Perhaps the best way to experience the true beauty of the
islands is by foot. There are a many walks just on our doorstep. Guided walks are available and marked walks with
corresponding leaflet guides too. If you want any more information
or simply want to borrow a pair of wellies for an afternoon
stroll, let us know and we will be happy to help you. |

There
are five golf courses in the Outer Hebrides, with the 18
hole Lewis course being just a 10 minute drive away set
in the beautiful grounds of Lews Castle. The islands have
extremely long daylight hours in the summer so a great opportunity
to play a few holes. There is no real need to book and if
you’re a learner and haven’t got your clubs
with you we have some you can borrow. Lewis and Harris golf
courses are not open on a Sunday. |

Cycling |
Due
to the rich history of the Outer Hebrides and the emigration
from the islands in years gone by, searching for your roots
has become an obsession for some! We will happily point
you in the right direction too find out more about your
ancestors. We also have a range of books and leaflets on
the history and ancestry of the islands. |
|
Whether
it’s a gentle road route or something a bit more challenging
the Outer Hebrides can offer it all. We can help you arrange bike hire in case you want a wee cycle down
to the beach or just for a bit of fun. If you arrive by
bike, we can offer you somewhere to dry clothes if need
be and can lock your bikes away overnight. |

The Outer Hebrides
is steeped in rich Gaelic culture and a warmth and kindness
you will feel when you visit. We’re happy that you
try out your Gaelic pronunciation on us! With a native Hebridean
in the house we’ll hopefully be able to help! |

Considered
a “game angler’s dream”, the Outer Hebrides,
in Lewis offer excellent Salmon fishing. If you need more
information on prices and booking we can help you, so let
us know in advance. We can also make you aware of all regulations
and conditions. Again we have a lockable area for storing
rods etc. |

The
Outer Hebrides - a wonderful place for adventure! If you
don’t want to sit still and fancy surfing, kayaking,
surf kiting, body boarding, then here is the place for you.
We can provide you with a wet room to dry your wet gear

to catch an early morning wave! If you need help with finding
more information on any activities please let us know and
we will point you in the right direction. |

With
such a diverse and unspoilt landscape it is no surprise
that the Outer Hebrides is such an outstanding example of
a natural environment. Beautiful beaches, crystal waters,
crashing waves, machairs covered in wild colourful flowers
make it well worth a visit! We have some books on the local
wildlife and are happy to point out the best areas for you
