Things to do
Stromness
Set in the heart of Neolithic Orkney, Kierfiold Garden Cottages are the perfect place to go sightseeing. Only 10 minutes from the town of Stromness and where the Northlink Ferry comes in.
“Wonderful week loved the rugged coastline, especially Yesnaby, Bay of Skaill, Marwick Head and Brough of Birsay. Great walking areas! Brown trout biting at Loch Harray – what a bonus!”
Skara Brae and Skaill House
Just a mile away – a pleasant walk.

“I have seen seals and a pair of red-throated divers! Perfect spot, lovely cottage.”
Incredible walks
Skaill Beach is within walking distance and spectacular with the Atlantic waves rolling in. You can enjoy plenty of walks around the coast to Marwick Head and Brough Birsay directly from the door or a short drive away.
The Ring of Brodgar is less than a ten minute drive away and a short hop to the Standing Stones of Stenness and Maeshowe.
