Two summers ago I went with my partner to the Isle of Mull in Scotland
for our summer holiday. We camped on a wildly beautiful beach for a
week (I feel guilty to say where - to spoil the secret - but there are
plenty to choose from) and then we treated ourselves to two nights in
a little luxurious hotel. There are also loads of beautiful bed and
breakfasts and little hotels and we have never eaten so well in our
lives - always fresh local produce, lots of fish and home grown
vegetables.

We had such an amazing time that last Summer we decided to
go to Scotland again - this time to the Isle of Skye and then across
to Harris. Again I feel guilty to tell the secrets of this place but
the beaches on Harris in particular are mindblowingly beautiful. When
we show people our holiday pictures, they don't believe it is Scotland
- white white sand beach - all to ourselves, with turquoise blue sea
and the most serene mountain backdrop.

We had two days of horrible
rain but the rest of the time it was blazing sun- we both came home
with deep tans after 10 days. On the 2 days that it rained we went sea
kayaking.

I fell in love with this place for the beach, the food, the hospitality and the location.

Calgary Hotel is 300m up the road from the beautiful white sands of Calgary Beach, in a small green valley banked with mature deciduous woodland. The hotel has been converted from farm steadings but still retains the friendly farmhouse atmosphere and character, while creating comfortable and attractive accommodation.

The owners are artists and put on fabulous exhitibitions by local crafts people.

Finally, the food is to die for - local produce cooked to perfection.

This is a huge old house sleeping ten at the end of a lovely little road right by the sea. Its rich history adds to the charm and the wildlife is abundant.

Just watching the mood of the sea and sky changing every day was spectacular.

We spent a wonderful week on the island and would recommend a trip to Mull to anyone - a stunning island you could spend years exploring.

During a brief island hoping tour of the Hebrides I chose the wrong night to stay on Mull. The island is renowned for its pretty little harbour or Tobermory or Ballymory as any 5 year old will tell you. But its also known in the motor racing fraternity (of which i'm not a member) for the Tour of Mull Rally in October - a night time highspeed race across the islands narrow roads.

I was completely oblivious to this, as i sailed over on the last boat to the isle and was informed by one B&B owner, highly amused that i hadn't pre-booked, that 'Jesus Christ himself couldn't get a room on the island the neet'. I did eventually manage it - but i'd certainly recommend checking first if visiting Mull in October.
