Swanbister Farm Holiday Accommodation

“The Bothy”

The Bichan family has been welcoming visitors to Swanbister for over twenty years, many becoming old friends, returning year after year!

Swanbister is a busy, family run farm of approximately 1800 acres, producing prime Orkney cattle and sheep.

Originally a farm servant’s cottage, the Bothy was re-roofed in the seventies and for several years housed a pottery workshop and studio. In the mid eighties the building was  completely renovated and has been in use as a holiday cottage since.

The cottage stands in its own grounds with ample parking and a large, enclosed grass play area making it particularly popular with families. A quiet, sandy beach, animals to admire, tractors to scrutinize, a private mill dam to fish and playmates and babysitters always available, makes Swanbister a haven for children.

The peaceful tranquillity, deserted beaches, spectacular scenery, the wild life, the archaeology are only a few of the reasons so many of our guests tell us that a week is simply not long enough. So take your time, relax, explore the islands and let Orkney work its magic on you!

We look forward to helping you plan your visit and to making your stay a memorable one.
