Welcome to Shorelands Orkney

Shorelands Orkney was established in 2020 by Orcadians Kirsten and Nicky Bichan.

Our journey began as a bed and breakfast in the home where we live with our three young children and small dog, Hattie.

Turning our family home into a guest house had been our ambition for a long time and after several years of work, we were delighted to finally open the doors to guests.

Little did we know that this would mark the start of an exciting adventure to offer something new to people visiting the islands…

Why we started offering Orkney holiday packages…

After a busy year of hosting guests from around the world at our bed and breakfast, we noticed that the majority of our visitors had very little time in Orkney and wanted to see as much as they could while they were here.

We realised that we could play a vital role in enhancing their journey – by providing transfer, accommodation and tour packages, we could help visitors embrace the true essence of Orkney, taking care of the details to allow guests to enjoy a stress-free experience and fully relax.
