A few local details make life easier once you’re here. Breakfast and dinner spots fill quickly in summer — we’ve listed a few of our favourites below, along with taxi numbers, tour contacts, and everyday essentials like laundry services.
Here’s some information that might come in handy.
PARKING:
The property does not have guest parking.
There are a few different parking arrangements,
1.Ideally the best option is if you can park along the harbour as long as you aren’t parking on a double yellow line, in any coned off areas and you’re not blocking the slipway/access points, this parking is free.
2. You could park in Somerled Square Car Park, they charge for parking between 8:00am to 6:00pm £3 for a maximum of 2 hours, and overnight parking is free.
3. You can park in the community centre. This parking is free; however, it is a ten-minute walk away.
4. You could park in The Green Car Park, they charge for parking between 8:00am to 6:00pm £3 for a maximum of 2 hours, and overnight parking is free.
5. You could park in Bayfield West Car Park, they charge for parking between 8:00am to 8:00pm for £3 for up to 3 hours, £4 for up to 6 hours and £5 for up to 12 hours, and overnight parking is free.
Please keep in mind wherever you choose to park that all the parking places are on a first come first serve basis so if you move from your place, most likely someone else will have taken it.
