Orkney's most famous sights are reachable in minutes from Rockworks Chalets No. 5. Kirkwall and its 10th-century cathedral lie a short drive away, while Neolithic monuments like the Stenness Standing Stones and Ring of Brodgar are equally accessible for sunrise or sunset visits. The Italian Chapel, built by Second World War prisoners of war, and the Churchill Barriers are visible from the property itself, which sits on the coast overlooking Scapa Flow.
This semi-detached chalet sleeps two in a ground-floor twin bedroom. The open-plan living space has a 32-inch smart TV and dining area; the kitchen is equipped for cooking. A shower room and heated towel rail complete the layout. Wi-Fi, electricity, bed linen and towels are included. There is parking for one car on site, and a shared laundry with coin-operated machines. No smoking inside.
The chalet suits couples or those needing a single accessible space. Arrival is after 15:30 and departure before 10:00.

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.
