What Do I Need to Know About the Heating?
Each room has an electric heater which is on a timer, if you feel it is too hot turn the temperature dial down or switch off completely. Too cold, turn
temperature up and switch from timer (clock symbol) to manual (hand symbol).
Main House living areas
Power to the storage heaters is controlled remotely by Scottish Hydro Electric. To
increase heat, turn ‘output’ and ‘input’ dials up and the reverse to decrease heat.
End house
The oil filled radiators are in timers, the temperature can be turned up and down
using the arrows.
What Do I Need to Know About the Fireplace?
Wood burning stove
Once the fire has been set, open valves along the top of the stove and light. After the
fire has taken, the valves can be closed as desired. Please put newspaper down before

can be purchased from AD Munro in Tarbert or the recycling Centre in Urgha sell

The Password for the Hub is case sensitive, so please enter exactly as shown above. Please be aware that the download speeds and service reliability may be lower than you are used to. Due to the surrounding hills you are unlikely to be able to use a mobile phone inside the house but depending on your service provider, you should be able to get a signal in the garden. You may be able to access 4G in Tarbert and some parts of the island. EE often has the best coverage.

Tips and Tricks for Driving on the Island!
Stop Safely and Reverse Carefully:
Always be able to stop within the distance you can safely see along the road. Be able to reverse when required and be aware of the ditches close to the edge of the carriageway.
Keep an Eye Out for Animals:
Be on the look out for animals such as sheep, cattle and deer; give way to them. Sheep often lie in the Bunavoneader road junction, at night.
Be Courteous at Road Ends
If you are approaching the end of a two-way stretch of road, give way to oncoming traffic on the single-track.
Stay in Your Car at Passing Spots:
Do not leave your vehicle when in a passing place, even if the road seems empty.
Watch Your Back:
Use your rear-view mirror to keep a look out for any tailback of vehicles behind you, signal and pull into the nearest passing place when safe to do so.
Follow Passing Place Rules:
Whoever reaches a passing place first should give way to oncoming traffic. However, priority should always be given to traffic coming uphill.
Use Passing Spots Smartly:
If the passing place is on your left, pull in to let oncoming traffic get past. If the passing place is on your right, stop along side it; leaving enough room for the oncoming vehicle to pass safely.
Slow Down for Walkers and Riders:
Be aware of pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders; slow down for them as it can often be a tight squeeze.
