Designed exclusively for two, Puffin Quoy provides spacious, fully equipped self-catering accommodation with amazing sea views and beautifully landscaped gardens. 

The cottage is home to a private collection of modern & contemporary art works from some of Britains most important artists, many of whom feature in the collection at The Pier Arts Centre in Stromness, 

Located in Houton overlooking Scapa Flow, on bright days, watch local fishing boats drift across the bay and enjoy the Orkney sunshine; if the weather turns, settle into deep, sumptuous sofas beside a roaring log-burning stove and immerse yourself in a good book—or explore the fascinating wartime history that unfolded just beyond your window during the World Wars.

Perfectly suited to independent travellers  who love art, culture and the outdoors, from Puffin Quoy you can follow the Creative Orkney trail, and explore Orkney's dramatic landscapes. The surrounding area is perfect for birdwatching, photography, fishing, cycling, boating, and scenic coastal walks. Inside, modern comforts await, including Smart TV, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth speakers whilst  the private patio, surrounding gardens  and Sitooterie provide spaces for relaxation without having to venture far.

Praised by The Sunday Times Travel Club as one of Orkney’s finest places to stay and recognised as a finalist in the Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards, Puffin Quoy is the perfect location for couples visiting Orkney.
