This trip involves alot of moving each day to a new place. When we arrived here, alone with the view, the sheep, the loch and the windmills, we wished we had just spent a week at the Rymmon. Adorable trailerhome with every last detail, clean, roomy enough and relaxing. (You don't notice the house behind the hill:)

Fantastic stay here, the perfect place to explore Orkney from. Dorothy was wonderful and ensured everything was well organised, clean and comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic after exploring outdoors on the colder, windier days. A short drive to Kirkwall township in a quiet setting. Highly recommended!

From

I loved the location of the property about 10/ 20 minutes drive from most of the historic sites we wanted to see. The house is about 10 minutes drive outside Stromness in a very quiet location, by a quiet roadside. The owner Simon was so friendly and couldn't have been more helpful and he responded to our requests for information immediately. The house has everything you need and was comfortable, warm and spotless and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property. Love Orkney and thank you Simon for all the info and suggestions for spectacular walks, we even saw puffins at Brough of Birsay and enjoyed a delicious lunch in the Standing Stones Hotel listening to the Birsay boys play in the folk festival! Hope to return one day to explore the islands further.

The room was large and very comfortable. The location is good, being a short walk from the main street of Kirkwall, and the cathedral and other sites, as well as being easy to get onto the roads to tour the island.

Beautiful spacious room, with spacious modern bathroom and cosy bed. Lovely breakfasts, excellent cosy private bar. Parking close by/out front if you time it right. Staff - amazing! Chef so lovely and lady on breakfast duty also - helped set up so we could watch the All Blacks v England rugby match early in the morning. Chef also showed some interesting local events being the Orca visiting the harbour. Made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts were great - lots of choice

Besides the unpredictable weather, Orkney offers a magical environment with something to interest everyone - including history, archaeology, wildlife, fishing, walking, beautiful beaches and other landscapes. Kirkwall and Stromness are exceptional for sightseeing and Orcadians are so friendly and genuine.

We stayed for three nights after eleven on Shetland.

We stayed for three nights after eleven on Shetland. We found great gluten free eating options in Kirkwall (I will review on Find me Gluten Free). We arrived very late on Friday. Saturday we spent in the many museums, historic buildings, galleries and shops of Kirkwall. We did one day trip by bus and ferryl to the excellent Sccapa Flow museum. Unfortunately the only day we had to do this was Sunday, when the buses are infrequent, so we had to spend most of the day at Scarpa Flow. On the monday, we were on the late night ferry to Aberdeen, and could not stay or leave our luggage in the apartment. So we hired a car - and visited the prehistoric monuments and the museum in Stromness before spending some at Scapa Beach. We ate in The Storehouse restaurant, which was really hospitable and the food was amazing, then getting a taxi to the ferry termina. We had visited a couple of islands in Orkney before, but this was our first time in these parts - we will bve back!

Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology.

Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology. Mellow people. Decent public transportation on Mainland. Long, rich history. Beautiful place. Good charity shops and much locally made jewelry. Welcoming services at the cathedral and the Catholic Church. Good restaurants, but suggest you make reservations in advance.

The Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel are wonderful and full of fascinating wartime history. Maeshowe was a great visit with the commentary from our guide full of humour and interest. Ring of Brodgar and Stenness - atmospheric - as was Skara Brae. The St Magnus Cafe in Kirkwall is a great, casual eating place and the Ayre Hotel for something more formal - both with very good food.
