Local Attractions and Activities

Orkney is a treasure trove of natural beauty, historical sites, and cultural experiences just waiting to be explored.
From ancient landmarks to stunning landscapes, there’s something for everyone to enjoy during your stay at Buxa Farm Chalets and Croft House.

With so much to see and do in Orkney, your only challenge will be deciding where to start. Let the adventure begin!

EV Charging at Buxa

More and more of our visitors have told us they would like to bring their electric car with them to Orkney but they suffer ‘range anxiety’ with fears they are going to run out of battery before they get to a charger. Even though Orkney leads the way in electric chargers per capita of population, our visitors have said they would like the ability to leave their EV on charge overnight at Buxa.

We have a two-point EV charger installed at Buxa for the convenience of our guests. It is untethered so you will need to bring your own charging cable. There is a charge for the use of the EV charger. We are hoping the convenience of on-site charging more than makes up for that.

Happy travels!

Local Hot Tub Hire

What better way to enjoy your holiday at Buxa than in a relaxing hot tub enjoying the views!
You can hire an Orkney Hot Tub for the week and have it delivered and returned to and from your chalet for only £250 for the week plus £60 for extra electricity/water. Contact us for more details!

Children’s Play Park

A children’s playpark adjacent to the croft house provides hours of play for young ones.
The croft house is situated on 20 acres of waterfront property that is under the Rural Stewardship scheme to preserve bird life. A dedicated walk with gates at top and bottom has been developed giving easy access to the shore without having to climb over barbed wire. Secure storage for bicycles and camping and fishing gear.

Fantastic cosy Croft house with lots of space for our family of four. Nice and warm with underfloor heating throughout. Everything has been thought of (hairdryer, clothes drying rack, washer, shared dryer complimentary shower gel and shampoos!).

Uninterrupted views of Hoy from the front of the house and loads of outdoor space to kick a ball about.

About 20 minutes from the Stromness ferry the Croft is remote enough to hear nothing but the odd passing boat and handful of geese. Very peaceful.
