Lovely base for our Orkney explorations

Beautiful cosy cottage with wonderful views and very well appointed

The property is in a wonderful location. Its clean and well equiped. The host was very helpful. We most definitely will be booking to stay again.

Amazing location, right on the sea. The waves lapping under the window. Amazing view; watching the sunrise and sunset from sitting in the window. The cottage is like a gallery. The amount and quality of the art work simply astonishing; including a Leila Thomson 'mini gallery' of her renowed tapestry-prints and an Orkney chair! The cottage aesthetics are the best we ever experienced. And there is more. Everywhere you turn you notice a piece of art work e.g. ceramic coasters, individually painted mugs. So many small details that arranged with care and artistic taste. The living room window is like a painting of the sea as you looking out. The practicals: very clean; airfryer, very good selection of pots & pans and utensils; barbecue set; table and chairs to take outside; wooden bench under the window; very good shower that heats up fast and powerful, extra towels available; comfortable bed with sea view; adjustable heating; books and information about Orkney including maps; binoculars; parking on the doorstep next to the jetty. Excellent communication with the host. Lovely village with a fine seafood resturant, five minutes from the ferry (you can watch it coming in and out from the window); 20 minutes drive to Kirkwall. A bonus was the blue sky and sunny days. Overall, an exceptional, unique cottage for a memorable holiday. Cannot recommend it enough.
