The Champain family welcome you to their holiday home in Orkney, which has been in their family for more than 30 years.

Modernised in 1994, without losing its original crofter charm, the cottage sits in a field less than 100 metres from the high water mark of the northern shoreline of Scapa Flow, with views of the southern isles to the south and east, and the Hoy Hills to the west. Seals can be seen and heard on and around the Lash shoreline below the cottage; and sea birds abound, especially in the breeding season.

An all-weather track connects the cottage area with the quiet country road off the A964 Kirkwall-Orphir-Stromness road. Both Kirkwall and Stromness have good shopping facilities with Kirkwall (8 miles) having Tesco, LIDL and Co-op, and Stromness (11 miles) also having the Co-op.

In Orphir village the “Noust” bar serves bar meals at week-ends (and through the week during high season) and also provides the local post office.
