Located on the bay of Firth’s water edge, you can watch the ebb and flow of the tide which comes right up to our sea wall. We are centrally located on the bus route between the two major towns Kirkwall and Stromness. A cafe that serves breakfast is located next to the propert about 100m away.
Neighbourhood is idyllic but still central with easy access to UNESCO world heritage sites. There is ample parking space, free of charge.
