3 star hostel accommodation on Orkney
March 17th 2020
Set in on the breathtaking northern isle Birsay Outdoor Centre is the perfect place to relax. Take in the unspoiled beauty of this wonderful location
In what manner you choose to relax is up to you. The Hostel accommodates for every type of traveler, a drying room for the adventurers and a cosy lounge for bookworms. A well equipped self catering kitchen means you can still cook your favourite meals. But of course the most important thing when on Orkney is exploring, the scenery alone being worth the trip. But for a bit more intrigue perhaps the ancient neolithic sites take your fancy, some dating back to over 5500 years ago. However as always what you get up to is up to you Birsay Outdoor Centre will just help you do it.
