3 Location and Travel The Isle of Coll is a small Hebridean island some 4 miles west of Mull. The Isle of Tiree is to the southwest while the small isles of Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna all lie to the north. Travel to and from the island is either via car ferry from Oban, or via Hebridean flights from Oban Airport to the Isle of Coll Aerodrome which lies to the north of the castle. Tiree is only a short flight to the west and offers regular direct flights to Glasgow. Situation Achamore is located on the B8071 on the north side of the Island, which boasts the majority of Coll s most beautiful and untouched beaches, approximately 1.5 miles from the main settlement of Aringour. The island s 155 residents enjoy three shops (two grocery and a gift shop), a post office, café/restaurant and the award-winning Coll Hotel which has a restaurant and bar. The hotel is currently being extended to create a larger restaurant and bar with more rooms and there is a 2 million recently built community centre and bunkhouse both highlighting the increased popularity of the island. There is a primary school on the island and a full time doctor, pharmacy and fire station. The island, which forms part of the Inner Hebrides, is some 13 miles long and 3 miles wide and is well known for numerous white sandy beaches and beautiful turquoise water. The island has a number of historic sites, rare wildlife and diverse plant life. In the summer the Machair (Gaelic term for flat grassy land behind sand dunes) is home to an abundance of species including orchids, thyme and wild pansies. Traditional farming methods and the enriching effects of wind-blown sand also sustain a wide variety of insects and birds including corncrakes. The property is well situated to take advantage of the island s wildlife with the RSPB owned nature reserve nearby on which wildfowl, otters and brown hare are plentiful. Basking sharks are frequently seen around the island, while minke whales, porpoises and dolphins are also occasionally spotted.

An entrance porch leads to the inner hallway with the principal reception rooms to the front of the house. There is a sitting room with feature fireplace and multi-fuel stove, and a good sized dining room which opens into the kitchen. The kitchen has a range of wall and base units with integrated appliances and ample space for a table and chairs. There are stairs off the kitchen to one of the double bedrooms. A door from the kitchen leads to the rear hall where there is a gym area, shower room and utility room. A small barn has been converted to form a fantastic family room and conservatory with sauna and access to the gardens. There is a separate access to the front which allows this area to be selfcontained.

Barns and stables Three large barns and stables have been converted and restored. The middle barn has been restored with the stalls and feeders from the old farm. There is excellent storage space and doors which open onto the gardens.

The stables have been restored and new doors have been fitted to the stables and barns. Gardens and grounds There are wonderful mature gardens which surround the property. The red bridge over the lily ponds and waterfall in the rear garden are a real life copy of Monet s Water Lilies which you will find painted on the family room walls.
