Everything was perfect !! The location was a short drive from Kirkwall which meant we had the opportunity to visit some of the smaller villages enroute. Teresa and Malcolm, our hosts, welcomed us into their home and gave us many insightful tips about Orkney that made our trip run more smoothly. The breakfast was fresh and delicious each day and the room was generous in size with quality inclusions and a most incredible view! We most certainly recommend this accommodation for visitors to Orkney !!

This holiday home is perfectly located in the centre of town. It's very comfortable and provided us everything we needed for a most enjoyable stay. There was even a very nice garden to sit in during the long evenings. Though we never met anyone, the service was excellent.
