Orquil Farm Tours is a certified organic working farm just a mile outside Kirkwall, Orkney – beef cattle, pedigree sheep and our Highland coos, run by Kevin and Sarah. We take a maximum of 2 motorhomes a night, so you've got the place to yourselves – no site, no neighbours, just the farm and the coos. Park up in our field with views right across Scapa Flow on one side and over Kirkwall on the other. Fresh water on hand. During your stay you can join one of our tours – Orkney's Highland coo experience – where you meet, feed and brush our Highland coos up close and see round a real working Orkney farm, with the option of farmhouse tea in our own dining room. Kirkwall's shops, pubs, ferries and the Neolithic sites are all on your doorstep. Self-contained vans welcome, dogs allowed. As we're a working farm rather than a campsite, we ask that anyone staying overnight books onto one of our tours during their visit – either the Highland coo tour or the tour with farmhouse tea. That's what makes the stop possible, and it's the best bit anyway. Please phone ahead so we know you're coming and can make sure there's space.
