Rural hideaway bothy for two, with seaview, woodburner, wifi and big telly. Central Mainland location, ideal for a week of angling, archaeology, birdwatching (or just sitting back and enjoying the tranquillity).

Cuween Cottage is a 19th-century farm-worker's dwelling, which sits below Cuween Hill chambered cairn, looking out across the islands in the Bay of Firth (photo above).

- There are many holiday properties in Orkney which have been built and finished to modern standards: this is not one of them. The cottage has been de-modernised, with all internal walls removed and fireplaces re-opened.
- At the seaward end is the wood-burning stove and comfy sofa; at the other is the double bed.
- The building tells its own story, and is once more a bothy in the traditional sense (but with hot water, central heating and the full array of 21st century facilities and gadgets...).
- The cottage has been extended, and this addition contains the kitchen, with Rayburn and the usual white-goods, and a newly-refurbished bathroom with shower and a deep tub.
- Dogs are very welcome, and will enjoy a sniff round the mature garden or a walk on the open heather behind the cottage.

Location - Cuween Hill tomb is one of the best examples of its kind in Britain, and the view from the top of the hill is superb (it is also a good area for harrier spotting).
- To the village of Finstown is a short walk, and there is a bus service.
- By car, the legendary trout lochs are 15 minutes away, and you are at the centre of the Orkney Mainland, equidistant from Kirkwall and Stromness.
