Just a two minute stroll to the local village pub offering bar meals, with further restaurant options, café, village shop, ferry and bus terminals, where you can catch a bus to Duart castle, Tobermory or Iona (Staffa boat trips), all within easy walking distance through the village of Craignure.

A note from the site themselves...

Shielings have been on Mull for 35 years, long before glamping was ever even heard of. They were inspired by the summer dwellings of Highland shepherds tending their flocks by mountain and shore in days gone by!

Shieling Holidays are situated in a perfect location for exploring all the Island of Mull has to offer. After your long journey to arrive here on Mull we are just 2 minutes drive from the ferry terminal meaning you can get settled in fairly quickly and then go exploring, and believe us when we say there is plenty to keep you busy!

The island is pretty big in distance and there are loads of wildlife spots and walking routes along your journey through Mull. But if it is a quiet break you are after then rest assured the campsite has that to offer too. We are in a perfect spot to overlook the bay and watch the world go by with some wildlife spotting thrown in too!

Shieling Holidays is ideal for...

Couples

Older children (13+)

Peace and quiet

Young children

Things to do on site and in the Isle Of Mull area

Bring your pooch and he'll have the time of his life! Your four legged friend can be walked freely along the enchanting coastline, or on local forestry walks. The local hills and mountains are readily accessible for those with a head for heights.

Wildlife is everywhere, with white tailed sea eagles flying overhead and otter families living on site, there are many, many opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers alike.

Why not take a walk, or short bus ride to visit Duart Castle, the seat of the Clan MacLean.

Drive, or catch a bus to either end of the island to explore further. You'll be glad to hear that the site is located centrally on the island with Tobermory 21 miles north and Fionnphort 35 miles south.

Tobermory is the main town on the Isle of Mull, offering plenty cafes, restaurants, shops, pubs, coastal walks, not to mention the world famous multi-coloured buildings that line the main street, right on the harbour front.

The Isle of Iona is a short ferry ride from Fionnphort, or why not book a boat trip out to the Isle of Staffa to see the world famous Fingal's Cave, or watch and photograph the puffins (end of May to mid July).

There are plenty of white sandy beaches to choose from and a few black sands too, scattered throughout the island. With waterfalls and epic scenery around every corner, the Isle of Mull has something for everyone.
