Location:
The Island of Vatersay is the southernmost habited island in the Western Isles archipelago and is accessed via a causeway from the Island of Barra.
Just as short walk from the property is the stunning sandy beach with the Vatersay Community centre/café (open during the summer months). There is also a sub post office.
The nearest services are located in Castlebay on the Isle of Barra, approximately 6 miles away. Facilities in Castlebay include a primary and secondary school, community centre (with swimming pool), supermarket, post office, hospital, doctors and dental surgeries as well as a number of hotels and cafes, which in the summer months are normally busy with tourists. Castlebay is also the main ferry terminal for the island with the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry making twice daily visits in the summer time from Oban, in the winter time the ferry runs a more restricted service. A further smaller ferry operates from Ardmhor on Barra to Eriskay and regular scheduled flights operate from Glasgow and Benbecula with the famous cockle sands being used as a runway when tides permit.
Directions: From the Isle of Barra head across the causeway to Vatersay. Follow the road for about 5 miles and you will eventually come to a T-junction. Turn left. You will pass over a cattle grid and turn immediately right on to the track leading to No 15 Vatersay.
