Seaview
Bed and Breakfast accommodation is a traditional Hebridean home
built in the 1870's from local Ross of Mull pink granite and is the
closest en-suite
accommodation to the Iona and
Staffa ferries. We are a minute's walk from both ferries, and
ideally located in the village centre of Fionnphort (gateway to
the Sea Kingdom and the Isle of Iona),
close to all the local amenities.
We
are a family run
bed and breakfast, and John & Jane honour a long
tradition of Hebridean hospitality. Every effort is made to make your stay as
comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Many of our guests tell
us that it is reassuring to find on their arrival here at Seaview that not only
do we meet their expectations but we exceed them as well, and our website accurately reflects what we say we can
and will offer our guests. We look forward to helping you get the most
from your stay.
Seaview is situated between The Ferry
Shop & Post Office and The Keel Row restaurant and pub. The bus
stop is one minute’s walk away and you can park
your car on our private off-road car park in front of the house. Through the windows, you can gaze for
hours upon the white sands of the beach below and across the azure blue waters
of the Sound of Iona to the historic Iona Abbey and Treshnish Isles
beyond.
Seaview is a 'Visitscotland' quality assured
bed &
breakfast
accommodation provider and has been established since 1990; in
August 2005 (and again in 2007) Seaview received the Gold Award
from the
Green Business Tourism Scheme
in recognition of our excellent environmentally and ecologically
friendly business practices.
Our
five “island” bedrooms,
Staffa, Soa, Lunga, Iona and Erraid are all
individually furnished and decorated providing all the home comforts you
would expect, and, if the weather turns a little stormy, then you are
welcome to spend the day in our sitting room gazing across the Sound of
Iona to the Abbey and
Treshnish Islands. The sitting room also hosts a
fine library of Scottish,
Mull and Iona books and guides.

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.
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
exploration, discovery and adventure on this wondrous magical island of
Mull.

Evening
meals are served at Seaview
throughout the Spring, Autumn and
Winter months - traditional, wholesome, delicious, home cooked food using fresh,
local and seasonal produce. As part of our Green
Business ethos we 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 Seafood Dinners -
quoted by one guest on tripadvisor.com '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 seafood is
locally caught, available by request and subject to the day's catch at the pier.
Between 1 May and 31 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. For further details and information on
places to eat click

John
is a retired shell and lobster fisherman;
weather and time permitting he is happy to take guests around the local coastlines of the
Ross of Mull and Iona exploring the hidden coves and idyllic bays in his fishing
boat 'Wanderer', perhaps lifting a lobster pot or two to see
how crabs and lobsters are caught.
If you are a keen fisherman or angler, you will find plenty more information of
interest on the
fishing page.

The
Ross of Mull is riddled with hidden treasures
such as Lochbuie Standing Stones,
Carsaig Arches,
Burg Fossil Tree, fossil leaf beds at
Ardtun,
Ross of Mull Historical
Centre, a galaxy of powder white beaches, and throughout are gems galore
for the intrepid and less adventurous explorer. Mull is a 'mecca' for
geologists and for those of you who just love collecting rocks and pebbles
and marveling at how this beautiful island was created then have a look at the
GEOLOGY page.
For those of you who love walking, the Ross of Mull has some
great walks on offer to suit all abilities. If you
love the great outdoors, then this is the place to come. We both love walking
and time permitting will spend as much of our spare time out and about - we have
walked the walks on this website and can recommend all, some or the odd walk for
you depending on your ability, time and the weather. Seaview is also a member of
the Walkers Welcome scheme run by Visit Scotland and offer our walking
guests all the facilities required to make your stay as comfortable and
enjoyable as we can. |
