If you know the story
of Fingal the giant, who strode from the giants causeway in Ireland to
our nearby magical Isle of Staffa, then you will know of
our very own legendary Fingal's Breakfast remembered and
enjoyed by all who pass this way.
(Click on the image of Fingal to see him eating his
breakfast).
Our hearty, scrumptious breakfasts and seasonal specials are without a doubt the
perfect start to the day, designed to set you up for hours of

Mull.
Evening
meals
are served at Seaview
during the Spring, Autumn and
Winter months (by prior arrangement only) - traditional, wholesome, delicious, home cooked food using fresh,
local and seasonal produce. As part of our Green
Business ethos, we are members of the
Slow Food Business Supporters Schemewhereby we have made a commitment to use local organic food whenever possible
and believe in supporting our farmers and crofters, fishermen and other
food producers on the island. This helps to reduce our carbon footprint
and cuts down on 'food miles' which in turn means that the food is
fresher and tastes much better. Our specialty is SeafoodDinners -
quoted by one guest on
tripadvisor 'as one of the
best he had in Scotland' - and having dined at two of the best seafood
restaurants in the whole of Scotland this guest claims we were better!
Our seafoodis
locally caught, available by request and subject to the day's catch at the pier.
Between May and August, evening meals are available from either the pub and restaurant next door
or other good
restaurants in the area which we are happy to recommend and make
reservations for you.

the magical islands of Mull, Iona,Staffa,Treshnish,
Erraid,
Ulva, Gometra and
Inch Kenneth all with their own unique charm
and history. We can help you plan
your itinerary so that you see as much as you can while you are here.
A
minute’s stroll to the pier and you catch the ferry to St Columba’s
Iona, but why not also catch the boat to Fingal’s puffin covered Isle
of Staffa.
For links through to boat trips out to Staffa and the Treshnish Isles
