FOR SALE
LOWER APPIEHOUSE AND APPIE’S TEAROOM & GALLERY
I am afraid I have decided that it’s time to call it a day! Appie’s is a good little business and continues to grow every year with 6,500 – 7,000 customers over the summer season. I have lived here in Orkney 12 years now and it’s been great living and working with such fantastic views but it has been really hard work trying to keep everything in the balance (on my own) since building the new Tearoom five years ago. So, it’s on the market - www.orkneypropertycentre.co.uk . I’ll be staying on in Orkney (can’t imagine living anywhere else) and will continue with the photography and crafts as a Member of the Orkney Crafts Association. I don’t know as yet where I will be living but I’d like to extend an invitation to all past customers to call in for a cuppa if they’re passing, I’d be delighted to meet up with you again. As soon as I have my new address I’ll post it on the website.
NB. As the banks aren’t lending money at the moment there is a possibility that the sale won’t go through before the new season starts so ……… you never know, Appie’s may be here for another year yet!! Either way, I hope to see you all again soon.
Best wishes, Pam
Welcome to Appie’s. To those of you who have visited the tea room and gallery here in Orkney you will hopefully be familiar with what we have to offer here in general and will enjoy searching out the changes we have recently made. For those of you who have yet to make the journey I hope this will give you an appetite to discover more.
The first thing you will notice on arrival is the stupendous view we have from here. You don’t have to be high up in Orkney to be able to see great distances and Appie’s is no exception. Overlooking the central basin of Orkney’s West Mainland we have a 180° panorama extending for 8 miles in all directions, overlooking 8 miles of busy farmland, with silver slivers of Harray Loch in the distance and ringed by low-lying hills. From the Burgar Hill wind turbines to the north, Orphir’s Ward Hill to the south-west and the atmospheric hills of Hoy to the South, we make the most of this view with large picture windows along the full length of the Gallery and Tea Room. For those lovely sunny still days (yes, we do get some!) we also have a large seated decking area.
