Sleeping up to five in three bedrooms, the cottage offers a cosy living room, well-equipped kitchen, separate dining area and large enclosed garden. Relax, unwind and enjoy a true home-from-home in the heart of the Orkney countryside.

Inside, Riff Cottage is thoughtfully equipped to make your stay as comfortable and effortless as possible.

The light and airy sitting room is a welcoming place to relax, with modern comfortable seating and plenty of natural light. On cooler Orkney evenings, it becomes a warm and cosy retreat.

The sleeping accommodation is arranged across three comfortable bedrooms – two doubles and one single – offering a flexible layout for couples, families or friends travelling together.

The kitchen has everything you need for self-catering, including a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, hob and oven, with laundry facilities also provided. The family bathroom has a shower over the bath and ample storage.

Outside, you’ll have your own private parking, along with a dedicated barbecue and seating area for enjoying brighter Orkney days.

A welcome pack will be waiting for you on arrival, and we also provide a selection of Orkney books, maps, local guides and binoculars to help you make the most of your time in the islands.

Our location is ideal for exploring Orkney’s mainland and its Isles, with World Heritage archaeological sites, dramatic coastal walks, and breathtaking scenery. The Ring of Brodgar, Standing Stones of Stenness, Skara Brae and Maes Howe are all within a 20-minute drive.

Locally, we have created a peaceful farm walk for guests who enjoy nature, fresh air and a glimpse of rural life. The route leads you past our animals - including sheep, horses, goats, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs - offering a relaxed insight into the daily rhythm of the smallholding.

Alongside the walk, you’ll find our information centre — well stocked with leaflets, guides and inspiration for exploring Orkney. With beautiful scenery throughout, it’s an ideal way to unwind and connect with the landscape during your stay.
