Eday

Eday is one of the wildest of the Northern Orkney islands. Wildlife thrives here and an on-island Ranger service offers guided walks and a large number of events through the year.

The hostel is run by the small volunteer group of ECA. It's an unmanned hostel so guests are able to come and go whenever they please. The hostel has great self-catering facilities, with disabled access, on-site community laundry and free WiFi. Towels are provided and there's no charge for electricity. The hostel is situated next to the on island electric car hookup and a local shop is only 15 minutes walk away. 

A Community Ranger is on site to help and organise guided walks which can be arranged by meeting you at the Ferry Terminal, but please arrange this in advance by phoning 0770 666 2377 or emailing ranger@edaypartnership.org

For further information please contact the hostel direct on +44 (0) 7447 460169 or +44 (0) 1857 622283 or email hostel@eca.islands.scot

If it's peace and quiet you're looking for, this is the place for you!

Sitting close to the beach, Eday hostel is a great place to get back in touch with nature - with upland moors, grasslands, freshwater lochs and a stunning coastline attracting a wide variety of animals and birds throughout the year.

The island has a rich historical heritage with visible remains from the Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Pictish and Norse periods. Highlights include the 15 foot tall Stone of Setter and the Vinquoy Chambered Cairn.
