Cantick Head Lighthouse Cottage

Stay in an 1856 lighthouse cottage on Orkney with a Kirami FinVision sauna and wood-fired hot tub on the clifftop, watching the Pentland Firth for orcas.

Cantick Head is a working lighthouse from 1856 on the southern tip of South Walls, by Hoy in Orkney, and the keeper's cottage beside it is a self-catering stay for four to five. The sauna and wood-fired hot tub stand outside beneath the tower, facing the Pentland Firth, and the operators' whole pitch is honest: this is a remote, historic haven where the entertainment is the sea. Guests watch seabirds, seals and passing orcas from the warmth, and in winter the sky sometimes does the rest.

Kirami FinVision sauna: wood-fired heat. FinVision cabin on the clifftop below the lighthouse, its glazed wall facing the Pentland Firth, with the wood-fired Kirami hot tub alongside.. Listed amenities: Parking, Fire pit.

Listing type: Vacation rental. Access: Hotel guests. Listed capacity: Cottage guests only. The property sleeps 5, 2 bedrooms. Book directly with the Mackinnons through the cottage's own site. The sauna and hot tub are part of the cottage, for the people staying in it. SaunaShare records this listing as editorially reviewed by SaunaShare.
