Information on accommodation available on this holiday.

Orkney, Westray and its neighbouring Island of Papa Westray provide a truly wonderful, relaxing and very interesting combination.

Westray should be an essential part of your Orkney adventure - enjoy its unique flavour - an easy add-on to your Orkney Holiday for as many nights as you wish.

You can travel to Westray any day, catching a morning or afternoon ferry from Kirkwall. The voyage out along the old Viking sea route takes just 85 minutes. Westray is sprinkled with wonderfully atmospheric locations and breathtaking cliff scenery.

We think of Cleaton House, a family run hotel with six bedrooms, as one of Scotsell's 'hidden gems' - comments from previous guests are full of praise - do stay a few days.

Noup Head RSPB Reserve is second only to St. Kilda in terms of number of breeding seabirds, especially between April and July. Seals are plentiful around Westray. Local crafts include knitwear, jewellery, painting and wood turning. Hand made Orkney strae-backed chairs are a Westray speciality. The Heritage Centre displays local history.

You'll be sad to leave when it's time to sail back to Kirkwall, but the good news is you're still in Orkney! Stay a while longer or catch the afternoon ferry from Stromness to Scrabster.
