Dervaig, Isle of Mull, Scotland
Holiday Cottage to Let
Penmorebeg is a comfortable four bedroom bungalow in beautiful surroundings a few minutes easy walk from the village of Dervaig on the north coast of the Isle of Mull.
The house is situated on its own, in grounds of approximately six acres of grass and woodland, on the banks of the river Bellart. It has views up Glen Bellart and down Loch Cuin towards the sea. It is available to let from March to October.
Dervaig is a small village with a few shops, post office/general store and the Bellachroy Hotel. It was the original home of the famous Mull Little Theatre. It is about eight miles from Tobermory and within three miles of the beautiful sandy bay at Calgary, which can be reached by car, and nearer to smaller sandy bays accessible on foot.
