Traditional and cosy Mull blackhouse with lovely sea views
Sleeps 2 adults + travel cot
East Cottage is a blackhouse, one of three, located at Haunn on the north west of the Isle of Mull.
This Mull blackhouse is a small cottage, with walls of stone over 3′ thick, built probably in the early 1800’s and lived in until the 1940’s.
There are not many blackhouses to rent on Mull and we have done what we can to preserve their character whilst making them more comfortable – the thick walls mean they are very warm and cosy! East is 2 miles away from the main road and just a 10 minutes’ walk from the shore. It sits in a large grassy Hebridean garden, shared with two other blackhouses at Haunn, called Middle and West.
