This traditional stone built cottage is renovated to a very high standard offering a homely base for your island stay. Situated on the Shapinsay shoreline nestling in the quiet conservation village of Balfour. The front gardens here meet the shores of Elwick Bay which is a very popular meeting place for seals.

Island shop and post office, restaurants, heritage centre and ferry terminal are all within short walking distance.
Shapinsay is a beautiful, low-lying agricultural island ideal for walking or cycling.
Translucent skies over striking sea and landscapes provide plenty to whet the palette of the discerning artist.
Just relax with nature on the shore while bird/seal watching.

Ideally situated for visiting Kirkwall and the Mainland whilst experiencing island life.
Literally two minutes walk to the pier where the small friendly city of Kirkwall, with St Magnus Cathedral, is just a 25 minute ferry trip away.

For Air travel information either contact Flybe or ask your travel agent.
Your arrival airport is Kirkwall. From here you are just a few minutes from the Shapinsay ferry terminal. I would advise pre-booking your taxi or take the airport shuttle bus (departs every 30 mins) which takes you into Kirkwall dropping you near to the Shapinsay ferry by request.
