We alway like a place very central but quiet and the Pilot Berth was right nest door to cafe an exquisite food store and supermarket. However, the big Tesco was only 15 mins walk. There was parking right outside the door in the CO-OP car park

The cottage is a prefect spot to stay in Sanday. Its spotlessly clean and well looked after. There's everything you'd need for staying, with a full kitchen, large bathroom, hairdryer and comfy bed.

North Walls Kirk

IanRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The Old Kirk was quite stunning - as soon as we unlocked and opened the door, we could see the charm and wonder of the whole place. It was superbly furnished and quite delightful, with so many interesting things dotted around... ...a real home from home and on quite a grand scale. Hoy is a charmingly remote and sometimes desolate place, but the Old Kirk was always a delight to come back to - so warm and cosy. We were particularly lucky that there was a folk music concert (Saltfishforty) on the Friday we were there, right next door in the Gable End Theatre - and we had two meals at Emily's, just up the road. A wonderful 4 days - Thanks, Inga.

A well-behaved dog sits in the grassy garden area of the cottage, with a stone structure and wooden fence in the background. The entrance of the cottage is visible, framed by greenery and against a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Modern house | Great location in Kirkwall

LizRating, 5 stars9 months ago

Everything about this house was perfect. It suited us (2 adults, 1 teen) and all our needs were met with ease. Spacious, comfortable, very clean, great parking, excellent amenities and we felt right ‘at home’. The location in Kirkwall was great and - it has to be said - at night it was silent...absolutely silent and we all slept so well here. We made use of the washing machine and had the clothes airer set up in living room which dried quite quickly with the wall heater going. The kitchen has everything you’d need to self-cater. Access (check in) was easy, as was check-out. The styling of this property wasn’t over the top either - we loved it. Nothing but high praise for Louise’s place on Old Scapa Road and we would happily stay here again. Orkney is incredible!

A serene beach scene features soft sand extending into calm waters. Gentle waves lap at the shore, while grassy vegetation borders the beach. Small islands are visible in the distance, with a clear sky overhead, providing a tranquil atmosphere.
