Monthly Rentals in Rousay

We had a lovely time at David’s place! We felt right at home and the place was really well done. They’ve made some very thoughtful choices when putting this together, ie the way the room is set up and the amenities available. Everything was very comfortable and we slept well. Would stay again next time we are in Orkney!

I stayed here for a month while working remotely and exploring the islands. This place was perfect for my needs. John is a friendly and responsive host.

Lovely cottage in the perfect location for us, with gorgeous views. The cottage is really nicely decorated and fitted out, and has all the things we needed and wanted. Hosts were really friendly too. Great place to say to see Rousay and get back and forth to Mainland.

The Ruah is truly wonderful. It is a historic tiny cottage that directly faces the sea. We saw seals swimming in front of the house. It really is magical. We struggled a bit with the hot water boiler but if you follow the instructions (switch on the boiler 30 min before you need hot water), you'll be fine. The bed is very comfy and you will wake up with a sea view. The cottage itself could do with some modernisation (an old radio for music, the two chairs in the lounge could be replaced.. ) and not everything was superclean but it is very cosy & the whole experience makes up for everything. I would still recommend going. Eday is truly beautiful and remote and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
