| Details of the cottage | ||
|
The cottage is an old family cottage which is rented out. It is in fair but not perfect condition. We regularly maintain the cottage but it is in an exposed location and suffers from the elements. The cottage is a couple of meters from the water's edge which is lovely but it could be dangerous for young unsupervised children. Dogs are welcome The accommodation is as follows; |
||
| Kitchen - Cooker, Fridge, Washing Machine (there is a rack for drying),Sink and storage. There are general cooking utensils (pots, pans and dishes) and general crockery and cultrery. | ||
| Sitting Room - 2 armchairs, sofa & bean bags. There is a central open fire which should be laid when you arrive which is mainly coal burning (which you can get from the local town). There is no TV or telephone but there is a well stocked bookcase. Heating is electric night storage. | ||
| Bedroom 1 - Upstairs main bedroom. Double bed - blankets supplied but bring your own sheets | ||
| Bedroom 2- Upstairs second bedroom. Twin single beds- blankets supplied but bring your own sheets | ||
| Bedroom 3 - Ground floor extension bedroom. Bunk bed - blankets supplied but bring your own sheets | ||

| Access | ||
| By car - From the road to the cottage is a 60m path.The path down to the cottage is quite steep and slippery. This makes it unsuitable for elderly/frail people. It is also difficult to wheel prams/trolleys/chairs down the slope. | ||
| Parking - There is a place to park 30m beyond where the path to the cottage meets road. | ||

| Walking | ||
| There are many walks on the island, from short half hour walks to serious treks. You can walk for hours though someof the most beautiful landscape in the country without coming across another soul. The landscape is wild and rugged. | ||
| Climbing | ||
| There are a great variety of climbs on offer from short hikes to some of the most serious rock faces in Britain. Since the mountains are relatively small, most climbs only take a few hours but offer amazing views. | ||
| Fishing | ||
| There is a great deal of fishing. From in front of the cottage you can catch mackeral and cod. Salomon, brown trout and sea trout can be fished in several lochs on the island. | ||
| Sites | ||
| There are several interesting ancient & historical sites. Particularly worth visiting are the Callinish Stones (prehistoric standing stone circle), Dun Carloway (an old broch dating back to Viking times) & Rodel Church (16th century church based on the monastery at Iona) | ||
