    I had originally booked a cottage for a couple of nights for work locally and was informed that I was being moved due to a lodge due to an issue at the cottage. This was a great touch from the host and the lodge was exceptional. I believe I will be booking again after showing pictures of the lodge to my partner. Absolutely fantastic accommodation.

    The instructions were clear and the key collection was easy, despite the stormy weather. The facilities were fantastic - clean, neat and everything I needed for a more than comfortable stay. Would highly recommend this hostess & cottages/lodges.

    Roadside Cottage was comfortable, cozy and spotlessly clean. The location was ideal for exploring and the view across the water was breathtaking. Evelyn was a great host and the cottage had everything we needed for our stay.

    Great location to walk into Stromness, although it is uphill to go home!! Well equipped cottage, clean and tidy. They helped me out massively as realised I'd booked ferry for night before accommodation was booked but managed to get us into one of their Lodges for 1 night which was stunning
