About this 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.
Just over the Border into Scotland, St Abbs is a picturesque fishing village with a delightful harbour and fishermen's cottages hugging the hillside, situated on a beautiful stretch of Berwickshire coastline. Diving can be enjoyed from the harbour, while the nearby St Abb's Head National Nature Reserve has a rich variety of wildlife and is a paradise for birdwatchers! An ideal location for walks - the Cheviots, Scottish Borders and the spectacular coastline all offer excellent walking. There is a safe, sandy beach 3 miles away in nearby Coldingham, which is very popular with surfers. The historic fortified Border town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, with shops, a museum and a castle, is nearby, and is well worth a visit. Holy Island, the Farne Islands, the attractive seaside villages of Craster, Eyemouth and Seahouses, and Edinburgh, capital city of Scotland, are all within touring distance.
