Everything. Rooms, beds and towels were pristine, rooms equipped properly, shower hot enough and with sufficient pressure. Breakfast was delicious and had lots of flexibility to accommodate dietary restrictions. The place is well located, just 20min walk (or 5min drive) to the centre of Kirkwall.

    Great location - a lovely beach is 5 minutes up the road in the car. You could walk to it, but the only route we could see took you along the main road. Lots of off road parking. Room sizes were good, beds were comfortable, the property was clean, warm and had everything we needed. Lovely clean bedding and towels. Great garden for the dog which he enjoyed! We had an issue with the electrics on our second night but Emma and Sean got it sorted really quickly and were super helpful in resolving the problem.

    The cottage was lovely, very spacious and clean. It is perfect for anyone with pets or children as has a lovely kitchen with dining table and 3 big bedrooms. The living room was spacious and comfy. We found the location good as we didn't want stay in the middle of town as well as had a car that allowed us to travel. It has a massive garden which was great for the dog.

    Amazing house, between farm and old stone mill, otherwise surrounded by pasture. Perfect heating for all rooms is available - good for Orkneys weather. The apartment is between Stromness and Kirkwall (closer to latter). Beautiful sandy beach can be reached by 30 minutes walk along a path just across the road. Pet/dog friendly!

    It is a good location for the Kirkwall ferries, shops and dog walking. The room was comfortable and clean, if a little basic.
