How to get there
The cottage sits midway between the ferry ports of Lochboisdale and Lochmaddy and just 6 miles from Benbecula airport. It is about 3 miles along the remote road to Peters Port. It is worth noting that the Grimsay Island where the cottage lies, is a very small island at the southern side of Benbecula, not the somewhat larger and better known Isle of Grimsay to the south of North Uist.
Please note: the Saturday ferries get booked very early during the season, guests are strongly advised to book the ferry when they book the accomodation.

Getting around
Although there are a few buses which run between Berneray and Eriskay, realistically a car is pretty essential to get around. The cottage is about 2 miles from the shops and nearest bus stop. Some of the main road from the north to south of the Hebrides is double track, but most of the roads on the islands are single track with passing places.
