The Orkney Islands

Our accommodation in Orkney is in a 4 star small hotel, close to Scapa Flow and, somewhat temptingly, next to the Highland Park distillery. Accommodation is in twin or double rooms with en-suite bathroom facilities.

Single Rooms

There is no supplement charged to solo travellers, however, you will be required to share a room with another person of the same sex. If you request a double room for single occupancy, a supplement of £510 is charged.

Due to the nature of the accommodations we use, single supplements are limited and are allocated on a first come first served basis.

Room Types

Single – A private room with one large bed. Available for an additional supplement. Limited availability; allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Double – A shared room with one large bed.

Twin – A shared room with two separate single beds.

The hotel’s restaurant is popular with locals and has a strong focus on local Orkney produce. Naturally, any special dietary requirements can be catered for and the restaurant is fully licensed offering a selection of Orkney malts and ales. Included dinners are two courses as standard.

On this trip, we generally eat dinner as a group however if you would like to make alternative arrangements you are free to do so. Your guide will have an evening off during this trip where they do not eat with the group. They will recommend options for dinner that evening and will help you make any necessary reservations.

Green Graded 1-3

Green graded walking holidays are suitable for active travellers who are reasonably fit and enjoy moderate hikes. We walk at a comfortable pace and you can expect to be out for 5-6 hours a day. The terrain will be mostly good paths and hill trails but these can still be muddy and rough in places. Some hikes may involve an ascent up to a max of approx 450 m/1500 ft. Distances will be typically 8-10 km/5-6 miles but there may be the odd slightly longer day. Daily hike details are available in the itinerary.

You will be met by your Wilderness Scotland Guide at the fixed seating area in the centre of Inverness Railway Station at 9:00am on Day 1 of your trip.
We aim to have you back at Inverness Station by 5:00pm on your last day.
