"The Rackwick Hostel is the perfect location for a remote and peaceful stay in the beautifully scenic Rackwick Valley in the north west of Hoy, much of which is owned by the RSPB. A large variety of birds live and breed here, and it is a great place to see puffins. Rackwick Hostel is close to Rackwick Bay, a sand and boulder strewn beach surrounded by 200m cliffs and heathery hills, and is the ideal starting point for the walking route to the Old Man of Hoy.

Popular with walkers and cyclists, the hostel offers accommodation for up to 8 people within two rooms. All bedding is provided and there is a small kitchen and eating area. With no TV or wifi, you can truly surrender to the beauty of the surrounding view and wildlife."
