Welcome to Marston Cabins, your home away from home in Sanday.

Helen and Rob are happy to welcome you at Marston, in the heart of Sanday. Marston offers two dog-friendly self-catering log cabins, just steps away from the sea. Both cabins come with a private fenced-in garden, a cosy hot tub and on-site parking.

Black Rock is a small one-bedroom cabin, ideal for solo travellers or couples. In the private garden, you will find the hot tub, a barbecue and everything you need to relax after a day of exploring the island.

Otterswick is a comfy two-bedroom cabin, ideal for larger groups. Four-legged guests will make the most of the large private garden while you relax in the hot tub.

Marston is waiting for you!

We opened Black Rock in April 2021 and Otterswick in March 2024.

It is always a pleasure to welcome newcomers to Sanday. The largest of Orkney’s north isles, Sanday is a haven of peace and quiet, lined by vast sandy beaches and untamed nature.

Sanday is the perfect island for everybody, from cyclists to walkers, dog owners, history buffs, birdwatchers and nature lovers.

We look forward to meeting you at Marston!
