Lying in the confluence of two great oceans the Orkney Islands are renowned for spectacular beauty, ancient history and mystical sacred sites. Via House is the most northerly retreat in the UK offering Tai Chi and Chi Kung, Creative Visualisation, Walking Meditation and Environmental Art.  Set in 3.5 acres Via House, 5 miles from from the 15th Century fishing village of Stromness,
is nestled between the world heritage sites of Skara Brae, Ring of Brodgar and the standing stones of Steness.

VIA, from the old Norn word VEAO, meaning a sacred place has it’s own Bronze Age burial mound and is in alignment with the nearby stones of Via. As an Island retreat Via emanates a secret charm that is indefinable and compelling. At Via House John and Lynn are pleased to offer you an alternative Island retreat break that is peaceful and nourishing for mind, body and spirit.
