Getting around
Getting around is very easy. The bus stops only a matter of a few meters from the gate of the house as it turns on its way back to town again, usually at intervals of 20-30 mins It simply could not be more convenient. Taxis drivers are familiar with the house too and it's reasonably cheap. If you are bringing your own bikes, it is about half an hour to cover the 7.1 miles and mostly flat to the centre of town. By car (recommended), a quick tour of the island is to head towards town, onwards to Barvas and take a right to Ness if you've time, or left to Carloway. At Carloway, follow the road to Uig for some remote but fantastic sights, or turn towards Luerbost and continue round the circle back to town.
