Our property is a traditional fisherman's cottage with seaviews in St. Mary's, Holm. Overlooking Scapa Flow, the Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel. We endeavour to make your holiday complete by providing everything you want in a home. The peace and tranquility you will have in this cottage will relax and ready you for the return to your busy lives. Take the opportunity to turn off your phone and laptops and have a few days without the hustle and bustle of modern life.
We are a married couple, with 3 grown up children and three grandsons. We have varied interests and hobbies including walking and swimming.
Glenduron is on the seafront overlooking Scapa Flow. St Mary's, Holm has a Post Office/Shop, Art Gallery. If you use the What Three Words for getting to places, the three words are 'screening.dinner.headlight' for getting to Glenduron
