"The host was very friendly and helpful. She served a good breakfast in the morning at our chosen time. The place is not found easily and needs an entrance sign. Overall I would stay there again."

"On the edge of Stromness, so feels like you're in the wilds but within easy walking distance of the town. The accommodation was warm, well-equipped and thoughtful accessories like tea, coffee, milk, biscuits and sweeties were much appreciated."

"Perfect place to stay in the quiet and laid back village of Dounby as it is close to a lot of archeological sites which are about 10 to 20 minutes away in every direction. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great food as well. Spacious parking in the back. There is a gas station and a market across the street so you don’t have to worry about driving too far to refuel and get food. This place will be my go-to the next time I travel to Orkney Islands!"

"The hotel has clearly just been refurbished and the entrance area was very nice indeed. I was later checking in and had to wait a wee bit until helped by a member of staff - wasn’t a huge issue for me though. The room itself was lovely - spotless and stylish. Didn’t have breakfast as I was leaving early."
