Monthly Rentals in Dervaig

Lovely little shepherds hut, very cosy and had everything you need. It’s incredible how they managed to fit everything in that small space. Since the hosts are just next door, there are some tasty eggs for sale which you can see where they’re from right from the garden area. It’s a very big garden space with a little balcony to eat and drink outside in. You don’t get much time for a shower but that was fine for myself and my partner, however that might not suit everyone. The only thing I’d recommend that may be helpful for the next guests is to have an extra tea towel on hand. There isn’t anywhere to air dry plates and cups so you have to hand dry them by hand straight away and the towel doesn’t always dry in time for when you next need to use it. Other than that great stay, thank you for having us.

My partner and I stayed on the island for 4 nights over Easter weekend, and were completely enchanted by Gometra and the bothy. It was easier than we expected to get there, with the helpful community transport available on Mull, and the on-demand ferry between Mull and Ulva. A gentle 3.5 hr hike from Ulva Ferry, the bothy was easy to find, located at the foot of a crag with a beautiful view of the coast. The well-stocked honesty shop was around 1km away, making it easy to pick up what we needed for meals each day. The island was very peaceful, occasionally running into Roc and Rhoda, while Andy kept us well stocked with firewood . Our hosts were very responsive to messages and made a remote stay feel very easy to accomplish! The wood-burning stove was an absolute must, and we enjoyed being off grid and electricity-free for a long weekend of exploring, reading and relaxing.

Amazing location. We especially loved walking to the local beach and taking a swim even though it was a bit cold given it is April!

The little cottage was very cozy. It was perfect for exploring the island. The location was very peaceful and hope to come back in the future!
