Escape to Findlay's Cottage
Your Perfect Orkney Retreat
Discover the charm of a 19th Century Croft Cottage nestled in the heart of Orkney, Scotland. Experience nature's beauty and tranquility with breathtaking views of Scapa Flow and the surrounding area
A comfortably furnished stone built cottage on the north shore of Scapa Flow, with fine unspoilt views south over the flow and west to the hills of Hoy.
The cottage was converted in 1998 from traditional croft buildings to provide a unique environment for family holidays in one of the Orkney mainland’s most popular parishes.
The cottage is equidistant from Kirkwall and Stromness and is a mile from the south isles ferry terminal of Houton. With excellent walking country in the Orphir hills, and a short drive to Maeshowe, the Ring of Brodgar and the Standing Stones, the cottage provides a perfect base for exploring the mainland of Orkney and the south isles.
The cottage is capable of sleeping up to six people in two spacious double bedrooms and using the double pull-out sofa bed in the living room. All bed linen and towels are provided.
