The cottage is heated by an environmentally-friendly air source heat pump, backed up by an oil stove if it is really cold. There is no extra charge for heating.
Mobile phone reception is variable in this part of the island, but BT (EE, Orange, T-mobile) works perfectly.

The cottage is situated right by the seashore in the extensive grounds of the owners' house, but enjoys complete seclusion from it and other properties in this crofting township. Please note that it is not possible to park cars immediately beside the cottage. There is a short walk of about 80 metres down a gently sloping gravel track from the car parking area.
As sheep regularly roam along the shore right beside the cottage, we regret we cannot accept dogs.
Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the building or its grounds.
The neighbouring village of Broadford, two miles away, has a comprehensive range of shops and amenities and there are a number of good restaurants nearby. We encourage guests to shop locally to support local businesses.
