About this property
Comfortable three bedroom bungalow located in Orkney Islands complete with emus.
Two adult size electric bikes are available free of charge to use while you stay with us saving on hire costs. LOCAL FACILITIES & AMENITIES IN BRIEF Despite its population (around 550) Sanday is a thriving island. Rich agricultural land produces top quality beef cattle. Although agriculture is the mainstay of the economy, tourism and increasingly distance working are growing features. The name Sanday reflects the miles of sandy bays and beaches. Wildlife is abundant and well-conserved. With a little knowledge and patience, you’ll see rare birds & flora and if you’re lucky, otters, orca and other wildlife in the clean, rich seas.
Sanday has a dynamic social and cultural scene. Visitors can enjoy our heritage centre, craft hub, artists workshops, archaeological sites, outdoor pursuits, beach walks, cycling, wildlife, photography and more. There are numerous organised events throughout the year such as fishing trips, agricultural show, lectures, dances/ceilidhs, lighthouse & wildlife tours.
Island facilities include a swimming pool, fitness centre, play park, general store & village shop a short walk from here , two hotels/pubs offering meals and takeaways. We have a post office, but no bank or police.

We were met on the ferry by chance by the lady that owned the house that we were staying in, she led us directly to the property and showed us round the house. The house was exactly as described, clean, tidy and very well equipped. The lady's husband worked on the ferry and on one occasion he phoned his wife and asked her to make sure we were going to arrive on time. The whole experience was perfect.
