Bedrock Bed & Breakfast, situated in the parish of Harray, the heart of the West Mainland, is just off the main road from Birsay to Finstown and overlooks Harray Loch. It is conveniently close to both Kirkwall (11 miles) and Stromness (10 miles).
We are ideally situated for visiting the Neolithic sites of Maeshowe (3 miles), the Ness and Ring of Brodgar (5 miles) and Stones of Stenness and Barnhouse village (4 miles) all within a few minutes drive. Andrew Appleby the 'Harray Potter' has his studio and workshop a few hundred yards away and the award winning Orkney Brewery, which incidentally serves excellent food during the day, is a ten minute drive from us.
