Rockworks Chalets No. 3 is a ground-floor chalet on Orkney's main island, positioned on the coastline overlooking Scapa Flow. Step inside and the layout unfolds simply: a hallway leads into a bright, open-plan living space with a double bedroom and shower room branching off. The living area doubles as dining space, with a Smart TV for quieter evenings. The kitchen has an electric hob and oven, microwave and full-size fridge, making it straightforward to cook. Bed linen, towels, wi-fi and heating are all included; there is private parking for one car on site.
The chalet sits within reach of Orkney's major historical sites. The Italian Chapel, built by Second World War prisoners of war, is visible from the property across the water. The Churchill Barriers, defensive structures from the same period, are equally close. Kirkwall, home to the 10th-century St. Magnus Cathedral, is a short drive, and the Neolithic monuments of Stenness Standing Stones and the Ring of Brodgar are scattered across the nearby landscape. A shared laundry room with coin-operated machines serves all properties on the site. The chalet does not permit smoking.

What guests say
Absolutely beautiful place. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Wish we were staying longer. Beautiful view. We only arrived late last night, so haven't done much exploring. We will certainly come back. We're staying in number 4 chalet.

Given how costs have soared since COVID, Rick works have managed to keep their prices reasonable, unlike many places that have simply doubled their prices "because they can". The chalet we had is only a 1 room unit with separate shower room and toilet. There are no cooking facilities, only a toaster and very small fridge. The bed was comfortable and sheets and linen (towels provided) were immaculate. It's a lovely self contained unit set up on the main road between St Margaret's Hope and Kirkwall. Regular bus service runs right outside the place and it's relatively cheap for a return bus which runs late into the night. We've used the place 3 times now, as have my biking friends. Great place, highly recommended.

Beautiful refurbished little house - lovely kitchen/living area with TV and ample space and tools to cook and eat with guests if you wanted. Bedrooms are thoughtfully supplied with comfy beds, ample storage and handy bedside lamps. Bathroom was smart and cosy thanks to the huge heated towel rail. Every question you could have about the facilities is answered either in the welcome pack or the discrete labels just where you need them. The lovely decor inside can't hope to compare to the incredible view outside though - ever-changing sea and sky. Absolutely outstanding- thank you, Rockworks.
