We have a restored 1800 Orkney croft house available for holiday let at very reasonable prices. This is on a working croft on the southern Orkney island of Burray.
The Slap is a 1800 stone built cottage, that has flagstone floors and beams open to the roof. It's built on one level so suitable for disabled.
The Slap is set in 6 acres of working croft land overlooking Scapa Flow, Churchill Barriers and the island of Copinsay.
Fancy some time away on the idyllic islands of Orkney?
Depending on what time of year you come, there will be new born lambs, ducklings and ducks, and baby chicks, and plenty of free range eggs
Burray is connected by road over the spectacular Churchill Barriers to the main island of Orkney, making this one of the most beautiful drives you will take, past the historic block ships, sunk during the two world wars.
