Win a cosy cottage stay on Mull

Dreaming of a Scottish island escape? One lucky winner will receive a week-long stay at Fern Cottage on the Isle of Mull, a dog-friendly self-catering hideaway tucked on a hillside with sea views on the southern shore of Mull in the Inner Hebrides. The cottage sits on a quiet family estate and offers a warm welcome from the moment you arrive, with sunlit rooms, wooden beams, and a sense that the island is yours to explore at a relaxed pace.

Inside, the cottage blends traditional charm with modern comfort. Two serene bedrooms welcome up to four guests, a wood-burning stove glows in the living room, and windows frame the loch and the island’s wild beauty. The interior is warm and inviting, with thoughtful touches that make you feel instantly at home as soon as you step through the door. The living spaces are designed for lingering—cozy sofas, a well-equipped kitchen, and every detail chosen to make your time in Mull feel special.

Outside, the island awaits: Tobermory’s colorful lanes, dramatic coastal paths, and rolling hills are all within easy reach. It’s a place to breathe deeply, listen to the wind, watch the birds skim the water, and enjoy long, leisurely days that slow time to island pace. For those seeking a digital detox, Fern Cottage offers a refreshing break from screens and constant notifications, inviting you to reconnect with nature, friends, and the small joys of a Scottish stay. You’ll wake to birdsong and the scent of salt in the air, ready to step into fresh coastal air and wide-open skies.

The prize is a week-long escape for up to four guests, with dates allocated on availability and subject to owner confirmation of changeover days. The closing date is 13 May 2026 at 23:59, and the stay is redeemable until 30 April 2027, giving you a generous window to schedule your perfect Mull getaway. Travel to Mull is not included, but once you arrive you’ll find a welcoming home-away-from-home ready for memories to be made. The week can be enjoyed in a variety of ways—from scenic hikes along rugged shorelines to peaceful evenings by the stove, watching the sunset over the water with a cup of tea in hand.

Fern Cottage is part of a curated collection of properties celebrated for their character, comfort and location across the UK. This competition invites you to imagine beachfront mornings, cozy evenings by the stove, and the soft hush of island evenings as you unwind in a cottage that feels both timeless and wonderfully lived-in. Whether you’re a couple looking for a quiet retreat or a family seeking a change of pace, Mull’s landscapes and this little harbour-side retreat offer a unique backdrop for your next Scottish story. It’s a place where you can slow down, savor the moment, and create memories that feel a little magical as the Atlantic breeze carries the telltale sound of waves and laughter across the water.
