Located in Kirkwall, Orkney, a picturesque region of Scotland, this charming property is ideal for couples seeking a tranquil retreat. Orkney, a collection of islands off the northeastern coast of mainland Scotland, boasts stunning natural landscapes characterized by rugged coastlines, striking stone formations, and pristine white sandy beaches kissed by turquoise waters. Visitors can indulge in a variety of outdoor activities, including walking, cycling, fishing, and water sports, while also having the chance to encounter local wildlife such as seals, dolphins, and even orcas. The rich cultural heritage of the area, with its numerous archaeological sites, ancient tombs, and standing stones, adds to the allure, inspiring many artists, musicians, and writers throughout history.
Upon entering the property, guests are welcomed into a cozy hallway that features a convenient storage cupboard for outdoor gear, along with a bathroom equipped with a shower over the bath and a WC.

The layout encourages relaxation and togetherness, making it an ideal setting for a romantic getaway.
The well-appointed kitchen is designed for culinary enthusiasts, featuring modern appliances such as an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, washing machine, and tumble dryer. A door from the kitchen leads to a side patio, enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience. At the end of the day, guests can retreat to the first-floor bedroom, which includes a super king-size zip and link bed that can be configured as twins upon request, along with a TV and en suite WC for added convenience.
Outside, the property offers a lovely paved patio with seating, perfect for enjoying morning coffee or evening relaxation. However, guests should note that the access lane to the property is narrow with a tight turning, limiting parking to one small car.
