Dervaig Hostel

Overview

Dervaig is an attractive conservation village on the edge of a sheltered sea loch. Pretty whitewashed houses border a quiet main street. There are lovely walks along Loch Cuin, into the forest and to nearby standing stones. Within 150 metres there are 2 good village shops: one - serving freshly ground coffee, wines and books, and the other - a well stocked Post Office/General Store. There is also a traditional village pub serving good food, and the lounge bar is stocked with a wide range of whiskies.

Dervaig is a good base from which to explore this corner of Mull and for those without a car, there is a bus service from Tobermory to Calgary which stops at the entrance to the Hall grounds. Ulva Ferry is not far away. Boat trips from there to the Treshnish Isles and Staffa, and a short ferry crossing to the Island of Ulva (beautiful woodlands, walks, historic places and tearoom.
