Although secluded it had everything we needed. Being so secluded the wifi was a bit of a hot or miss, but that is not a bad thing as the views made up for it and we were so tired from being out expiring the area all day that we were all asleep very quickly.

    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 !!

    Lovely clean, comfortably furnished, spacious house in an ideal village location for the ferry and to see the Orkney sights. Particularly appreciated the dog friendly enclosed garden, sheltered outdoor seating area, dedicated parking and the log burner. Local grocery stores and good eating places nearby.

    absolutely loved everything about our stay at Rymmon Retreat! perfect remote location with breathtaking scenery and views right over Loch Swannay! only a 5min drive to the local Mistra shop in Evie village too! the lodge couldn’t have been any better, it was immaculate and so cosy and comfortable! Our hosts had literally thought of everything! it really was a home away from home! Free Wi-Fi at the property was superb too and allowed us to run our fire stick with no buffering!

    A very clean, spacious well equipped home from home. Huge safe garden for our dog. Fantastic log fire which kept the house warm and welcoming. Great sleep I huge beds. Next door to hotel and small shop where you could buy all the basics. Near the ferry terminal. If you want a quiet village feel to your stay but within an easy drivable distance to the sites this huge house is ideal. Kitchen big enough for 3 to eat in and a separate utility.
