Beautiful Secluded Home with own Beach in 6 Acres

JennyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Two of us, plus our two dogs, had the Noddle to ourselves so we had plenty of room. It was exactly as described. Had everything you needed plus very comfy bed. It was lovely to have the fire going and also to sit in the conservatory which was so toasty. I even had a go at sketching and playing the piano! Emilys tea room is such an easy walk and we had a delicious supper with her plus coffee the morning we checked out. Thank you Tony.

Leona”s place is spacious, warm and comfortable. It is well equipped and a great location to visit the local Neolithic sites, Stromness and Kirkwall. There is great access to the local Loch. I would definitely stay again.

Lochside bungalow, spectacular views and wildlife

GabrielleRating, 5 stars5 months ago

Lyndsey's house is impeccable and extremely well-equipped. The outside is beautiful. I loved my stay in the Orkney Islands and Lyndsey's house was a big part of it! The fireplace is a very pleasant plus. The location is very convenient for traveling around the different islands. Lyndsey was very considerate throughout the stay. I will definitely come back if I travel to the Orkney Islands again!

Pretty 3 bedroom cottage in beautiful settings

AndreaRating, 5 stars8 months ago

The 5 of us had a wonderful stay at Park Cottage. It sounded lovely on the listing but actually exceeded our expectations. Cosy, very clean, comfortable, very cute cottage in beautiful surroundings and a short drive to Kirkwall. The bus also stops right outside if needed. Kitchen well stocked with basics and welcoming cookies for our arrival. Very good communication with Ronnie. Thoroughly recommend this cottage.

*NEW* Lochend Lodge: A Captivating Little Gem

ClareRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Fabulous! Beautiful location with breathtaking views of the loch, ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness. Our first stay in this kind of lodge and we absolutely loved it. Had everything you need for a wonderful stay. Lots of local information leaflets provided and within easy driving of all places of interest. Would highly recommend. Leona was a great host. We were really lucky with great weather but hope to be back to hopefully see the northern lights next time. Thank you so much 😀

The Byre, Upper Faulds, Burray

TitusRating, 5 stars7 months ago

We can only wholeheartedly recommend Ian and Barbara's place. They are wonderful, warm, and extremely helpful hosts. We have spent many holidays in Scotland, and they rank on top of the list. Actually, having them around from the first hour, we felt like being invited into their family. This is perhaps their greatest give to any guest. Thank you, Ian and Barbara.

The exterior of the stone cottage is visible, showcasing traditional architecture with a sloped roof and multiple windows. Surrounding the cottage is grassy land, reflecting the natural landscape of the area. The setting sun casts a warm light, enhancing the stone façade.

Brodgar Cottage

DorritRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Absolutely loved my stay at Brodgar Cottage. Shawn was a kind and responsive host and gave a great range of recommendations for things to do. He offered a flexible check-in due to my ferry's arrival time which was much appreciated, and came to meet me and show me around the property. The house is comfortable and has everything you need, and is in an incredible location, basically equidistant from Stromness and Kirkwall, and with key sights walkable from the house itself. The parking space for the house is right outside the front door and keeps your car neatly off the road, with a potential additional one round the back if needed. The kitchen and bathrooms are clean and everything works well, there is a washer and dryer if needed too. The television is good and the wifi is strong! I would (and probably will!) absolutely stay here again happily, and many thanks to Shawn for being a great host.

SarahRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Bert’s apartment was excellent. It was even better in real life than on the pictures. We had two dogs and a toddler with us and were all very comfortable for the duration of our stay. Bert was an excellent host. Really friendly and accommodating. I’d definitely recommend a stay with him.

Private room with en-suite is always a great feature for a couple. Loved being on the water, and being able to explore right out the front door. Only issue is we didn't have enough time there. Thanks Shona for a great stay.
