Puffin Quoy offers you the perfect holiday retreat in Orkney. Overlooking the Bay of Houton, you can unwind, reconnect, and soak in the ever-changing seascape; whether from the garden, the comfort of the lounge, or the indulgent warmth of the Finnish hot tub.

Puffin Quoy is a beautifully appointed private annex offering a truly peaceful coastal escape tucked away on the shores of Scapa Flow. 

Designed exclusively for two, Puffin Quoy provides spacious, fully equipped self-catering accommodation. On bright days, watch local fishing boats drift across the bay and enjoy the Orkney sunshine; when 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 the outdoors, the surrounding area offers excellent opportunities 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 Finnish Wood Fired Hot Tub provide spaces for relaxation without having to venture far.

Recognised as a finalist in the Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards and praised by The Sunday Times Travel Club as one of Orkney’s finest places to stay, Puffin Quoy combines comfort, style, and an unforgettable setting. 

For couples seeking a serene escape in one of Orkney’s most beautiful coastal locations, Puffin Quoy offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and natural beauty.
