Enjoying a breath-taking setting near Pennyghael on the picturesque Isle of Mull is the country house, Carsaig House.
The ultimate destination for large family get-togethers or friendly gatherings, Carsaig House is truly one of a kind.
Dating back to the mid-19th century, Carsaig House oozes elegance and style from every fibre of its beautiful being and traditional features abound throughout the property.
The overwhelming grandeur of the property is established from the get-go and visitors are greeted by original features at every turn.
The warm and welcoming sitting room has plenty of snug sofas, picture windows showcasing the views and an open fire, all adding up to create at truly inviting space.
The more formal drawing room is a great entertaining space and also has an open fire.
The splendid farmhouse kitchen boasts a traditional Aga and an additional oven giving visitors the best of both worlds – an atmospheric and traditional style kitchen but with a fantastic selection of mod cons, the perfect area for cooking up a storm and creating some fantastic dishes.
You can sit in the relaxed and informal setting of the kitchen itself or step into the more formal dining room perfect for long, languid dinner parties.
Think Downton Abbey with a Scottish burr.
For the younger ones in the party they may want to take themselves off to chill out and enjoy a game of table football while the adults take their time over dinner.
Everyone is catered for at Carsaig House!
You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a bedroom, but all of them offer a sanctuary to retire to after a long day of exploring and all boast views of either sea or gardens.
Throwing open the doors to Carsaig House and you are greeted by expansive, well-maintained gardens which are just asking to be explored.
Enjoy spending time in this wonderful walled garden breathing in the refreshing Scottish air and taking in the beautiful sea views.
Tempting as it is to stay at home there is so much to see and do right on the doorstep so exploring is a must.
The beach is a short walk from the house and there are a number of popular hill and coastal walks close by.
Less than half an hour’s drive is the idyllic Isle of Iona and Ross of Mull with kayaking a favourite pastime in this area.
A day trip well worth doing is taking a drive and a ferry over to the bustling town of Oban and a short drive away in the car but following an extremely scenic route along the coast is Tobermory!
A visit to Carsaig House is quite simply unforgettable so make sure it’s on your bucket list.
The island can be reached by ferry from Oban to Craignure, Lochaline to Fishnish or Kilchoan to Tobermory.
