The distance from the Sun to Neptune is 4,504,300,000 kms
Light travels 9,460,730,472,580,800 kms a year
So light would take just over four hours to get from the Sun to Neptune.
Most of us have taken a 4-hour road trip. So imagine driving solidly for over four years. That's how long you'd have to travel for (at the speed of light) to get to the next star (Proxima Centauri).

How far from Earth is Neptune in light-years?
It isn't even 1 light year. Its 243 light minutes.
How long would it take to travel from Neptune in light years?
The average distance from the Sun to Uranus is 2.88 billion km. The distance from the Earth to Uranus would vary depending upon if our planet is on the near side of the Sun from Uranus or the far side. If we take the average distance of the Sun to Uranus as a neutral point, and the speed of light is 300,000 km/sec --- (2.88 billion km) / (300,000 km/sec) = 9600 light sec, or about 160 light min, much, much less than a light year. In other words, traveling at the speed of light, it would only take about 2 1/2 hrs to get to Uranus. Light years are a term usually reserved for great distances, such as the distance between stars.
