helping guests have the best holidays. We’re so lucky to live where we do & so happy to hear when our guests appreciate our efforts & the beauty of Mull. We’ve had some lovely reviews and comments – thank you! Thank you as well to any feedback for things we could do better, helps us to keep on improving.
Garden Progress
The garden is taking shape a bit more now too. If you could see what it was like when we were in the middle of renovations it’s hard to believe we’ve got a garden back. From bare ground piled high with rubble sacks and the ripped out fittings the grass seed has taken and we have a lawn and somewhere to sit and enjoy the birdsong. The wildflowers have come up a treat at the bottom of the garden where previously we had a rubble heap overshadowed by huge leylandii. Now we have wild flowers and a new standing stone for Dervaig. The stone came out of the house during renovation and we’ve named it the Lintel Stone! Great to see the locally made picnic table in use over the sunny evenings we’ve had too.
Future Bookings
If you’ve planned your summer, or even managed to get away for a summer break and are now looking ahead, we’ve still got some limited autumn availability and then we’re offering short breaks too over the winter period.
The cottage offers central heating, newly insulated everything and a cosy wood burning stove. All of which should make for a cosy retreat after brisk winter walking. The wildlife is stunning in the winter and with the well equipped kitchen cooking up a treat in the evening’s no problem. Maybe you’re already thinking about next year – don’t leave it too late to book. We had a number of disappointments this year with people not realising how quickly things would book up. All the rates for 2022 are up on the booking system too.
