What is there to see and do?

The most common complaint we get from visitors is that there just isn’t enough time to see everything in Orkney! We suggest before you visit that you log on to the local tourist information site: www.visitorkney.com that is just chock full of information on what to see and do in Orkney. Alternatively you can phone the VisitOrkney tourist information centre in Orkney, phone: 01856 872856, for a full colour brochure for information on things to see and do, travel, where to stay, where to dine, and where to buy things made in Orkney.

Buxa Farm Croft House is in a quiet spot with a countryside/beach feel, yet it is only a short drive from the two major towns of Stromness and Kirkwall and the major tourism attractions of Skara Brae and Maes Howe-a big bonus for those looking for the best of both worlds during their holiday stay.
