The Old Granary And Puffin Quoy

Overview

The best that Orkney can offer!
Caroline and Kevin have made every effort to give their guests the opportunity to unwind and relax in tranquillity and comfort and take in the fabulous views.
Ideally located between Stromness and Kirkwall and a 15 minute drive from world heritage sites. Hoy ferry is within walking distance.
The cottages have delightful views over Scapa Flow towards the Hoy Hills and are a three minute walk from the beach where you can watch the seals and sea birds.
Ideal location for bird watching, walking , cycling, canoeing and sea fishing and a photographers paradise.
The Old Granary provides luxury accommodation for 6 people, and Puffin Quoy provides sleeping for two . A real treat for those needing a tranquil getaway.
Quintessentially Orcadian, this stunning converted barn is located at Houton Bay and captures the spirit of Orkney. Once an old working grain store and mill, the Old Granary Quoy and Puffin Quoy have been modernised to an exceptional standard yet still exudes charm and character, retaining original features such as the flagstone floors and adding a peat burning stove.

Unique in its location, the private grounds where the barn is situated offers an exclusive holiday experience. Organic vegetables can be picked from the garden and free range eggs can be collected daily from the hens. With just a moments walk to the shore a keen fisherman maybe even lucky enough to catch a trout or two. Whip up a feast in the fully equipped kitchen or on a mid summers evening enjoy the stunning sunsets whilst having a BBQ on the patio.

Full length windows maximise the views of the beautiful bay whilst original artwork and beautiful hanging tapestries add to the magic indoors. Quiet and serene the barn is situated in the West Mainland of Orkney and is an ideal base from which to explore these enchanting Islands. Complete with a whirlpool bath and mood lighting, this home is luxurious yet comfortable and makes for a truly unforgettable holiday.
