The cottage is approximately one and a half hours from Lerwick and two and a half from Sumburgh Airport by car and ferry. The transport infrastructure in the Shetland Islands is excellent. http://visit.shetland.org/public-transport
There are three other general stores on Yell at Aywick, Cullivoe and next to the ferry terminal at Ulsta where you can also buy petrol.
There is a bus stop three minutes walk from the house from where you can catch buses to mainland Shetland.
