Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. Park Cottage is 5 miles from Kirkwall. There is a regular bus service to Kirkwall, Stromness, St Margaret's Hope and all the towns in between these larger towns. The bus service is fabulous for exploring the island and for going into Kirkwall or other towns in the evening for an early meal. Park Cottage has three bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with twin beds and the third bedroom has a single bed. There is one bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is excellent free parking. Overlooking the Ayre Loch there are beautiful views. The loch has a circular walk complete with bird hides, remember to bring your wellies! We are located close to the Italian Chapel, Scapa Flow and the Churchill Barriers. It is ideal for those who are interested in fishing as well as birdwatching. The cottage is not dog friendly and sadly we are unable to welcome our four legged friends. It is a perfect place to use as your base for a wonderful holiday.
There is a key safe and the number for this will be sent closer to the date of arrival. Morag, tries to meet all guests but if she is unavailable on the day of arrival she might pop in at another time to check that all is ok. Directions for the cottage are sent to all guests. We look forward to welcoming folk and getting to know a little about them.
Quiet village settled inbetween Kirkwall and South Ronaldsay. Perfect for bird watchers and folk interested in fishing and walking. Cold water swimming is popular at certain beaches. Regular bus service, X1, to all main towns. Day tickets and weekly passes are available to buy from Stagecoach. Parking at the cottage. Regular bus service.
