About this property
Harbour Cottage - A Beautiful Two Bed Townhouse Overlooking Stromness Harbour
An old fisherman’s cottage built with the help of a few salvaged ships beams and masts, Harbour Cottage is one of Stromness’ original houses pre-dating any modern record keeping. Sitting on the harbour front and directly across from the Ferry Terminal and Travel Centre, it places you in the heart of the town known as The Venice of The North. With private parking directly outside, you are only a 5 minute drive from the heart of Neolithic Orkney and it’s globally renowned UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Step inside Harbour Cottage and you’ll find a tastefully refurbished and unique house, with a separate kitchen/dining room leading to a sitting room with adjacent w/c and shower room downstairs. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with one overlooking the harbour front.

About the host
Hosted by David
Hi I'm David and really look forward to helping you have the best possible stay in Orkney.
I was born and bred in Orkney and am very proud of its reputation as the best place to live in the UK. Orkney is a unique and magical group of islands…. a place where you can look forward to being spellbound by its history, invigorated by its landscapes, relaxed by its atmosphere and warmly welcomed by its people I'll do whatever I can to help you enjoy the best of what Orkney has to offer.
