**NEW FOR 2012**
Two traditional Orkney cottages which have been totally renovated, with all modern comforts. Great location and stunning views.
The 12 acre croft of “Instabillie” is situated one mile from the Bay of Skaill and the world famous Neolithic village of Skara Brae, with fantastic views over the Bay and West Mainland of Orkney.
“Upper Instabillie” sleeps 6 in 3 bedrooms, has a kitchen, bathroom, shower room and living room (this room was the original But ‘n’Ben, and has been renovated using the original flagstones and furnished in keeping with the house). There is under-floor heating throughout, as well as a wood burning/multi fuel fire in the living room. There is a separate building containing a washing machine, deep-freeze, sinks, a drying room, and there is ample space for storing any outdoor equipment - bicycles, fishing rods, surf boards etc. There is a large garden, loads of outdoor space and plenty of parking. We have made a purpose built dog kennel at “Upper Instabillie” and are happy for pet owners to take their dog(s) on holiday with them, but request that they do not take them in the house.
The cottages have a good range of kitchen equipment and appliances, also free Wi-Fi.
“Instabillie” sleeps 5 in 3 bedrooms, has an open plan kitchen/living room, small conservatory, bathroom and shower-room. Under-floor heating throughout and a wood burning stove in the living area. “Instabillie” has its own separate building with washing machine, sink, and deep-freeze, and plenty of space for outdoor equipment to be stored. There is an enclosed garden and lots of parking space. Sorry, we do not accept dogs at “Instabillie”.
Both properties are ideal for families, and perfect for the outdoor enthusiast. As the cottages are only a short distance between, this makes them great for family groups of up to 11 to get together for holidays but at the same time retain their own individual space.
