Coorie Voe

Coorie Voe is a one-bedroom apartment for two that leans happily into a warm retro look — and pulls it off. Off-street parking is on hand, and being pet-friendly, it's one of the few boltholes where the dog gets to come too. It's a snug, characterful spot for a couple looking for somewhere a little different.

Inside

The sitting room is all soft lamplight and cosy textures: a burnt-orange sofa piled with mustard and patterned cushions, a sheepskin-style rug, a sculptural glass-topped coffee table and a striking elephant print on a feature wall. A tall window with floor-length curtains lets the evening light in, and the layout keeps the kitchen close so you can cook and chat without missing a thing.

Where you'll sleep

The double bedroom is full of 1970s charm — vintage floral bedding, a teak headboard, a mirrored wardrobe and warm bedside lamps, with framed sunburst prints adding to the mood. A hairdryer is provided. The bathroom is a smart contrast: a vessel basin on a timber vanity, a heated towel rail, a cast-style 'Victoria' loo-roll holder and a cheerful print on the wall.

The setting

You're within easy reach of Stromness, with its old harbour, narrow paved main street, galleries and the ferry across to the Scottish mainland. The west Mainland's beaches and archaeology are a short drive away.

Perfect for

A couple — and their dog — wanting a stylish, characterful base for two, with a hot tub, wifi, parking and Stromness close by.
