Our places in Orkney

The choice across the island is small, with about ten places to compare, so it pays to look at all of them rather than filter early. Most sleep 2 to 4 people, and a few go up to 6 or 8 for groups. Nights usually cost noticeably more than in many mainland areas, and the gap between the cheapest and the typical night is not large. Sea and lake views appear on a couple of places, but they are not the norm. Ratings are consistently high, so the main decision is size, hot tub and pet rules.

Orkney suits people who want a quiet island break with a good deal of space around them. The stays here are mostly small to medium, with an average capacity of about 4, so couples and families of four are the natural fit. Larger groups have fewer options, and the biggest place sleeps 8.

Prices sit at the dearer end for a lodge break, and the cheapest night found is still well above what many mainland parks ask. Six in ten places have a hot tub, which is a high share, and guest ratings are very strong at 9.7 out of 10. Dog owners have less choice, as about 30% accept pets. A log burner is rare, found in only one place in ten, so if a fire matters to you, check before you book. Weeks cost the same whether in winter or outside it, so the month you pick matters less than the size of the place.

Features

Hot tubs and gardens are the most common features, each found in six places out of ten. Hot tub places usually cost a little less than the typical garden place, which suggests a tub does not push the price up much here. A log burner, a lake view and a sea view each appear only once, so they are worth searching for specifically. High chairs are listed at two places, which helps if you are travelling with a baby. The places with the rarer extras tend to be the larger and dearer ones.

By number of guests

Half of the places sleep 3 to 4 people, and these usually have 2 bedrooms. Couples have a few smaller options, while groups of 6 or 8 pay clearly more per night but share it across more people.

Prices month by month

Prices rise slowly from November through to April. November is the cheapest of the months covered, with December and January close behind. February and March are a little dearer, and April is the most expensive, with a clear step up from March. Availability is good in every month, with plenty of dates open in November and January. If you want a winter break and a lower nightly rate, late autumn and early winter are the better choice. Spring costs more.

Around Orkney

If Orkney has no date that suits you, the nearby mainland areas offer more choice. John O Groats and Wick each have a bigger selection than the island itself, and Wick has the lowest starting price of the areas nearby. Thurso is a smaller option with a fairly low starting price. Kirkwall, Toab and Rendall are on Orkney and have one place each, so they add little choice. Ferry crossings and travel time are worth checking before you compare costs.

FAQs

Are lodges in Orkney cheaper in winter?

Only slightly. Nightly prices are lowest in November and rise gradually towards April. A week costs the same in winter as outside it, so the saving comes mainly from choosing a shorter stay in late autumn.

Do many Orkney lodges have a log burner?

No, only about one place in ten has a log burner or fireplace. That one is also among the largest and dearest. If you want a fire, check the listing before booking.

What size of lodge is best value in Orkney?

Places sleeping 3 to 4 are usually the best value per person. They typically have 2 bedrooms and cost less per night than the largest places. Shared between four people, the cost per head is lower than for couples.

Is it easy to find a dog friendly lodge in Orkney?

It takes a little more searching. About 30% of places accept pets, and some only on request. Ask the host about any limits on dog numbers or sleeping areas before you confirm.
