    The location was excellent, close to the neolithic sites and not too far from Kirkwall, where all groceries could be bought. The lodge was spotlessly clean and cosy and warm. It is a bit small, we were only three, and it takes a bit of getting used to the small area available but in the end everything was available, even the cooking area was more than OK. Nice to have a hot tub, which we used twice, inspite of the bad weather on our second day.
