Scottish Island Holidays: Orkney
Itinerary Ork-4: Orkney Fly-drive from £429 per person for 3 nights
Our new fly drive option is ideal for those keen to explore these fascinating and historically rich islands, but who prefer the ease of direct flights from the main cities and central belt of Scotland.
Your holiday begins as you fly from Glasgow or Edinburgh Airport on the 90 or so minute flight to Orkney. On arrival into Orkney you will pick up your car and drive to your centrally located hotel on the outskirts of Kirkwall.
Your Hotel
The new owners have put tremendous effort into transforming this hotel, located on the outskirts of Kirkwall. A genuine feel pervades the hotel, which is traditionally furnished, offering you the chance to find out just how comfortable Orkney chairs really are. Fast building a reputation as a destination for locals, the restaurant boasts menus packed with local produce: your chance to try lamb with its distinctive flavour due to the seaweed diet of North Ronaldsay sheep, or to sample local seafood including mouth-watering prawns, succulent salmon and delicious stir-fried squid. And you just must pop round to see the neighbours – the world famous Highland Park distillery is right next door.
From £429 per person , based on 2 people sharing, for 3 nights for holidays in March & April 2008 and from £459 per person for holidays May to August and £449 for September & October 2008.
Prices include return flights from Edinburgh or Glasgow to Orkney, and three days car hire of an economy sized manual car.
All our Orkney holidays include a map of the islands with recommendations on things to do, places to see and visit depending on your personal interests, and our expertise to help you get the most from your holiday.
All itineraries and room types are presented subject to availability at specific hotels.
