Ploughman’s Cottage

Ploughman’s Cottage Scoor Remote Retreat Mull is a beautifully renovated stone cottage situated in a secluded area of Scoor, offering an escape into the wild coastal scenery of the Ross of Mull. Ideal for families or groups of four, the cottage seamlessly blends its historic, thick stone walls with a stylish, contemporary interior and modern amenities. The remote setting is a prime spot for birdwatching, wildlife enthusiasts, and walkers looking to explore the most beautiful, off-the-beaten-track white sandy beaches, including Kilvickeon and Traigh Bhan na Sgurra.

The cottage features two double bedrooms (one king-sized master on the ground floor and a second double upstairs, accessed via a challenging spiral staircase), a modern ground-floor shower room, and an open-plan living area with a cosy wood-burning stove. A standout feature is the spacious, light-filled sunroom, which has a glass wall, a dining area, and doors leading to a patio for outdoor dining. The cottage is well-equipped with a high-spec kitchen, heating via a renewable air-to-air heat pump, and a fiber-optic Wi-Fi connection.

Visitors should be aware that reaching Ploughman’s Cottage requires navigating the last two miles on a poor-quality farm track with potholes; this stretch must be driven slowly but is suitable for normal cars. The nearest village for supplies and a pub is Bunessan (3 miles), and the ferry terminal for Iona and Staffa at Fionnphort is only 9 miles away. The cottage shares its remote setting with one other property, The Pod, which is located to the rear.
