We loved everything about our stay! The location, the staff, the accommodations... All above our expectations! Especially for the value. We checked in late with no plans for food and were surprised with snacks waiting on us. Such a fun experience! Do yourself a favor and book here!

This place is twice the size I expected. I wish we hadnt just been overnighting there on our way through. 3 days snuggled by the fire in this cosy little apartment would be bliss.

Located right at the ferry wharf it was interesting to watch the activity around the wharf. It was a nice place to wander around Stromness and Stromness was a great base for the island. We arrived to a warm inviting place on a very cold day, the lights and heating had been left on for us. Kitchen is equipped with everything we needed. Off-street parking.

The keys were in the door on arrival. Two lovely self-catering cottages close to Stromness with fantastic views. Our hostess came to check that all was well soon after we arrived. All the appliances worked well, very nicely furnished. Near to good restaurants, and excellent Co-op in Stromness. Convenient for the ferry, and close to major archaeological sites.

The house is perfect and an ideal location for all main Orkney attractions on the main island. We also loved the hot tub and the weather was great for most of the week. Plenty of space to chill and relax. Excellent space for a family of 6 and loved the living room upstairs. Very novel but works very well. Everything needed for a top notch self catering house. And the welcome pack was AMAZING! A fantastic touch by Sarah the host. Highly recommend.

Well equipped, comfortable and very clean little house - two good sized double bedrooms upstairs (beds very comfortable) and compact open plan lounge/kitchen/diner and large shower room downstairs. On the outskirts of Kirkwall on the road to the airport. Our host Lukas was very friendly, helpful and responsive. Off road parking.
