About this listing

Your once-in-a-lifetime adventure in the past begins at Boloquoy Victorian Farm & Watermill.

Sanday is one of Scotland’s great island treasures with over five thousand years of archaeology, abundant wildlife, spectacular seascapes, vast sandy bays and crystal-clear water.

Enjoy a unique stay in Scotland’s authentic Victorian lifestyle experience. Immerse yourself in the everyday life of a remote island farm between 1880 and 1950. Boloquoy provides a comfortable and authentic stay – one that will challenge you to reflect on your lifestyle and leave you changed.

Explore a sustainable past, a deep connection to the landscape and one of Scotland’s undiscovered island communities. Uncover how Orkney Retreats and Edward & Vintage have carefully peeled back the years and restored the farm to its authentic past, with utmost attention to detail.

Fully furnished with the Fea family’s original furniture and possessions, Boloquoy Victorian Farm & Watermill sleeps six adults in three historic double beds – and the option to sleep in an original Orkney box bed.

From the 1800s parlour to the authentic 1950s kitchen (and luxury 21st century bathrooms), everything around you is authentic – Boloquoy is truly a journey through time.

Still home to a range of heritage livestock, crops and vegetables, Boloquoy has been a working farm for all of its three-century history. Once considered the very model of a family-owned farm, the land is also home to a historic watermill which is undergoing restoration, and supports a wetland habitat conservation area. All proceeds from guests staying at Boloquoy help to continue the heritage conservation project here.

The ground floor Parlour sleeps two in an original Victorian double bed within the box bed alcove. Upstairs, Annie’s Room sleeps two in a beautiful white cast iron double bed, or provides the opportunity to sleep in an authentic Orkney box bed. Meanwhile, the Master Bedroom features an 18th century four-poster bed.

The Old Kitchen, still containing original range, has been repurposed as a sitting room and study for guests. The New Kitchen and Dairy are staged in the 1950s, when they were added. Hidden away upstairs is a modern shower room, and downstairs a luxury 21st century spa bathroom.
