Why stay here ...
This quiet Adults Only CL, situated less than 10 minutes from the Ferry Terminal at St Margaret’s Hope, is run by Club members Cindy De Battista and her husband Alan. No part of the main island (called Mainland) is very far away, and the site makes an excellent base for visiting all the attractions of Mainland Orkney with the capital city Kirkwall, and the magnificent St Magnus Cathedral, just 30 minutes away across the Churchill Barriers.
The site occupies an elevated position, with breath taking 180-degree sea views of the east coast of South Ronaldsay and the connected South Isles, looking out to the Island of Copinsay. Orkney has something to offer in all seasons and with our hard standings, we can accommodate visitors at all times of the year, but online bookings are only available April to September. Out with these months, contact us through the website contact form as we may be able to accommodate you.
While we understand that some visitors to Orkney may want to move around when they are here, many of our guests take advantage of our longer stay discounts, (3-4 nights 15%, 5-6 nights 20%, over 7 nights 25%.) and find that they can easily visit all the attractions on Mainland Orkney from a base at Pool Farmhouse Orkney CL.
We operate a “Bookings Only” policy, with all bookings made through our website, as we may not be available for casual arrivals. The site remains closed to any casual arrivals to reduce disturbance to our guests and ensure that we are aware of any pending arrivals.
Please use the “Website Button” to check availability, see Terms and Conditions and make a booking. Also, visit our Facebook page for latest news and offers.

Perfect spot
We spent a wonderful week at Pool Farmhouse CL whilst exploring the southern end of the Orkney Islands. The site is well maintained and superb value for money. We will definitely return.

Great CL Site
This CL is lovely, simplistic, and a little quirky all in one. Pitches are level and water supply and waste is in a small area with the recycling bins. The CDP is in the tastefully decorated toilet shed which really does work for both functions. The welcome from Alan was first... Show more
