We chose to be away from town. Rural was good for us and only short drive to ammenities with a car. Well equipped, and the supplied bread and milk were appreciated nice touch. Very clean and well maintained with homey touches.

Jon was very welcoming and helpful, from letting us leave the bags in the B&B while finishing the cycling the next day, to cooking a delicious dinner for us. The dining room has stunning views over the coastline. I'll be back for sure!

Amazing place to stay on Westray! From the hosts Lin and Adam go above and beyond what would be required to accommodate guests. The Breakfast is outstanding. The room was very large and the bathroom was super nice and warm. Guests can use the shared lounge as well, which is a bonus. The wifi is very fast and reliable (for me that is also a big bonus) and the location could not be better. I would definitely stay here again if it is available on my next visit. Please note the kitchen is not for guest use, but they will provide you with a plate and cutlery if you wish to get takeaway from the local hotel. The local hotel also does evening meals, but it is best to pre-book.

It was an amazing stay. Unfortunately just for one night, but I can definitely imagine longer stay in such a cozy and beautiful place! It was very clean and well equipped and the surroundings were awesome. ☺️

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 !!

A great location on the edge of Pierowall, the main village on Westray. A traditional cottage, furnished traditionally with some mod cons, but don’t expect a modern luxury house. Lovely big comfortable queen size bed. Dog friendly with a yard, garden area straight outside the back door. 10 minute walk to the hotel pub/restaurant, which does excellent and inexpensive food, dogs allowed in the back bar. Food stores 3 minutes walk away.

Self catering. We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Shona had left us a welcome tray and milk and eggs as well as fresh flowers. The cottage was very cosy and well furnished. It contained everything we needed. We have rented holiday cottages often in the past and Bachylis is one that we particularly enjoyed. . .

Great location in the largest village of the island, Pierowall: one can reach all the main destinations in Sanday in a matter of a few tens of minutes. Room with a fantastic view on the bay and the seals resting on the beach at low tide. Jerry is an intresting person, with a lot of interests and hobbies. Enough to say that he is the author of all the pictures hung in the B&B. take a few time to examine them. Excellent eggs and local smoked salmon! Room was ample and cozy with a large bathroom.

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.

The Castleyards apartments are right in the heart of the village within walking distance to all the sights plus restaurants and grocery stores, etc. The apartment is compact but contains everything you need to enjoy your stay. The shower was a decent size and had excellent water pressure. The owners were responsive to questions.
