This is a busy location with lots of passing trade as from Uig passengers travel across the Minch to Lewis, Harris and the Uists and the service operates throughout the year providing a steady and lucrative trade. The tearoom was initiated to take advantage of its location and provide a much needed service which is used by car drivers, coach passengers, lorry drivers, foot passengers and also local holiday makers and guest from the 6 static caravans. The tea room seats 27 people, with additional outside seating and offers light snacks, home baking etc. This could be further developed by purchasers if so required. To the rear of the main house is a large flat fully enclosed area presently accommodating 6 residential caravans providing the opportunity to let for holiday purposes or on a long term letting basis. The house itself is spacious and dates from circa 1980.
