Only issue we had was, that we didn’t stay long enough!! We will be returning and staying for much longer!! The cabin was warm, clean, had everything we needed, the bed was comfy, hot tub was nice and hot! View was outstanding! We also loved how private it was. One of our favourite places we have stopped this year!

Robyn’s Nest

JohnRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Really enjoyed staying at Gemma’s place, location was great with fantastic views and next to a working farm so you get to watch the cows from the window. Really well equipped with everything you would need for cooking and making the stay a homely one. Hopefully we will visit again soon.

A sunlit room features large glass doors that frame expansive views of the outdoors. The space is furnished with a circular table at its center, surrounded by a warm yellow rug. A modern lamp stands in the corner, enhancing the room's inviting atmosphere.

Torran Cottage - Views, Exclusivity & Tranquility

AshleighRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We enjoyed our stay so much we extended to a second night. The house was perfect and the hot tub and deck area was amazing! Complete tranquility and relaxation. It couldn’t have been better! We just adored it! Loved visiting Geise Farm and seeing all the animals, playing in the big garden and visiting Strathy Beach! Brilliant hosts!

Little Maus, your perfect highland hideaway

MurrayRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Had a great couple of days at Little Maus. Eric and Alison were lovely hosts, making us feel welcome and the home baked bread and shortbread were amazing! Lovely part of Scotland would definitely recommend! Thank you

176 marrell, cottage just off NC500.

MarcRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What can we say, home from home. Beautiful and cozy. Everything you need for a relaxing break. Ideal for our little family. So peaceful and quiet. Little to no internet so kids had no option but to communicate which was lovely. Had 1 little problem with the heating which was sorted within seconds. Can’t fault this place at all. The only problem we had was it didn’t last long enough. We’ve historically stayed in caravans but this has changed our mind for the future. Thank you Simon and Lyndsey.

Incredible location on a hill overlooking the loch (100metres away). Amazing views, comfortable bed and cosy cottage with everything we needed . Moira was very friendly and helpful. If you like walking and wildlife there is so much to explore in the area.

Secluded cottage by the Sea

JessicaRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Beautiful home and Rachael was a great host (hands off but very responsive-just what I like). The location cannot be beat. We had a car but chose to taxi most places. Even our taxi drivers were admiring the location. The hot tub was AMAZING. We got stuck on the island an extra day due to weather conditions impacting ferry crossings. Rachael was able to accommodate an extra nights stay. Although you feel very remote, there are 3 grocery stores within 10 minutes and you have easy access to all of Kirkwall. Favorite part was the neighbor sheep….waking up and looking out to see all the sheep while you get ready was so fun!
