The Slap Cottage and The Gateway Cabin - traditional Orkney croft stays with sea views.
The Slap Cottage and The Gateway Cabin sit on a working croft in Burray, a southern island of Orkney with sweeping views across Scapa Flow. The 19th century stone cottage sleeps 2 and offers character flagstone floors, open beams and underfloor heating, while the cabin sleeps up to 4 and is perfect for family breaks. Welcome pack on arrival.
Both properties come with fully equipped kitchens, cosy lounges, modern bathrooms and comfortable bedrooms. Guests enjoy WiFi, entertainment options and thoughtful extras for families, from cots and highchairs to toys and books. Well-behaved pets are welcome (welcome pack on arrival), making this a relaxed base for couples, families and dog owners.
Check in is from 4pm and check out 10am.
Depending on the season, you may spot lambs, ducklings and hens around the croft, and free-range eggs are often available. Getting here is easy too - simply follow
Google Maps directions for doorstep parking. Book direct for best availability.
Set in Ruemara, Burray, the cottage and cabin are linked to Orkney's Mainland by the Churchill Barriers - a spectacular drive past historic blockships from the world wars. The airport is just 20 minutes away and the Gills Bay ferry around 10 minutes, carrying you through Scapa Flow past islands and wartime relics.
Explore Orkney's famous scenery with sandy beaches, clear seas and dramatic headlands. Nearby highlights include Scapa Flow diving and golf at St Margaret's Hope, or simply enjoy a quiet stroll along the shore after a day's sightseeing.
