Tigh-an-Achadh Bed and Breakfast on the Isle of Mull
 Salen is Mull’s most
central location from which to explore the island by car. Tigh-An-Achadh has off road parking for three cars. Without a car
Mull can be explored by the bus service that connects Salen with
Tobermory, Craignure and down to Fionnphort and thence by ferry to
Iona. Tigh-An-Achadh is just a short step away from the
village centre where the bus stops. Salen has one of the few
petrol stations on Mull, a repair garage, a restaurant, two hotels
that serve bar meals, a self-service Spar shop, a post office and
launderette.
Salen's Church of Scotland church is in the village
whilst the Episcopal church of St Columba is two miles away at
Gruline. Both offer Sunday services and in the summer season Salen
church also offers teas and coffees on certain morning and is an
occasional venue for dances and concerts.

The Isle of Mull is a gem on
the west coast of Scotland. A 'mecca' for wildlife enthusiasts
with red deer, otters, seals, golden eagles, sea eagles and an
abundance of other land and sea faring birds are a common sight.
Mull also boasts a host of activities for residents and visitors
including scenic hill walking, fresh water and sea fishing trips,
pony trekking, two golf courses, many sandy beaches and of course,
visits to Mull's neighbouring islands - Iona, Staffa, Ulva and the
Treshnish Isles.

Tobermory, Mull's 'capital' - was made famous by the
BBC children's television programme, Balamory! With its
characteristic colourful houses, beautiful natural harbour,
distillery, pubs, restaurants and many other places of interest,
this is a great place for days out and for shopping. Mull is also
fortunate to have a fascinating history; relics of its incredible
past remain - from standing stones, stone circles and crannogs, to
more recent structures - including Moy Castle and Duart Castle.
