Aurora - Self Catering, Kirkwall, Quiet Location with Luxury Hot Tub

A spacious modern home in a quiet spot on the edge of Kirkwall, with a private hot tub and one of the biggest gardens you'll find on a let here.

The house is a large white two-storey property with French doors opening onto a paved patio and a sweeping, immaculately mown lawn that runs down towards open Orkney countryside. It feels generous and private from the moment you pull up.

Step outside

The outdoor space is the real draw. A covered hot tub sits beside the patio, screened for privacy but open to the view, so you can soak with the fields and hills of Orkney in front of you. Beyond the patio there's a huge stretch of lawn enclosed by timber fencing, a rotary line and planted borders — plenty of room for children to run about or for sitting out on a long summer evening. Off-street parking is right there too.

The setting

You're on Upper Crantit Road, a calm residential edge of town that's still only a short drive or walk from the centre of Kirkwall. From the garden you look out over grazing fields and rolling ground towards the wider island — quiet, green and unmistakably Orkney, yet close to everything. It makes a comfortable base for exploring the rest of Orkney.

Perfect for

With a hot tub, a big enclosed garden, parking, WiFi, a full kitchen, a washer and a TV, it suits families or groups who want space to spread out and somewhere genuinely relaxing to come back to after a day on the islands.
