Set on the peaceful shores of Harray Loch, Waterha offers a relaxing lochside escape in the heart of Orkney’s West Mainland. Surrounded by open countryside and uninterrupted views across the water, this spacious detached villa is the perfect place to slow down, switch off and experience island life at its best.
Sleeping up to 8 guests across 4 comfortable bedrooms, Waterha is ideal for families, groups of friends, couples travelling together or anyone looking for a peaceful base while exploring Orkney. The house combines generous living space with all the comforts needed for an easy self-catering stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, spacious lounge, WiFi, TV, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, bath and shower facilities, along with all bed linen and towels provided.
Guests especially love the setting. Wake up to calm loch views, enjoy your morning coffee watching the birdlife, and spend evenings taking in Orkney’s famous sunsets from the comfort of the house. The surrounding area is rich with wildlife, with regular sightings of wading birds, birds of prey and the occasional otter along the shoreline.
During autumn and winter, the dark skies around Waterha make it a wonderful spot for stargazing and, if conditions are right, catching a glimpse of the northern lights dancing above the loch. Waterha is also perfectly located for exploring Orkney’s most famous attractions, including Heart of Neolithic Orkney, with ancient stone circles, historic sites and dramatic coastal scenery all within easy reach. The nearby village of Dounby offers local shops and everyday essentials, while the nearby Merkister Hotel is perfect for lochside dining and drinks.
Whether you’re visiting for history, wildlife, walking, photography or simply a quiet break away from it all, Waterha offers a memorable and comfortable stay in one of Orkney’s most beautiful settings.
