Shieling Holidays This is our second visit and have already booked for Aug this year. From arrival the welcome was warm and informative with a follow up check that all was well, when we had pitched up. The facilities are very well equipped and very clean, you can see they are well maintained. The views as you look out from the site are stunning. As a wildlife photographer I was taking shots of Otters 30m from my caravan door, it doesn't get any better than that. One thing that made me smile was every time I went into the reception there were people extending their stay including myself. Nearby is a pub with great food and a small shop for your daily fresh produce. The ferry is a one minute drive away or a five minute walk if you fancy a trip over to Oban as a foot passenger. Overall, friendly helpful staff, great value for money, stunning location, wonderful site.

Shieling Holidays We stayed here for one night mid September. It's a great place for getting off the ferry (5 mins walk away) and using as a base to move on from. The site has fantastic washing/showering facilities, and a communal room with microwave, freezer and sofas! Staff were very friendly and helpful and even repaired one of our rucksacks. Fantastic views of the sea and mountains and not a midge in sight! The Mull railway is a couple of minutes walk around the corner, and the Craignure Inn 5 mins walk, serving food till 9 in the evening. Worthy of a place in Scotland's Cool Camping book. A very pleaseurable stay, thanks! Type of accommodation: Tent Date: 03/10/2009 Was this review helpful for you? 5 of 11 found this review to be helpful.

Shieling Holidays What a fab site! This is a very friendly well run site with amazing views over the water. I don't know who thought up the idea for astroturf pitches, but they were fantastic! I've read reviews here about how hard it was to put pegs in - take a mallet! Even if you don't want to carry one, reception will give you one! The site was nice and clean and well run. The toilets/showers are housed in a Shieling (big BIG plastic tent), they were different, but clean and hot! Highly recommended!

If Disney made a campsite this would be it We found this campsite almost by accident but it turned out to be fantastic. Wonderful welcome, and not one blade of grass out of place - and beautifully clean. We are COMPLETE NOVICES but found pitching the tent on astroturf really easy. The views are breathtaking and although we intended to tour we loved the site so much that after 2 nights camping we MOVED INTO A SHIELING. Now thats what I call camping - it was fantastic. Own shower and toilet, constant hot water, electricity - I never knew camping could be like this. We are now converted and will definately be visiting again. A little piece of heaven.

Shieling Holidays Isle of Mull A truly awful experience ! We had prebooked to avoid disappointment but to our horror we were expected to pitch our 6 berth family tent on a tiny pitch of astroturf sandwiched between a toilet, a motorhome and the main entrance road through the site.This was clearly unsafe for our 4 and 6 year old as well as being a very unpleasant place to holiday for a week,but the staff would not budge and we were forced to find an alternative campsite and lose our hefty ?20 deposit. This despite the allocated pitch being too small for our tent.If booking here I would advise you to ask specifically for the top field which looked lovely or you too could end up in the car park area with no space to sit out and enjoy the magnificent views.

Great Site well run It is hard to find a better run site. Facilities very clean and include family and disabled toilets, games room, indoor area for cooking including microwave and free freezer for ice packs. Water pressure a bit low at peak times. Great views over Sound of Mull with otters on the shore, porpoises in the sea and eagles overhead. Astroturf piches are different but surprisingly good (mallet/hammer is required to get pegs in). No cars on site except on arrival/departure which makes for a great site for children. Try to get a pitch up the hill if possible for views etc. Type of accommodation: Unknown Date: 06/08/2006 Was this review helpful for you? 5 of 7 found this review to be helpful.

Astroturf Horror! Yes its all great as everyone has described. However, how anyone manages to get their tent pegs through the astroturf is beyond me. The holes in my hands were bigger then the ones I made in the ground. Makes me laugh now but at the time I was in pain! I pitched off to the side into the real ground in the end. And no I didn't have a mallet, I was travelling on my own by bike so don't pack that sort of thing. Otherwise it is a great site with a lovely shoreline to explore and the owners were very helpful with information for my onward journey.

Shieling Holidays Isle of Mull This site is great for exploring mull. Its close to the ferry there is a shop nearby as well as a pub that serves food. It can be difficult sometimes to get your tent pegs to stay in the astroturf but you can get round this by pitching it on the edge so that you are hammering the peg into the grass instead of the astroturf. It does make for a slightly warmer night with the astroturf under you. The facilities are first class however if you are very shy the moving toilet and shower walls are a bit of a worry. (They are made of some kind of strong seriously heavy duty type canvas.) The owner is very friendly and helpful and will provide you with tourist information as well. He also speaks french fluently. Cars are not allowed on the camping area except to unload your tent and things this is to protect any children who are playing.

Generally a good site with great views When we arrived Tents were being put onto what looked like a late arrivals area opposite the site office, avoid being put there. Best tent pitches are on the top area and all pitches have well drained astro turf covering (its like camping on a carpet).Great views across the bay to the mainland and a great pub a short distance from site. Toilet & shower facilities rather to few for the numbers using the site and when buisy the cleaning of these facilities could be better. Good facility for drying cloths (big open tent like structure), washing machine cold wash only. Would go back as its a great base to explore Mull.
