5 Whitehouse Lane is a rare gem, completely unique and quirky, yet unmistakably Orcadian in character, this charming property captures the very heart of Stromness.
Tucked away on a quiet lane, it offers privacy while being just a moment’s walk away from the many restaurants and cafes, pubs, museums, galleries and harbour – the best of the town right on your doorstep.
Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge space is warm and inviting, with a cosy focal fire adding to the atmospheric charm of this fisherman’s cottage. Upstairs you’ll find two comfortable double bedrooms and a newly fitted shower room, making it ideal for couples or solo travellers looking for a peaceful escape in a central location.
Other things to note:
Parking is located close by, although the street is narrow.
*To help maintain the comfort of all guests, pets are not permitted, and the property is strictly non-smoking with no EV charging available.*

Hi
I notice that 5 Whitehouse Lane has been booked for 5 days for the Folk Festival ending on 25 May 2026. I am interested in booking for 3 nights from 27 May 2026. When I try to book, it only offers me 7 days minimum even though it is clear that shorter bookings have been made. Would it be possible to book 3 nights from 27 May 26 and if so, what would the cost be please?
Many thanks,
Malcolm
Good morning Malcolm,
My sincere apologies for the delay in replying. We’ve recently taken over the business and have just come across your enquiry.
I wanted to let you know that we offer a minimum stay of 5 nights from April to September, with the minimum reduced to 3 nights during the out-of-season period from October to March.
If you are still looking for accommodation, please do let me know as we would be delighted to assist with a 5-night stay and would love to welcome you as our guest.
Kind regards,
Jenna.

Good evening Steve,
Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately our Stromness properties are already booked for the Folk Festival in May but we do have availability in some of our other properties at different locations – Harray, possibly Firth (just outside Finstown), Kirkwall and Burray. Please let me know if an alternative location is a possibility for you and of interest as we’d love to accommodate and welcome you as our guests.
Many thanks,
Jenna.

I should have said, 5 Whitehouse Lane is available from 25th May onwards and Algarth, 26th May onwards. Please let me know if any of these dates fit in with your plans Steve, and I’d happily get you booked in.
Many thanks,
Jenna.
