If you're seeking the tranquillity of Orkney, self catering Annexe is the perfect place to relax

The Annexe at Waaness provides comfortable self catering accommodation, adjoining the owners' residence, for those seeking tranquility on the island of Orkney. The lounge of the cottage enjoys fabulous views over the expanse of Scapa Flow and as far as the Churchill Barriers. The village shop, restaurant and pub are just a mile and a half away and you can buy fresh eggs from our neighbour, supplied by his free range hens.

Burray has a land area of just two and a quarter square miles, with a population of 363 persons (1991 census) and is connected by road to both mainland Orkney and South Ronaldsay by a series of Churchill Barriers, a reminder of recent history. Lying to the west of Burray is the island of Hunda, uninhabited except for sheep, goats and a resident colony of Grey Seals. Access to the island is across the "fifth barrier". To the north, across the third and second "barriers" and passed the remains of the "block ships" you will find the Italian Chapel. A must, for all whom visit Orkney.
