Family-friendly self-catering lodge with Scapa Flow views in Orphir

Accommodation

Owlswood Lodge operates as a four-bedroom holiday home with two bathrooms in Orphir. The property provides a spacious living room and family rooms that accommodate groups of six adults. Guests sleep in separate rooms when required, as noted in a recent guest review, with the house containing all essentials for a week-long stay.

Outdoor Spaces

The lodge has a garden with a picnic area and outdoor furniture for guest use. Bicycle parking is available on-site for travellers exploring Orkney by bike. The hillside location makes Scapa Flow partially visible, and an adjacent copse of young trees contributes to local woodland regeneration.

Amenities

Free WiFi and a washing machine are provided for guest convenience. The fully equipped kitchen includes all necessary appliances for self-catering stays. Free on-site private parking is available, with no additional charges.

Accessibility

The property is wheelchair accessible with a lower bathroom sink and toilet grab rails. Facilities for disabled guests include step-free access throughout the main living areas. Smoke alarms and fire extinguishers are installed for safety.

Location

Kirkwall city centre is a 12-minute drive from the lodge, with the Orkney Museum located 7 km away. Maeshowe chambered cairn is 13 km from the property, accessible by car. Kirkwall Airport is 10 km distant, and the location requires a car for most outings due to fast traffic on the main road.
