We really have enjoyed our time here. This Isle of Mull self catering accommodation is excellent and Helen and Phil are genuinely warm and friendly hosts. Thanks for all the interesting books, they were well used. Fortunately the weather was so good. Next week the Isle of Mull will seem like a million miles away but we have memories to last a lifetime.

Once again enjoyed this, our third visit to Twelve Oaks self catering. The highlight was photographing a White tailed sea eagle near the road. We also had superb views of male and female Hen harrier at the Kinloch end of Glen More. Thanks once again to Helen and Phil for the excellent Isle of Mull self catering accommodation and hospitality.
