From the manager: Thank you. Our systems and use of technology allow guests to arrive at the time of their choosing. In addition staff are on site 7 days a week for cleaning and assisting with enquiries. We are on the shore of Kirkwall Bay and take the weather with the views across the water.

Liked: What a view over the harbour and big cruise ships on the other side of the bay. Amazing, High spec toilet and shower block with washing machine and tumble drier. Good sized pitches and a nice small site so never feels too busy. Ideal 10 min bike ride to Kirkwall that has everything you need. A must book on Orkney.
Disliked: Only the button press showers. Takes getting used to😂
