    Lovely hosts and fantastic wee bit for one or 2 people. very comfortable and with the basics to cook and store food. Lovely view of a field which is very relaxing and largely quite quiet. Fantastic jam and lovely pieces of woodwork from Colin.

    Everything was lovely. The Shepherd's Hut suited us because it was central to where we wanted to go. It had everything we needed. The home made jams were a nice surprise too.

A cosy Shepherd's Hut with combined kitchen/living/bedroom. Separate bathroom with shower. Lovely views over the fields and hills
We have lived in Finstown nearly all our lives. Colin is a Joiner and built this accommodation himself. As a guest at Morvin you will also receive a 10% discount on Colin's crafts including Orkney Chairs.
Finstown is a thriving village and central to many of the Neolithic sites and half way between Kirkwall and Stromness. There is also a local shop, and takeaway opportunities.
