HI JUDY: I'm a Canadian, and I found a quiet, traditional Orcdadian B and B on the water near Finstown. It is located in an area where you can't see other houses nearby, and it overlooks Grimbister the Isle from the north side of the bay, which affords a southern exposure for the mornings which is great. The owners are just super people, and the house is the classic old stone home with a slate roof, and two or three little stone fireplaces which create a nice atmosphere for reading or chatting in the evening. The rooms are spotless, the personalities are robust, the breakfast was good, and the bonus was....are ya ready....a sauna! Your got it. The guarantee for a long deep sleep and a healthy rise in the morning. FinFistownstown is nicely poised to access Orkney, and Jane Glue's new studio there is a treat, as is the Grimbister fresh cheese. If this sparks an interest, shoot me a mail. Not about to broadcast my best kept secret for all eyes to see and all ears to see. haha. Stephen.
