Good

The weather

A very comfortable holiday home, which we have rented for a week for the last 3 years, and we’ve already booked for 2027. The location suits us very well, being on the edge of Stromness and with easy walking distance of the town centre. The facilities provided are excellent, and welcome hamper was most welcome. The owners have provided a detailed description of all the equipment in the house and a wide ranging volume of things to see and do in Orkney.

No downsides at all

Location was very good within a quite area but with an easy walk to the promenade and shops. Property had a garden and parking area, was clean and very modern and comfortable furnishings and facilities, with all the equipment you need for a stay. Lots of info provided on places of interest in Orkney.

The cleaning fee of £150. which was included in the booking was in my opinion a bit excessive at, particularly when guests were asked to empty bins, strip all beds and leave linen and used towels etc in the bathroom before they left. This was the only downside.

Good kitchen facilities. Very clean. New bathroom. Comfy beds. Quiet heat exchange unit. We only knew it was there because we saw it on back wall.
