I'm looking for a single person to stay in my cottage and host B&B guests.  You will need to be clean, tidy and committed to giving visitors the best experience possible during their stay.  The dates I have given can be flexible and I'm open to suggestions from people who would be able to cover only part of the time. There are plenty of free nights so no frantic change overs.

You need to be happy to be in a remote location, the nearest shop is 6 rough but very scenic miles away.  You'll need to feel confident about dealing with problems such as lack of power or water.  Help is available, but can take some time to arrive, especially if it has to come from the mainland.

I have no pets to look after but need someone who can keep the cottage clean and present the letting room in good order.  You will need to be in residence to meet and greet people when they arrive but able to stay in the background if guests want privacy.  You will also need to arrange breakfast supplies which I will pay for, but people are usually happy to cater for themselves so no cooking involved. The cottage is small but has a large garden that needs some attention to keep the worst of the spring growth in check.

The house is in a wonderful and fairly remote location in NW Mull with superb sea and mountain views.  Excellent walking area and very quiet.  Oil heating and open fire, comfortable and cosy, lived in feel.   Wifi is available but it's not too speedy.  Radio and iplayer can be accessed through the internet but the quality is variable.  No TV, and no television or radio reception.  If the weather is very stormy, the power can go off,

You'll need a car unless happy to walk/bike, be aware that there are some steep hills. There is a community vehicle locally that goes to Tobermory occasionally for shopping, lifts can be arranged with neighbours and there's also a delivery service for groceries once a week.   There is a poor 2G mobile phone reception, Vodafone and O2 only.The location map is about 10 miles out.
