Cobblers Cottage
About this property
Cobblers Cottage is a handsome two-storey stone townhouse with a steeply pitched gable, a cheerful teal front door and a hanging basket between the upper windows. It sits right on the street in the heart of the village, with a flower-filled garden and a conservatory at the back — a characterful cottage for four with bags of traditional charm.
Inside
The kitchen is a warm, lived-in space with timber units, a metro-tiled splashback, an electric cooker and homely touches like the cow-print storage jar and recipe books on the shelves. A striped runner leads up the staircase to the bedrooms, and a little welcome folder with an Orkney guide and a cafetiere is set out ready for your arrival — the small kindnesses that make a place feel cared for.
Where you'll sleep
Two bedrooms sleep four. The bathrooms are a real strength here — three in total — including a fully tiled family bathroom with a bath, toilet and basin, so a group of four is never short of space morning or night.
Step outside
The back garden is a delight, especially in spring: a lawn edged with daffodils, bluebells and clusters of orange flowers, with a conservatory off the cottage where you can sit out of the wind and still feel the sun.
The setting
You're in the middle of St Margaret's Hope, a pretty village on South Ronaldsay with its waterfront, local shops and eateries on the doorstep. The Churchill Barriers and the route back to Mainland Orkney are an easy drive.
Perfect for
A family or two couples wanting a traditional village cottage — four beds across two rooms, three bathrooms, a garden, conservatory, wifi and a hot tub, right in the thick of South Ronaldsay life.
