This self contained apartment was lovely for our three night stay. We travelled to Westray and back on the middle day and it was great to be able to come home to this apartment after a long day. The location was great and we walked to the grocery store and into town and the cathedral without having to move the car. The apartment was well appointed, and our daughter enjoyed her private room up the top.
