Brockville STB 4 Star Bed and Breakfast in Tobermory

Tobermory is a vibrant and picturesque town founded by the British Fisheries Society to benefit the people of Western Scotland in 1788.  

Queen Victoria herself could not help but comment on Tobermory's 'prettily situated' facade. The harbour front is distinctive for its brightly coloured buildings, giving a unique and recognisable image often photographed.

Tobermory Bay is famous for the wreck of a galleon of the Spanish Armada which sank carrying untold treasures. Several attempts have been made over the years to recover items from the galleon and the current Duke of Argyll is presently making further efforts. The wreck is allegedly located just a few metres off MacBrayne’s Pier. 

Behind MacBrayne's Pier is a track leading into the hazel woods. A short distance along from the ferry terminal, there is an old gun placement with the wooden gun carriage. Continue along the track for about 20 minutes, one comes out of the trees to an excellent view of Kilchoan on the Ardnamurchan Peninsula and Tobermory Lighthouse. If you're lucky you may spot the Common Seals but take care as this is a narrow coast cliff path with steep drops to the sea below.

In more recent times Tobermory has become renowned as ‘Balamory’. The filming of this popular BBC’s children’s TV series a few years ago now, still draws children from all over Britain to pay a visit.

The children should not miss a visit to Aros Park which is situated just a mile outside the town. The park is very well maintained by Forest Enterprise and has been developed as a recreational woodland with superb children's play areas, barbeque facilities and toilets – all free of charge. There are also 3 spectacular waterfalls within the park, one with a great viewing platform which enables you to take stunning photographs. 

Just above the town only a short walk away, you will find Tobermory Golf Club.  Visitors are always welcome, on this testing nine hole golf course and rewarded with some of the finest views anywhere in the world of golf, to augment that birdie experience, or to soothe that double-figure nightmare!  

Walking Tours, Boat Trips and Wildlife Trips are all available from Tobermory so it’s a great base for a few days stay on the island. Your hosts at Brockville, Helen and Gordon Chalmers, have vast experience of hospitality in the West Highlands of Scotland. They will be on hand to advise you how best to spend your time on Mull, to help you get the most out of your stay.
