The property

Enjoying a superb rural location, Withi-Gill is a beautiful single-storey cottage situated close to Stromness on the Orkney Islands and offers a wonderful setting for a family holiday.

Outside, there are extensive gardens with a patio area, all set up with garden furniture, making it the ideal spot for soaking up the simply sublime views across to the Bay of Ireland.

Parking is taken care of with ample off-road parking and a garage, too.

Walking into the property and everything here has been thought of as well, with a welcoming sitting room offering a chilled out space for guests to gather to spend quality time together or just to watch some TV.

The well-appointed dining kitchen is the perfect spot for visitors to pull up a chair at the elegant dining table while the chef rustles up tasty food for the holiday party, maybe showcasing some of the delicious local produce on offer.

Bedtimes are catered for with two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, which offer a relaxing haven for visitors to rest their weary heads and in the morning, after a refreshing shower, it’s time to head out exploring the delights of the beautiful Orkney Islands.

There are beaches to discover (try Scapa) and more history than you can shake a stick at with places of interest including the Ring of Bradgar, Borwick Castle and Skara Brae Prehistoric Village as well as the towns of Stenness and Stromness which are well worth a visit.

For a stay in a rural idyll that has all the comforts of home, book your next break at Withi-Gill.
