Fancy going organic on Orkney? Stroll over to South Ronaldsay for a stay at Wheems Organic Farm Bothy and Campsite, a small site five minutes’ drive from St Margaret's Hope. As befits an organic farm, this is a place that’s also big on eco-friendly travel and upcycling – there’s a bike shed for passing cyclists and meals can be prepped in the covered campers’ kitchen (which has been kitted out with two double hobs, a small oven, a microwave, a large fridge, fridge-freezer and all sorts of crockery, pans and utensils) and eaten in the nearby dining area. Naturally, you’ll be wanting to base your meals round that fab organic produce: fresh things including eggs and veg are on sale in the honesty shop along with various dry goods, and guests are encouraged to pick herbs and salad leaves from the garden (or to splash a bit of water over the plants if they’re looking a touch thirsty). You’re never far from the sea on Orkney, and at Wheems the sea views are something of a giveaway that it’s a trifling 10-minute trot to get to the sandy beach at Newark Bay. There are also some great coast walks to be had and some top twitching locally or on boat trips from Kirkwall, half an hour away. If you fancy a pint or need to pick up something not stocked in the shop it’s a 40-minute stroll to St Margaret's Hope.

Likte Wheems Organic Farm is an amazing place to stay - we had a very warm welcome and felt right at home from the very first minute on. The campsite is super cute and does not only offer pods and camping pitches but also a shared kitchen and a cozy room to eat, read or relax in. We enjoyed every minute of our stay - thank you so much!

Lovely stay, will be back

Likte It is a lovely friendly site with amazing views. Very quirky and some might find it ramshackle in the way the buildings are cobbled together (personally this adds to it's charm for me), but showers & toilets were very clean & it was great having a quick wash, washing machine available. Love the "honesty" nature of the shop & machines (pay or donate what you can afford) and hope that no-one ever abuses this feature.
Very friendly black cat & chickens too!

Likte ikke nothing I can think of with the site - had issues with Google Maps sending us down the wrong entrance at nearly midnight though, hopefully my report to them may help to fix this issue.

Veibeskrivelse av ruten

Wheems is signposted on South Ronaldsay. Look out for white signs with green borders. From St Margaret's Hope, go up the hill to the main road south/north (A961) and turn right towards Burwick. Turn immediately left at the war memorial, marked Eastside. Drive for 1.5 miles past the church hall, over the crossroads, down towards the sea and the site is the first turning on the left.

Lokale attraksjoner

The sea views around here are quite something, but so are the heritage spots – get to grips with the local geology at the Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre (10 minutes’ drive), then take a trip to the Tomb of the Eagles (15 minutes) to see the Stone Age site and follow a path to the secluded remains of a Bronze Age building. If you’re impressed with the upcycling on site, take it to the next level with a visit to the Italian Chapel (15 minutes), where Italian prisoners of war transformed a couple of Nissen huts into a place of worship using bits and pieces scavenged from the local area. Fresh air activities are in fine supply here too – take a walk with a woolly pal from Skate Rumple Orkney Alpacas, tee off at scenic Orkney Golf Club or head into Kirkwall for birdwatching and seal-spotting boat trips (all half an hour away by car). If you prefer your air in compressed form, there’s some excellent (if chilly) scuba diving to be done around the wrecks of Scapa Flow (45 minutes).
