GRASSPOINT COTTAGE, ISLE OF MULL EVERY morning we were up with the lark, hungry to engage with nature. An old drover's dwelling perched on the coastal perimeter of the 4500-acre Auchnacraig estate, Grasspoint Cottage commands a view across the Firth of Lorne and the sound of Mull to the Nevis Range, Mamores, Glencoe and beyond. The landscape s a photographer's paradise, and if you get lucky you can snap red deer, porpoises, otters and sea eagles.
Inside, the self-catering cottage is a cosy one-room living space with an ample double bed, wood and coal-burning stove and the usual facilities - but bring your own linen.
Stock up on essentials from the nearby mini-market 15 minutes' drive away in Craignure. From watching the sun submerge between the arms of Calgary Bay to stargazing from the cottage doorstep before retiring to the heat of a peat fire with a dram, it will be a visit long reminisced upon.
Grasspoint Cottage can be rented for GBP250-GBP395 per week.
