The Location.
St Margaret’s Hope is the quiet anchor of South Ronaldsay, a village defined by its historic streets and a rhythmic, coastal pace. As the third-largest settlement in the islands, “The Hope” offers a genuine community feel where you are steps away from a local seafood restaurant and bar, the post office, and essential grocery shops. It serves as a perfect gateway for those arriving via the Pentland Ferry, providing an immediate, restful landing point before you begin your journey across the Churchill Causeways.
Beyond the village harbour, the landscape opens up to the ancient wonders of the Mainland. Within a short, scenic drive, you can transition from the peaceful garden views of our properties to the prehistoric weight of the UNESCO Heart of Neolithic Orkney. Sites such as the Ring of Brodgar, Maeshowe, and the Standing Stones of Stenness are all within reach, making the village an ideal base for those who want to balance modern comfort with the exploration of 5,000 years of history.
