Excellent breakfast. I only had the fruit and Greek yogurt (and good coffee) but that was exactly what I wanted. The host was very helpful with our early leaving and storage of our bikes.

Rymmon Retreat was a memorable stop on our three week trip through Scotland. The location was perfect (we went hoping to glimpse the Northern Lights but rain won that battle). It was starkly isolated as you would hope a property in Orkney would be but spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The sunset from the deck was spectacular (pre-rain) and we left regretting that we only had the one night. It definitely felt like "home on the road". Couldn't recommend it more highly.

Besides the unpredictable weather, Orkney offers a magical environment with something to interest everyone - including history, archaeology, wildlife, fishing, walking, beautiful beaches and other landscapes. Kirkwall and Stromness are exceptional for sightseeing and Orcadians are so friendly and genuine.

We stayed for three nights after eleven on Shetland.

We stayed for three nights after eleven on Shetland. We found great gluten free eating options in Kirkwall (I will review on Find me Gluten Free). We arrived very late on Friday. Saturday we spent in the many museums, historic buildings, galleries and shops of Kirkwall. We did one day trip by bus and ferryl to the excellent Sccapa Flow museum. Unfortunately the only day we had to do this was Sunday, when the buses are infrequent, so we had to spend most of the day at Scarpa Flow. On the monday, we were on the late night ferry to Aberdeen, and could not stay or leave our luggage in the apartment. So we hired a car - and visited the prehistoric monuments and the museum in Stromness before spending some at Scapa Beach. We ate in The Storehouse restaurant, which was really hospitable and the food was amazing, then getting a taxi to the ferry termina. We had visited a couple of islands in Orkney before, but this was our first time in these parts - we will bve back!

Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology.

Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology. Mellow people. Decent public transportation on Mainland. Long, rich history. Beautiful place. Good charity shops and much locally made jewelry. Welcoming services at the cathedral and the Catholic Church. Good restaurants, but suggest you make reservations in advance.

The Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel are wonderful and full of fascinating wartime history. Maeshowe was a great visit with the commentary from our guide full of humour and interest. Ring of Brodgar and Stenness - atmospheric - as was Skara Brae. The St Magnus Cafe in Kirkwall is a great, casual eating place and the Ayre Hotel for something more formal - both with very good food.

The location was ideal and allowed us to easily explore Kirkwall and then also visit nearby places using the bus service, which was excellent and close by. Everything was in walking distance including take aways, supermarkets and a leisure centre with a cinema. The house itself was perfect for our stay and the lovely touch of providing bread, butter, milk and even some Orkney Fudge on arrival, added to its charm!

We had a very spacious room with a walk in wardrobe/storage shelves & good size en-suite. A lovely sea view from our window& in a quiet area with only a short walk to nearby Hotel for evening meal if required. Good choice of continental breakfast on offer to suit all tastes. Teresa & Malcolm were friendly & knowledgeable about the area.

While part of my reason for going was work but we also spent several additional days in Orkney. We have been visiting Orkney for many years. Initially we used our caravan but in recent years have been unable to do so. The accommodation we used the first two years was not available but Polrudden provided a very acceptable alternative.
