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.
