Viking's View BnB

Viking's View is a modern detached house set on a green hillside in the Orkney countryside, with its own drive and garage and uninterrupted views across the surrounding farmland and out to the sea beyond. It's a peaceful spot — the kind of place where the rooms upstairs look out over a beach and the only company is the sheep in the next field. The bedroom sleeps two.

Rooms & comfort

The guest room is a comfortable double set into the upper floor, with a sloping ceiling, tartan curtains and a window that frames a real treat: the sea and a sandy beach right there as you wake. Daffodils on the sill and a little Viking soft toy keeping watch add a bit of warmth and humour. A tea and coffee tray is provided with a kettle, mugs and a selection of teas, so you can have a brew in the room. The bathroom is a good size, with a bath and shower over it, a basin, WC and a Velux window letting in plenty of daylight, plus fresh towels set out.

The location

This is rural Orkney at its best — open green country, big skies and the sea close at hand. You're well placed to reach the islands' famous Neolithic sites, coastal walks and beaches, while still being an easy drive from the shops and services of the main towns. The setting is quiet and the views are the draw.

Good to know

There's a cooked or continental breakfast to set you up, free parking on the drive, Wi-Fi, a TV and a garden to enjoy. The sea view is the standout — make sure you take it in with a morning cuppa.

Perfect for

A couple after a calm, scenic country B&B with a proper sea outlook — ideal for walkers, beach lovers and anyone wanting to slow down and enjoy the Orkney landscape.
