Salen Pier Holidays, Salen, Isle of Mull
The pier itself has historical significance, once serving as the nearest point on Mull to Oban. Before the introduction of the car ferry at Craignure in 1964, Salen Pier was an important landing place where goods, and occasionally cars, were transferred between Oban and the south of Mull. Today, it stands as a place of heritage and charm, reimagined for modern visitors who wish to experience the island’s stunning coastal scenery.
The accommodation includes three beautifully furnished properties, all designed to provide guests with a memorable and relaxing stay. Salen Pier Point and Salen Pier Haven are particularly special, being the only holiday properties located directly on a pier anywhere in the UK.
Salen Pier House sleeps up to 14 guests across eight bedrooms and offers a perfect setting for families and groups. The property features a spacious lounge with ample seating, a Sony Smart TV, DVD player, Sonos sound system, and a log-burning stove. The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric range cooker, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, food processor, large fridge freezer, and wine fridge. A large conservatory with dining space provides a wonderful spot to enjoy meals while taking in the panoramic views. The first floor includes the Pier Suite and Forsa Suite, both with en suite facilities and Juliet balconies overlooking the Sound, along with a twin and single room. The ground floor has three twin rooms and one single, each with beautiful views, along with a shower room and a bath/shower room. Outside, guests can enjoy al fresco dining on the patio or unwind in the hot tub while admiring the scenery.
Salen Pier Point offers accommodation for four guests and provides a truly distinctive stay on the pier itself. The lounge features a TV, DVD player, and Sonos sound system, and the modern kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, induction hob, and combi oven washer/dryer. Two en suite bedrooms are available, one with a super king bed and the other with twin beds. Guests can relax and enjoy views of the Sound of Mull and Glenforsa airstrip in the distance.
Salen Pier Haven is designed for two guests and sits right at the head of the pier. It includes a compact galley kitchen with induction hob, a shower room, and a lounge area offering two-aspect sea views, a Sony TV, and Sonos sound system. The property is an ideal retreat for couples seeking privacy and tranquillity in a breathtaking coastal setting.
Visitors to Salen Pier Holidays can explore a variety of nearby attractions. The town of Tobermory offers tea rooms, pubs, restaurants, and local craft shops, as well as a distillery and the Glengorm Castle Estate. Other highlights include Duart Castle, Fingal’s Cave, Iona Abbey, Ben More, and Calgary Bay, all of which showcase the diverse beauty and culture of the Isle of Mull.
