Other things to note Melvaig is a beautiful crofting community so there are fields with sheep, cows and other farm animals. Please be respectful of this and also keep your dog on its lead at all times when walking your dog. In Melvaig there is poor mobile phone reception (BT and EE are best here though) and there is no landline in the property. However, there is broadband for WiFi calling. In an emergency please call into the owners next door. The property is strictly for 2 people (no overnight friends in campervans in the driveway please) and up to 2 well behaved small to medium pets. Getting to the Sea Croft is straight forward. You take the road through Gairloch and then turn off into the Village passing the Police station heading towards Big Sands Camp Site. Keep going straight on this road out towards Melvaig. It is about 9 miles from Gairloch but should only take you about 20 minutes careful driving on the single track road. There may also be animals like sheep and deer roaming so be aware and pot holes! Please note there are no shops in Melvaig so your last chance for shopping is in Gairloch. It has mini markets, chemist, butchers, deli, coffe shops, restaurants, bars, Post office and ATMs and electric car charger point. Once you pass the small bridge and the sign for Melvaig you continue up the wee hill. Our white cottage is the first on your left. You continue past us and go up to the big gate where you can enter and park your vehicle right outside the SeaCroft or in front of the gate. To lock the front door when leaving for the day, lift handle up and lock with key. The tap water in the cottage is safe to drink. In case of any electrical trips, the fuse box is located in the back of the hall cupboard. The WiFi is run off a WIFI extender from our property and is good enough for streaming to devices. If signal drops, try switching the WiFi box (behind the sofa) off/on. Don't forget we have included free Netflix and Sky Entertainment through NowTV on the Smart TV for you. Please note our neighbour keeps bees just in case your are allergic to them and also some sheep so keep an eye on your pets whilst in the garden. There is an outside cold water tap at the main gate and a hose can be provided for washing down either your dog or car. We have gas central heating which is on a shared boiler system next door to you. The heating is set to activate in the SeaCroft at 07:30, 10:30, 18:00 & 23:00. You can adjust the thermostat by adjusting the +/- buttons only. You can also adjust the the radiators. It is always recommended you take out travel insurance. I strongly recommend that you have car breakdown insurance for peace of mind too. It can sometimes take up to 3 hours for local recovery in peak times so if you can, carry a space saver emergency tyre incase of a blow out. Registration Details HI-10348-F
