    The room was lovely, very clean and comfortable. Had a good sized ensuite shower room. Tea and coffee making facilities and fresh milk available. We had a great sleep. Breakfast was very tasty and plenty of options. The hosts were friendly and kind, myself and my son felt very welcomed. We have a new love for Highland Cows.

    Location great with lovely view of Orkney. Accommodation surpassed our expectations. Host very welcoming and gave us a list of ‘must sees in the local area’. We were not disappointed with recommendations. Bedroom and facilities excellent. Bonus was meeting hosts very friendly dogs and being taken to meet the beautiful highland cows and their babies. An outstanding and memorable night spent at there.

    Disappointed we had booked double but got a twin but the view was great (we should have queried at time but there had been some confusion over bookings). Breakfast more than stated in information on booking.com I.e. £12.50 not £10 ( but prices increase and food was very tasty)

    Great views from bedroom. Breakfast was tasty but felt a bit rushed. Beds were comfy and room was quite spacious and well equipped.

    We had initially thought breakfast was included, however there is a separate charge for this with choice of cooked or continental.

    Our room was super spacious with a partitioned off sleeping area, the huge window at each end of the room let light flood in, with electric blinds it was great to wake in the morning and enjoy the views from our bed. The room had everything we needed and was very comfortable, the bed is enormous and again very comfortable. Breakfast was also very good.

    Nothing we didn't like.Breakfast served with all guests seated together round large table .we loved that and enjoyed chatting to other guests .If you don't like to socialise on the morning might be a minor issue but for us a very enjoyable stay on our trip around North coast.

    Wonderful house full of interesting artefacts all part of a design scheme which was very Scottish and very welcoming.A tasty breakfast and warm hospitable host.Extra bonus we were able to see new born Highland calf and feed the adult cows

    Nothing lacking - it was a great stay.

    We were running late but the host was good about it even though she was going out. She was very hospitable and had great stories to tell. Breakfast was very good - cost extra, and needed to pay in cash, but very good value when added to the room cost. We had everything we needed in the room, including wine glasses, and it was very comfortable and nicely decorated. Overall, the place feels like home - a very nice home. It put to shame some other places on our stop, which charged outrageous prices and had no idea how to deliver quality, service or value. This was a lovely stop and my friend (from the USA) and I both thought this was the best of all the places we stayed, even though it was the least expensive.

    Beautiful views from the bedroom, very clean and comfortable.
