Couples and small families will find Rockworks Chalets No. 4 works well for a week or a few days away. The entire chalet is yours, with two bedrooms (one double, one with two singles), a shower room, and an open-plan living space that faces the water. Ground-floor layout means everything is accessible without stairs. The kitchen has what you need to cook properly—electric hob and oven, microwave, fridge-freezer. There's a Smart TV in the living area, and Wi-Fi throughout. Heating, electricity, bed linen and towels are all provided; a welcome pack is included too.
The chalet sits on the coastline of Scapa Flow, with views across the water. The Italian Chapel—built by prisoners of war during the Second World War—is visible from the property. You're positioned to explore easily: the Churchill Barriers (visible from the chalet itself), Kirkwall and St. Magnus Cathedral a short drive away, and the Neolithic monuments scattered across Orkney's landscape—Stenness Standing Stones and Ring of Brodgar among them. Fishing, both fly and sea, is within reach. On-site parking for one car, and there's a shared laundry room with coin-operated machines. No smoking inside the property.

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.
