Killoran House is one of those very special places you come across almost by accident. Situated in Dervig, on the Island of Mull, this magnificent guest house is an absolute delight.
Overlooking a small estuary, on entry, you are greeted by Tash and her husband. Tash's welcome is warm and genuine and really sets the tone for your stay. Their home is immaculate, beautifully furnished and dressed with care and attention. Bedrooms are all beautifully appointed. Our shower room was particularly spectacular. Tea and coffee, with fresh milk are all provided as part of the service. There is also a stunning
