Guest access A car is essential for staying at the house. The house itself is in a remote location, which offers the perfect escape. The village of Elgol is 4 miles away, where there is a local shop/cafe (see under Guidebook below for opening hours) and it is a 25 minute drive from Broadford. The house is accessed via a rural track, which is perfectly suitable for most cars, if driven carefully, but it is not recommended for cars with low suspension such as sports cars. There is an enclosed garden at the front of the house, with a bench to sit on and admire the views. The surrounding land which extends along the coast belongs to the house, and walks along the shore or on the track can be relaxing and rejuvenating. There is easy access to the shore below, where you may be lucky enough to spot an otter or two! For those interested in sailing, windsurfing or canoeing, there is a slip quite close to the house. This does not belong to the house but guests may be permitted to use it by prior arrangement. Please let us know if you'd like more information.
