If you’re flying in and wondering how to get to Tarasaigh House, the most convenient option is to land at Stornoway Airport. From there, it’s a scenic 75-minute drive south to Seilebost, with car hire available at the airport to make your journey straightforward and stress-free.
There are three island airports in the Outer Hebrides connecting the mainland: Stornoway Airport (Isle of Lewis), Benbecula Airport (Isle of Benbecula) and Barra Airport (Isle of Barra), all three operated by Loganair. The most direct flights from Scottish airports only take up to an hour or less, making the journey to the islands quick and easy.
Life already starts slowing down once you board one of the ferries to the Outer Hebrides. The Western Isles ferry services are run by Caledonian MacBrayne (CalMac) and connect the islands to the mainland and to each other.
If you are taking a car across, you MUST book the ferry well in advance. We strongly advise that you book your ferry immediately after you have booked your stay with us. We also recommend to book the ferry as far in advance as possible as they book up very quickly!

It is possible to travel by public transport using Western Isles buses. However, if you want to use the bus on the isles, make sur you check the timetables in advance as some services do not operate daily and certain are covered on a request only basis (meaning that the driver needs to be informed of the passengers intended destinations in advance). You can also check return journey pick up points and timetables with the bus driver on arrival.
For independent travellers, we have found that apps like Rome2Rio can be very useful to plan your route.
