Absolutely loved the experience that I had while on the island for four nights. We went as a group of 20 plus of us, We were all part of the belling community and amongst ringing quarters, and general ringing, we all hung out as a group for dinners, Pub, mirrors and drinks. Apart from that I covered a good amount of the island by foot, including doing some hikes up to the north light along as the East coast and I managed to do the West coast at sunset. On top of this, the helicopter ride was something new and something enjoyable. Photos that are attached to this are only for my phone but I will definitely be posting albums of photos to my social media accounts for a while to come as this trip is something that brings me joy when I look back on it! I would strongly recommend visiting here if you're up for a complete disconnect and you like your outdoors. I'm sure at some point I'll be going back!

Was only there for two hours, but loved it, would love to visit for longer. Visited by Waverley paddle steamer. Gorgeous hot day, quite a walk to the top.

Went for a day trip, it’s a really amazing and very peaceful island. Easily we were able to see the deer, sheep, horses and puffins. Just bear in mind it’s a 2 hr journey there and again back, and you only get 4 hours (if the boat is on time) on the island, so it did for us feel very rushed once we got there which was not long enough and put a bit of a dampener on the experience. The walk up from the boat is extremely steep as well so not for the faint hearted!

An amazing place. Some beautiful walks, not very accessible for some people as pathways can be narrow and steep. Great for birds and marine life. Friendly staff at Inn who will always help you out. Definitely coming back.
