Apartment in Dounby
5 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviewsGreeny View, Old Quoyscottie
SimonRating, 5 stars3 days ago
we stayed for 4 nights and had a blast going to all of the heritage sites in Western Orkney and beyond. It is in a wonderful location for anyone interested in Archaeology and/or birding. David and his wife (and the cats and dog!) were very friendly and were available for a chat whilst we finished off the day with a bottle of wine in the garden. A beautiful place and a special shout out to the massive and very comfortable bed! We would definitely recommend staying here 👍👍👍

Vacation home in Orkney
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 72 reviewsThe Smiddy Kirkwall
BethanyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
A lovely gem right in the heart of Kirkwall! We stayed in the house as a party of five (parents + two teens + grandpa) and the number of beds and bathrooms suited our needs perfectly. The washer and dryer was so helpful since we were on a longer vacation, and there is a drying rack provided for clothes still damp after using the condenser dryer. The kitchen was pretty well supplied—we weren't cooking anything too involved, but for grilled cheeses, soups, etc, we had everything we needed. Black-out curtains were in the windows for any summer travelers. The on-site parking was deeply convenient (and could fit two cars depending on the size of the vehicles. We had a 5-seater SUV and could probably have fit two of them in there). The living area was cozy and had a HUGE TV, perfect for family movie nights. The location is PERFECT for walking into Kirkwall for a visit to the cathedral or restaurants (or a run down to Boots for makeup remover). Overall, a lovely, five-star stay.

It was wonderful staying at Jean’s place. Beautiful and cozy home away from home. Attention to details is worth calling out and we would highly recommend this stay at Jean’s. Jean and Donald are so kind. So I would want to not consider them just hosts but super hosts.

KateRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Had a great stay in Clare’s wee cottage, I genuinely can’t think of how it can be improved. Is seems very freshly decorated and all the things that we needed were there including some well thought through extras e.g. extension sockets. Very comfy bed, lovely lounge area, well equipped kitchen (not that we used it much). We had accommodation envy from friends staying elsewhere! We’d definitely return if we ever get the chance, thanks very much.

This was our families favorite place to stay. Beautiful area, house has lots of amenities, central to the places we wanted to visit, and quiet. Sharon was a great host. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone staying in the Orkneys.

HelenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Beautiful space. As a family we enjoyed cooking together & playing games in the evening. The hot tub was great, we used it everyday. The views from every room were amazing and it was so peaceful and tranquil. Local neighbours farmers and the wildlife were all very friendly. It was welcoming from the moment we arrived. Ideally located to visit places and a short drive into Kirkwall. Would highly recommend and define visit again. Very friendly and accommodating hosts!
