Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold

Straigona is a remarkable five-bedroom house with stunning views overlooking fields and Kirkwall Airport, Inganess Bay, and the North Isles in the distance. The area in front of the house often attracts short-eared owls and hen harriers hunting. The property is well-maintained and would be ideal for a large family. Mature and attractive grounds extending to approximately 1/2 acre with ample parking for guests.

For the past twelve years, Straigona has operated as the top-rated Bed and Breakfast in Orkney according to Tripadvisor. It is also recommended in Mark Rowe Bradt Guide and by Rick Steves in his Scotland Guide Books. The necessary STL License is in place, but it would need to be reapplied for by interested parties if looking to continue the business. The current owners are willing to assist new owners during a transition period to help them settle in and understand the business operations.

The accommodation comprises on the ground floor of a living room, kitchen/diner, dining room, utility room, bathroom and integral garage with four en-suite bedrooms and a further bedroom on the first floor.
