    The property was conveniently located for catching the ferry to Orkney Island. The owner/manager was very kind. We appreciated that he drove us to the ferry.

    Fab host, very welcoming, sorted our dinner reservation and gave us some recommendations on places to go and see. Super dog friendly which is always a plus for me.
