As circumstances locally and across the world continue to change in response to the pandemic, we will use this page to try to answer some of your questions about staying at Druimnacroish during this time.

For the foreseeable future, our hospitality is rightly offered in the context of government advice designed to keep everybody safe. These variations on our usual terms will last for as long as is required and may change at short notice and before you arrive. Please check back on this page for updates, or if you have questions, please do contact us.

Our local tourism group has produced a visitor charter with some useful advice.

If you are planning a Holiday to Mull this year...

The picture in the UK and internationally continues to be complex and changing in terms of restrictions on activities and travel. We intend to re-open as soon as restrictions allow and currently, it appears that 26th April is the very earliest that Holiday Accommodation will re-open in Scotland. In the mean time :

• We are taking B&B reservations but not charging deposits.
• We will either re-confirm or cancel your reservation 30 days before arrival, depending on restrictions in place at the time.
• We are still asking that self-catering reservations are pre-paid, however, if you have to cancel or change your reservation, we will offer an immediate and full refund.
• Once open, we will continue to follow recommended procedures to minimise the risk of virus transmission.

Before you Travel

• Please check back on this page for any updates.
• Do not set off if travel outside your area, or into our area is not permitted. Holidays are not essential travel.
• Do not set off if you are displaying any symptoms or have been asked to self-isolate.

While you are staying with us

• We have reduced the amount of soft furnishings and extras pillows in your room, but these are still available on request.
• You should wear a face covering in any shared spaces, except when eating or drinking.
• You can still borrow books, maps and games from the lounge, but we ask that you return them to a "quarantine" area where they can be sanitised before being used by other guests.
• Our laundry service is not available.

For Bed & Breakfast guests :

• We have changed the way we serve breakfast, to meet social distancing and enhanced hygiene standards. We ask everyone to set a breakfast time so that we can be sure to spread out. We ask you to order everything from your table, rather than approach a shared buffet.
• Touch surfaces in the shared areas of the Guest House are regularly sanitised.
• Hand sanitiser is available where items may be handled by more than one person.
• We are making increased provision for you to bring take-away food back from local businesses and enjoy an evening meal here in the conservatory. Tables must be pre-booked to ensure rules on distance and numbers are maintained.
• We will not be servicing your room every day.
• Some facilities have been simplified to reduce items being handled.

What else is open on the island ?

• As we are currently off-season, many restaurants and attractions on the island are not open. Capacity is reduced in those which are. However the great outdoors and wildlife remain blissfully unaffected.
• In terms of eating out
  • Our most local restaurant is The Bellachroy. They have very limited opening at present / takeaway only.
  • In Tobermory there are a number of restaurants and pubs: Macgoghans, the Mishnish, Tobermory Hotel and others offering both sit-in (when possible) and take-away.
  • We expect most restaurants will re-open when restrictions are lifted (including the nearby Am Birlinn)
• The local VisitScotland office in Craignure is trying to maintain a list of everything that is open on the island, including Attractions and Eating Places. You can contact them by phone 01680 812377 or email craignure@visitscotland.com for a copy of the list.

We will continue to update this page as and when we can.
