Seaview is an
award winning (Scottish
Thistle Award Winner 2010 for the Extra Mile - Small Business), VisitScotland quality assured
4 star
bed &
breakfast
accommodation provider and has been established since 1990; in
August 2005 (in 2007, and again in 2010) Seaview received the Gold Award
from the
Green Business Tourism Scheme
in recognition of our excellent environmentally and ecologically
friendly business practices. We are the only 4 star bed & breakfast with
a Gold Green Tourism Business Award on the Ross of Mull, and only one of
13 throughout the whole of Scotland.
Seaview
Bed and Breakfast accommodation is a traditional
style Hebridean cottage
built in the 1860's from local Ross of Mull pink granite and is the
closest 4 star en-suite
accommodation to the Iona and
Staffa ferries. We are a minute's walk from both ferries, and
ideally located in the heart of the village of Fionnphort (gateway to
the Sea Kingdom and the Isle of Iona),
close to all the local village amenities.
Seaview is run by husband and wife team John and Jane Noddings, ably
assisted by their chocolate Labrador Retriever Megan and joined in
October 2010 by one of Megan's daughter's Lainie. John and Jane
honour a long tradition of Hebridean hospitality and make every effort
to ensure your stay is 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 often 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
in the heart of the village conveniently located 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.
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 browsing through our fine library of Scottish
and local history books and guides or relax and enjoy the panoramic
views across the Sound of
Iona to the Abbey and
Treshnish Islands.

 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
exploration, discovery and adventure on this wondrous magical island 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 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 '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 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
Ross of Mull is a haven of hidden treasures
such as the 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 marvelling 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

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
