Other things to note
(PLEASE NOTE WE ARE IN LEWIS NOT HARRIS)

We have lovely sea views we are NOT on the beachfront & please read carefully about the pod description about location of this pod & where it is. As previously stated in the Pod description, this pod is within our garden area along our driveway in front of our family home.


*The Water Tank In The Pod Is 30ltr So When Showering You Will Get About 10 Minutes In The Shower. If You Leave Half An Hour Between Showers It Will Give It Plenty Time For It To Heat Up Hot Again.
(While waiting for it to heat up, try not to use the hot tap in the kitchenette or bathroom sink as this will reduce the heat up time from the tank)

When Using The Cooker You Will Need To Turn On The Far Left Cooker Knob Round To Max For The Cooker To Come On If You Don't Do This The Cooker Rings Won't Heat Up As This Is A Safety Feature On The Cooker.

The cold water in the pod is drinkable.

Please note that there are very limited openings around the island on a sunday, no bus services either.

* In the summer months, the ferry is extremely busy. It's advisable to book the ferry in advance Passenger & Car *

Neighbourhood highlights

We live in the quiet village area of High Borve on the Westside of Lewis, a short drive from butt of Ness lighthouse and a lot of other attractions on the Westside. Coming to stay here, you need to have a car NOT ideal for a person wanting to use public transport as it can make it difficult to get around. A great pit stop if you're doing the hebridean way. The area does have a local shop & a local hotel that serves food & drink & they do takeaway food too.
So, if you're looking for somewhere quiet to stay, then this is ideal for you.
