Aultnagar Accommodation

Set in Orkney and only 14 km from Maeshowe, Aultnagar Accommodation offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. Offering a garden, the property is located within 16 km of Standing Stones of Stenness. Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre, Burray is 20 km from the bed and breakfast and Skara Brae is 26 km away. My husband and I enjoyed our stay with Laura and Brian immensely. There we cookies, pastries, tea and coffee really available upon arrival and throughout our entire stay. For the self catered breakfast, there were lots of hot/cold cereals, breads, pastries (gluten-free options), juices, yogurts, local cheeses, and all the fixings. Each morning, Laura had scones or some other baked good heating in the oven. Heating your own food for dinner or eating take out was an option, too, which we took advantage of one evening. Our room was very beautiful, modern, and cozy with a very comfortable bed. The whole place was spotless. Laura suggested restaurants and places of interest off the beaten path. She was a gracious, thoughtful, wonderful host - some of the best hospitality on our month long trip! Thanks for everything, Laura. We loved our stay with you. Highly recommend.

On clear days, guests can head outside to enjoy the holiday home's outdoor fireplace or simply kick back and relax. This trip involves alot of moving each day to a new place. When we arrived here, alone with the view, the sheep, the loch and the windmills, we wished we had just spent a week at the Rymmon. Adorable trailerhome with every last detail, clean, roomy enough and relaxing. (You don't notice the house behind the hill:)

Featuring sea and garden views, this guest house also includes free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The host(s) are lovely, the breakfast was delicious, the room was great. It had a really good combination of privacy in our room as well as comfortable common areas that made it feel like we were just staying with the family. Nicky was able to accommodate us for the guided tour (a later start time) and I'm so glad it worked out - the tour was one of my favorite parts of the overall trip to Scotland.
