Greenleaves is a working croft in Mull
Greenleaves is run from a family croft based on the Isle of Mull, on the West coast of Scotland.
For those looking for a peaceful, affordable, back-to-nature space for a quiet retreat or as a base to explore Mull, come and stay!
About Us
Thirteen years ago we (Philip and Celia, with our 2 children, Isaac, age 8, and Bea, age 6,) uprooted ourselves from the North East of England and took a chance on a bareland croft on the Isle of Mull.
Empty but for bog, rock, bracken, heather, wild flowers and a patch of native trees. We spent long winters in a caravan while we watched our children outgrow the space, built our house, and started to bring the land back into use.
Visiting Us
We love sharing our croft with others and offer holiday accommodation in our eco-hut and spacious, cabin style caravan – renovated since we lived there while we built our house!
We also offer the opportunity to stay with us in exchange for help on the croft, through Help Exchange.
Croft Stays
Nestled at the edge of a wee native hazel woodland, our cosy retreat hut offers a back-to-nature experience, while providing the luxury of a comfy bed and toasty warm stove. Wake to the sight of red deer running past the window, watch the sun go down behind distant hills, fill your lungs with clean air, relish the peace and solitude.
Our spacious, cabin-style caravan will soon be available. Newly renovated and timber lined, with a fabulous view, the caravan will sleep up to 4 in full-size beds
We can offer recommendations for hidden away beaches, wild swimming spots and places to walk off the beaten track.
We are a perfect base for exploring Mull and Iona, or for staying still.
