Kittiwake was hand-built using locally sourced wood, with a boat repurposed as part of the roof — a distinctive touch that connects you to the maritime heritage of the Hebrides.

★★★★★"I had a great couple of nights staying here! The hut is in a beautiful location with a great view of Calgary Bay. It is very peaceful and comfortable. There is very little phone signal in the area which allows you to disconnect and have a break! I'd recommend it to those wanting to be immersed in nature in a beautiful corner of the Isle of Mull."
★★★★★"We had an absolutely lovely stay in the Kittiwake. It was so peaceful and allowed us to really relax and enjoy ourselves. The Kittiwake itself is amazing, well built and insulated, and having the log fire on was lovely. The location is fantastic — Calgary Bay beach is beautiful. Recommend to anyone who likes a unique, exciting and beautifully situated stay!"
★★★★★"We woke up not to the monotonous alarm tone, but to the sound of birds singing. After travelling around Scotland for myriad weekends, hopping over various coasts, we can confidently say that Calgary Bay, by far, is the best beach we have seen."
