Puffin Quoy offers you the perfect holiday retreat in Orkney. Unwind, reconnect, and soak in the ever-changing seascape overlooking the Bay of Houton from the beautiful gardens, the shelter of the sitooterie or the panoramic living room.
Puffin Quoy is a beautifully appointed cottage 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 the deep sumptuous sofa beside a roaring wood-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, and surrounding gardens with shelter in the 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 offers luxury and comfort for serene escape in one of Orkney’s most beautiful coastal locations
