The door opens into the kitchen, where the old shop counters and pine-lined walls are a reminder of the house’s history. The adjacent dining area provides a relaxed setting for family meals and informal entertaining - Orkney offers many local specialities from fresh shellfish and premium Orkney Gold beef to traditional beremeal bannocks and oatcakes. Next door, the spacious sitting room has an open fire, and deep windows overlooking boats in the bay and views of the Scapa Flow beyond.

Outside there is a secluded paved yard, looking out over the sea, perfect for summer barbecues or a sheltered play area. |
