Vacation rentals in Copinsay

Very charming and magical place with a beautiful view of the North Sea. They foster a sense of community with the shared kitchen where you can meet fellow travelers if you are inclined. Be aware that you really need to be equipped with your own stuff like towels, soap, shampoo, etc. Bedding is available for the huts if you ask but that's pretty much it. The huts have electric heating for chilly nights. Some small improvements could be made, like having hand towels in the bathroom and maybe a more comfortable mattress on the wood floor. As with all shared spaces, you encounter some who are more considerate than others. And the view of the sea can sometimes be obstructed by camper vans. But overall, this is very worthwhile for the calm and beauty, and there are nifty spots you can walk to nearby. Having a hired car, or your own, makes a stay here much more accessible. Oh, the chickens and the cat wandering around are adorable!

Can’t describe how beautiful the location is . The house is so beautiful and the view is breathtaking . We were welcomed by golden rays of sun and a rainbow . Sarah is the loveliest and warmest person I have ever met . She personally helped us know everything about the house. The kitchen is very well equipped. Kids room was so much fun with colourful lights , they had so much fun. Due to lack of time we couldn’t enjoy the hot tub and many more things like walking down the shore or the area. We just laid down and soaked in as much as we could. Overall this stay was amazing and definitely made our NC500 memorable.

If you visit Orkney do yourself a favour and stay at this property. Hosts are welcoming and the property has everything you need for a comfortable stay. This is a first class option in Kirkwall, walkable distance to bus stop, ferry, shops and restaurants/cafes.

Lounge/kitchen and bathroom downstairs, double bedroom upstairs, neat small garden and deck. Bright and airy, just like in the photos. Admirably clean throughout. Comfortable bed. Welcoming selection of books and games, also nice welcome pack of goodies. All kitchen staples were there, so no need to run to the shops for salt or Fairy liquid! The weather forecast was iffy, so Cathy provided logs and kindling for the log burner. It turned out that they were not needed: the heat pump did its job. We loved the cottage and St Margaret’s Hope, a small sleepy village near the ferry terminal. The cottage might not be suitable for more elderly guests as the stairs up to the bedroom are quite steep. The village might be too small and sleepy for others. Top marks for us though.

The Old Kirk was quite stunning - as soon as we unlocked and opened the door, we could see the charm and wonder of the whole place. It was superbly furnished and quite delightful, with so many interesting things dotted around... ...a real home from home and on quite a grand scale. Hoy is a charmingly remote and sometimes desolate place, but the Old Kirk was always a delight to come back to - so warm and cosy. We were particularly lucky that there was a folk music concert (Saltfishforty) on the Friday we were there, right next door in the Gable End Theatre - and we had two meals at Emily's, just up the road. A wonderful 4 days - Thanks, Inga.

Absolutely loved my stay here - was sorry to leave - such a peaceful place and beautiful location, John was very friendly and extremely helpful - would'nt hesitate to stay again.

The cabin was just perfect with a very comfortable bed I especially loved the stonework outdoor seating- very nice touch Many thanks for your hospitality

There aren’t enough words in English or Gaelic to describe how much myself and my friend/support worker LOVED .. staying @Brough Farm @ South Ronaldsay … i Love rural isolation , waterways, wild walks , seabirds and cows, stone walls and buildings ✅✅✅✅✅✅, not necessarily in that order … the capacity to self cater , with resources easily sourced from Stromness and Kirkwall , including fresh sourced fish , lamb , beef etc … have a bath after a big days walking and sleep in comfy beds , obviously adds to the bliss .. and then the cherry on the cake of our 10 night stay … was of course our timing was perfect for the Orkney Folk festival … which was sublime … Two Australians … left very sad .. from ‘our’ Orkney Island home … Mel and Graham were the bestest hosts .. and I’m deeply grateful for all of Grahams patience with sharing his farming knowledge about the darling cows and calf’s .
