With long roads and beautiful landscape, the local area is perfect for those looking for a cycling holiday, and you can hire bikes, or bring your own and explore the abundance of main road and single-track roads which weave through the rugged countryside of the island. Being so close to the sea and surrounded by beautiful sandy beaches, there is the opportunity to embark on a kayaking trip, or you can go fishing in the local harbours, and if you love seafood, then you will be delighted to find that there are several great seafood outlets and restaurants. Lochmaddy is the closest village to the property and offers a convenience store, pub and several cafes where you can enjoy a pint in the sunshine after a long day of hiking.
