Ferries operate two services to Hoy, one a passenger only service
from Stromness to Moaness and the other a car ferry from Houton to
Lyness. During the summer months although the crossings are daily
and frequent, it is advisable to book all car ferries. |
| The
cottages, West Linksness and Nether Linksness are in the north end
of the island of Hoy, 20 minutes drive from Lyness and a short 300
metre walk from Moaness. |
