Bed and Breakfast Description

The INN was originally built in the 1830's as an Inn for the farmers to stay in whilst waiting for the boats to the South Isles after a day at market.

Now a three star guest house, it has been refurbished to a high standard with spacious rooms, all of which are en-suite. Most of our rooms have views over Holm Bay with the Churchill Barriers and Italian Chapel in the background.

Our breakfast menu is varied with local produce used whenever possible. Special diets catered for on request.

You can enjoy your breakfast in our comfortable, spacious dining room whilst taking in the views over the bay.

Packed lunches can be supplied on request.

In the evening, you can relax in the lounge and watch Sky TV on the large plasma screen.

Local Attractions

The Commodore bar and restaurant is only a 10 minute walk away for a well recommended meal or relax with a drink at their bar.

The village of St Mary's

The village mainly spreads along the waterfront and was built for the herring fishing trade. There are a few walks nearby.

The Churchill Barriers

The barriers are famous for being built on orders from Winston Churchill by the Italian prisoners of war to protect the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow after the u-boat U47 got through and torpedoed the Royal Oak despite there being block ships sank in WW1.

Italian Chapel

The Italian Chapel is situated across the 1st Churchill Barrier on Lambs Holm. This chapel was built from 2 Nissan huts put together by the Italian prisoners of war. The chapel has been featured on televisions "Songs of praise", which shows the exquisite painting along the walls and at the alter.

The Fossil and heritage Museum
This museum is situated on the third Island called Burray, which is across two more barriers. The museum has some memento's of both world wars and a unique display of fossils and crystals.

Tomb of the Eagle

This chamber tomb dates from about 3000bc and is so named because of all the sea-eagle claws and talons found in it.
