The Farmhouse Remote Cottage South East Mull
The Farmhouse in Barrachandroman is a converted Scottish farmhouse in a rural, scenic lochside location in the South East side of Mull. The area is superb for watching wildlife (otters, eagles, deer) and excellent for walking. The Farmhouse was a working farm until 1970 being one of several tenanted farms on the Lochbuie Estate.
