Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Hoy Island?
The best area to stay on Hoy Island is around the village of Lyness, particularly for those interested in the island's naval history and convenient access to amenities.

Lyness is situated on the eastern side of the island, overlooking Scapa Flow. It was a key naval base during both World Wars, and remnants of this history, such as the Lyness Naval Base Museum and numerous wartime structures, are still present. The area is relatively flat compared to other parts of Hoy, making it easier to navigate, and it offers the most concentrated services on the island, including a small shop and cafe.

Couples interested in the island's unique history and natural beauty will find Lyness a great base. Its central location allows for easy exploration of both the historic sites of Scapa Flow and the more rugged landscapes, like the famous Old Man of Hoy sea stack, which is accessible via a scenic drive or hike from the village.

For travelers seeking a peaceful retreat with historical significance, Lyness provides a comfortable and convenient option.
When is the best time to go to Hoy Island?
The best time to visit Hoy Island is typically during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is mildest and wildlife is most active.

During this period, you'll experience longer daylight hours, which are ideal for exploring the island's dramatic landscapes and natural attractions like the Old Man of Hoy sea stack and the Rackwick Valley. The ferry services also operate more frequently, offering convenient access. This is a great time for travelers who enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, birdwatching, and photography.

For those interested in seeing puffins and other seabirds, June and July are particularly good, as these months coincide with the breeding season. The cliffs around the Old Man of Hoy become bustling with birdlife, offering excellent viewing opportunities for nature enthusiasts and photographers.

If you prefer fewer crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures, late spring (May) or early autumn (September) can also be good options.
