NORMANN'S RUH - A PLACE OF HISTORY
Normann’s Ruh was built in memory of Willy de Normann, who married one of the Maclean daughters, loved Torloisk, and tragically died in 1860 while serving at the British Legation in China. Some of the beautiful pieces of china which he sent home from the Far East are still on display at Torloisk House today.
Normann’s Ruh - meaning Normann's Rest - was built in 1864 and was originally two small cottages. Intended to house the older people in the Fanmore area, the building was erected at the same time as the original road from Fanmore to Kilninian Church was constructed by the Torloisk estate.

A much needed rest from work. The cottage was a haven from the world...cosy and remote. Perfect.
Lovely cosy cottage and the views are amazing. Had a full on packed couple of days.
A magical cottage on a magical island! We couldn't ask for more. A wonderful place to spend my birthday, we would love to have stayed a lot longer to explore more the island though so we will be back again soon.
The most adorable little cottage! So warm, cosy and with all the necessities! We had a wonderful few days on our girls trip. Thank you Normann's Ruh for a magical stay, we will be back!
Normann's Ruh is a magical spot to stay and relax and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. We look forward to returning.
We had a wonderful time, Normann’s Ruh was just lovely !
We loved our stay in the cosy cottage whilst it was stormy outside. Aros waterfall was a highlight as so peaceful. Beautiful view from the cottage. Hope to be back in the future.
A very happy stay over New Year - thanks Natalie. The location is perfect for a quiet retreat away from the busyness and the beauty of Mull is stunning - changing from moment to moment. The cottage is very comfy and has all we needed - felt like home. Will recommend this fantastic gem of a place and come to stay again for sure, been a wonderful beginning to 2025.
Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautful cottage. We loved it. Everything was perfect and those views, wow!!
Lovely cottage, cosy and everything you need. Had a great time. Can't wait to recommend and share our wonderful experience. Thank you.
What a lovely time we had at Normann’s Ruh. Perfect little house that had everything we needed.
What a spectacular view! Especially with the highland cattle in the front of the house in the morning. Trip to Iona was an adventure! Thanks a lot for the little cottage.
So glad our friend recommened this place. What a peaceful, cosy cottage. We had a great time, swam at Black Beach, walked with the art at Calgary, took a drive to Benmore and today picking up supplies of cheese and tasty biscuits to take home with us.
Been dreaming of starting a new life on Mull and never returning home! It is so beautiful, tranquil and has given us perspective on life! Incredible walks, the best day on Ulva, the cottage is a dream - thank you to Natalie and team. A very memorable and happy holiday.
Your little cottage is a jewel of calm and serenity. We had an excellent stay discovering Mull and will keep sublime memories of it. Thank you.
The cottage was the perfect stay for us and especially our toddler who loved exploring the garden. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.
Wonderful time in this lovely house. Playng golf in sunny weather and lying on the beach at Fionnphort. We loved dining at Croft 3, walking distance, great food and owners so kind. Having travelled all over the world Scotland has become our favourite!
A really lovely stay, enjoying the varying landscapes, fauna and flora. There is so much to explore and enjoy here on the Isle of Mull, and here around Normann's Ruh. I could easily stay a month and not take it all in!
We have had a wonderful time here and fallen in love with Mull. The views and sunsets spectacular. Highlights include the boat trip to Lunga for the puffins and Staffa for the astonishing geology. Tajing the ferry to Ulva for a delicious lunch at the Boathouse Cafe and walking the headland at Treshnish to see the magnificient coastal views, ruined villages and sightings of white tailed eagles and red deer. We'll be back.
Excellent cottage and location.
I hope you enjoy this beautiful cottage as much as we did.
We've had a lovely stay and consider ourselves very likely to return, it's a fab cottage, very peaceful, loads of vociferous garden birds, warm and cosy, well equipped.
We had a great time and the cottage was excellent. Well presented clean and warm, everything we needed. I would certainly use it again and recommend it. We also had good weather and saw lots of eagles, fallow deer, otters, red deer, geese and much more.
A wonderful place to stay. It’s a great location for Calgary, Tobermory, sea trips and Ulva. Quite a drive to see Iona but it’s worth it as the drive across is spectacular.
