The Ruah - sleeps 2

The Ruah is a recently renovated single storey croft on a 150 acre farm. The farm has its own sandy beach and a recently discovered Neolithic site that is excavated each August.

The Ruah is available all year and is ideal for walking, bird watching, cloud spotting, star gazing, rock pooling, daydreaming - or just relaxing. There’s a walled yard to the front of the cottage with a picnic bench and uninterrupted views of the sea and neighbouring islands. If you're lucky, you might see grey seal pups come ashore in the autumn, and even the Northern Lights in winter.

The old farm buildings to the west of the cottage include the remains of an original Orcadian sailed windmill and a wooden threshing machine.

The Ruah has a lounge/kitchen, a bedroom and adjacent shower room. There are excellent modern facilities including a wood burning stove, multi fuel cooker, microwave and fridge. There’s a small TV in the lounge area and a CD player (with USB docking) in the bedroom. The shower room has a power shower and a washer/dryer.

Daily rates are available on request (minimum two nights).
