This new timber clad 4 Star Holiday House, sleeping up to 6- in 3 Bedrooms, was built during
2005. Situated approx 200 metres from the sea - or to be more precise - the huge Sheltered
Anchorage of Scapa Flow -it enjoys an uninterrupted view over Houton Bay & Scapa Flow towards
the SouthEast and South Ronaldsay.
Houton is on the SW side of the Orkney Mainland, close to Orphir,
and is about 15 mins drive
from Kirkwall, and 10 mins drive from Stromness.
It is ideally situated for exploring most of
Orkney's Mainland tourist
attractions, and there is also a Licensed Pub 2 miles from the house
which also offers evening meals. There are no local shops - but the
Co-Operative Supermarket in
Stromness is open until 10pm daily.
Featuring a very generously sized Open-Plan Living Room/Modern Kitchen Cullyaquoy is tastefully
furnished and equipped to an unusually high standard, and should undoubtedly appeal to the more
Discerning Visitor! The Master Bedroom has an En-Suite Shower, Sink & Toilet. Other features
include the fitting of a Solar Panel to heat the Hot Water Tank, and a Heat Recovery System -
which filters incoming fresh air, thereby reducing pollen etc - and also warms it by recovering
heat from the vented air. Also the property has been planned from the start to be Unassisted
Wheel Chair User friendly. Built to a Norwegian Design & Specification the whole house is
extremely well insulated.
This 4 Star property is included in the VisitOrkney tourist brochure & Website.
My weekly rates are from £275 to £550 per week.

I regret that I do not do not accept pets.Note: The name "Cullya-Quoy" derives from 2 old Orcadian dialect words "Cullya" meaning a Seagull , and "Quoy" - a field. The pronunciation is evenly stressed as in "Kull - Yuh - Kwai" (The last as in the Classic
Film "The Bridge On The River Kwai"!
