About the neighbourhood

The Commodore restaurant is open on Friday and Saturday during the summer months. There is small shop and post office where you can purchase essentials.

A car is useful in Orkney as it allows you access to many more beautiful sites that cannot accessed by bus, but if you do not have or wish to have a car many of the well known attractions of Orkney can be reached by bus. In the summer months there is a open toplan bus that visits many of the top attractions. The X1 bus runs through Holm, this bus starts at St Margaret's Hope Pentland Ferry terminal and terminates at Stromness Ferry terminal
