Lip na Cloiche garden is situated close to the shoreline of the Isle of Mull, and has stunning views of Loch Tuath and the Isle of Ulva. It is well worth seeing, especially if you are interested in finding out which plants are likely to thrive in the mild local climate. A wide range of such plants is available for sale throughout the year, as well as fresh eggs and many craft items made from locally "found" materials.There is no admission charge. « less

When my partner suggested visiting here and described it I must admit I was not overly keen on the idea. However after visiting I have to say I was totally captivated by the unusual use of discarded materials, junk really, and the imaginative planting. The garden is created out of what was wild hillside and is steep, which makes it... More

We live on the island and visit Lip na Cloiche at least 4/5 times a year. Lucy is a fantastic gardener with great artistic flair. we purchase many plants from her as she only grows and sells plants that will survive on the island. She also has a range of cards and handmade objects for sale. Always worth a visit.

What a find! Amazing garden with so many unusual and beautiful plants. I have never seen a garden that is so lovingly cared for and in the most amazing place! Lucy has used her imagination and created a little piece of heaven on this most beautiful island.

Lucy's garden is a magnificent horticultural and creative achievement, and it was a special privilege to stay in the house also for two nights. The location in the north west of the island is tranquil and beautiful, but also convenient for the Ulva ferry and for the great beaches of Calgary Bay and Langamull. It's also reasonably close to Tobermory... More

A gorgeous garden carved out of the hillside with lots of inspirational ideas for re-using 'junk' to make paths, planters and plots.

The review title says it all... beautiful gardens situated in the most fantastic setting overlooking the west coast of Mull. The owner has obviously made this a labour of love - these are not just gardens, they are a work of art. We had a cup of coffee and a cake sitting surrounded by the most lovely and unusual plants,...

The most beautiful and artistic garden I've ever seen. Lucy the owner has clearly worked so hard. I left feeling full of inspiration. There is no admission charge but I think it's definatly worth a donation. 5 stars from me!

We arrived later than intended to a note on the door. Our hostess had gone to dinner with a friend. That was fine with us. We made coffee and let the cat in hoping that it was Lucy's cat. The bedroom, no, the whole downstairs was a place to be studied. The crafted found items, the collections, the glasswork, pottery,... More
