Braehead Farm is situated on a hill overlooking Scapa Flow, the Hoy Hills, and the town of Stromness. It is perfectly located to watch the MV Hamnavoe arriving and departing from the Stromness Harbour. The surrounding area is also home to a variety of birds and other wildlife, and the seals can be seen basking in the sun from the dining area window. The accommodation is part of the farmhouse which was built in the 1900s, and has undergone much renovation since being built. It is a charming and well equipped dwelling.
