Victoria Cottage is an excellent location for an island break. Mull offers a huge variety of activities and interests and the owners regularly partake in golfing, walking, pony-trekking, fishing and have been spellbound by whale-watching only a few miles from Tobermory Bay. Other popular activities can include bird-watching and theatre at Dervaig. Musical enthusiasts will enjoy the traditional Scottish bands which frequent the town's pubs mainly at weekends throughout the year.  The food on the island is excellent and the Tobermory restaurants which serve local seafood, beef, lamb and dairy produce are generally first class. 

Mull and Tobermory hold many high profile events during the year, such as the Music Festival in the spring and the Sailing Week and Highland Games in summer. More recent events include the Mull & Iona Food Festival which was first held in late September 2002. Whenever you decide to come it will be useful to check the main island web site for the events which will coincide with your visit.

Winter breaks can be particularly attractive for walkers with the mild climate and almost-deserted beaches ideal for outdoor rambling. The cottage's collection of empty whisky boxes is evidence of many cosy winter nights in by the fire! Winter weeks can be up to 20% cheaper than peak season periods.
