Elegant Hebridean hideaway on the Isle of Mull

Glenaros Lodge is a comfortable Bed and Breakfast set in private grounds with splendid sea views, an ideal base for exploring the wonderful Mull and Iona archipelago.

Glenaros Lodge advertises just two guest bedrooms; a large king-sized double with ensuite rainfall shower and roll top bath and a twin room with a recently refurbished private bathroom. A third small double with antique bed can share the private bathroom with the twin: ideal for families or friends travelling together. All rooms are beautifully appointed with antique furnishings, original art works and comfortable beds. There are no TVs or trouser presses but plenty of reading matter and the sitting room, with a wood-burning stove for cooler nights, has plenty of games including a set of Lewis chess men.

Views from the breakfast room are spectacular, across the bay to Aros Castle and the Sound of Mull. Cooked breakfasts are provided using local ingredients where available as you drink in the sight of a tidal bay that constantly changes, to the delight of the resident wildlife. Outside there are four acres of gardens and grounds, fenced against deer and with countless viewpoints and sitting areas. Footpaths lead to a secluded nearby beach, Aros Castle, a nearby hill fort and Salen village.

Glenaros Lodge is fully registered under Scotland’s new regulations (license no AR58) but the atmosphere is more that of a family home than an hotel. There is  a large drying room that you’re welcome to use, secure bike storage, a car charger, loads of parking, and more. Evening meals are not routinely on offer but they may occasionally be available, especially for whole-house bookings. Pets, apart from guide dogs, are sadly not allowed, but children of a responsible age are welcome: just call ahead to make arrangements. Glenaros Lodge only opened as a B&B in May 2024 and is already attracting glowing reviews: just book in, relax, and make yourself at home.

Glenaros Lodge B&B suggests:

Fae Cameron is an accomplished artist, and the Isle of Mull impossibly beautiful. This makes Glenaros Lodge a natural venue to host a residential painting course. Art tuition may be available, but call to confirm before you pack your paints.
