Lovely location, loved the peaceful surroundings, sheep etc. Nice clean Shower and bathroom.

Very small. Cramped bed just not suitable for us, being an older couple and one of us very tall. Had to climb over them to go to the bathroom. Nowhere to put anything by the side of the bed. Also not keen on sleeping in the kitchen! Would expect to have wifi available.

We loved Butterfly Lodge. Every amenity you could possibly think of had been thought about. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom and excellent shower was an added bonus. We'd recommend Lily's Lodges, as it's quiet but in easy reach of Kirkwall.

We loved everything.

View, location and standard of the residence.

Nothing at all

The place was clean and all on the ground floor. It wasn't a room it was a "pod". The scenery was beautiful when we arrived but the fog came in for the rest of our stay (no ones fault). The wildlife was wonderful.

1. When we got to Orkney I phoned to give an eta as I didn't want anyone waiting but I was greeted with have you seen the Ts and Cs. These were emailed over, a list of don'ts with a list of charges for breakages. No one greeted us there was a key pad. A book of instructions inside said if we had paid we agreed to the Ts and Cs !! They took their money a month before we stayed and we got the Ts and Cs when we arrived. We had paid £170 for the ferry return, they had £465 of our money so we had to stay. Then that night we had a text to say we owed another £30 for the dog and were given their bank details. With no facilities for BACS we offered cash or card. Cash was asked for and they would pick it up, next night several texts to arrange to pick up money but next day they didn't turn up. We had plans, £465 was already paid so we didn't wait but put their money in the key pad. The first night was freezing because we couldn't the heating to work, sorted next day. It was very small, when me and my husband sat on the sofa feet on the floor and the dog laid down there was little space to move. Bed attached to the wall in the kitchen area, my husband had to climb over me to get to the loo, he's in his 70s. The table had 3 chair stored in it - found that on day 2. It was too small, hosts wanted nothing but your money, 2 evenings spoilt with wanting £30, if they had met and greeted us it would have been paid on arrival. I can safely say we would never want to see their "beloved pods" again and would never recommend them. Personally we wanted self catering for 3 days to save money and it cost £495 (without food) for 3 nights. and they tell you beds must be stripped, washing up done everything tidy before you go. B&B is a great deal less with breakfast included and they strip the beds and do the cleaning.
