This was much better than it said on the listing. Everybody was most welcoming and helpful. The hut was warm and cosy which you need as Orkney winds can be tuff. Location is great, near archeology site and lovely beach. Good shower etc. highly recommend this.

Beautiful location and great facilities. This hut is so well insulated that I was too warm in my duvet! We enjoyed our visitation in the morning from the resident poultry too! Only a brief stay but very enjoyable and lovely to meet such welcoming and helpful hosts :) thank you!

Staying at John's camping hut was one of the best experiences I've ever had. It's even difficult to put it in words and sentences; that view through the window, the radio and garden table in front, the comfort, John's extraordinary hospitality and care, the magic surrounding Evie with Atlantic and North Sea meeting few meters below, prehistoric settlement at the edge of the shore... I couldn't possibly recommend any other place but this, the best possible choice (and for your budget) to explore Orkney to the west, east, south, you name it. I booked this paradise by complete chance and randomness, and it turned out to be the best gift I could've imagined. John is a great host, an admirable and hard- working man with heartwarming care for his guests and pure Orkney-kindness. But these words just understate the experience of meeting John and staying at his place, you just have to go and see. Thank you John for sharing this paradise and making me feel at home. It was pleasure to meet you and I'll definitely see you again!! Best of luck :D

We loved this experience and would absolutely recommend John as a host. He was extremely warm and friendly, giving us a tour of the facilities and some excellent advice for local sites and eating places. The camping hut looks out over beautiful views and we even glimpsed the Northern lights from the window! It is warm, clean and comfortable. John also kindly provided us with a kettle, tea and coffee. The toilet is close by and very clean too. Evie is a beautiful village and due to the size of the island within easy access of all corners. Thank you John!

John was very hospitable and helpful. The accomodation was full of character, comfortable and unique. The setting was stunning. We really enjoyed our stay. A shower would have been nice however we had access to a sink and cooking facilities. Very good value for money.

John ist sehr nett und hat uns viel Tipps zur Umgebung gegeben. Die Unterkunft ist richtig nett, ein kleines Häuschen, mit Strom und kleiner Heizung. Es war sauber und ein super Ausblick. Eine Toilette mit Warmwasser ! Am nächsten Tag hatten wir die Gelegenheit hier das kleine Cottage zu bekommen! Super nett eingerichtet, viele Kleinigkeiten. Einfach nur schön!

John welcomed us on arrival and showed us round. The hut is clean and warm, just what we needed after a damp day on the motorbikes. John was helpful and answered all our questions about Orkney, directing us to the nearest Broch to have a look round as the weather cleared. The location is stunning, recommended.

We had a lovely stay at John's camping hut in Evie. Back to basics but that's what we were looking for - like camping but more comfortable. The hut is really well built with about 6 inches of insulation, it is cosy and comfortable (there were 2 hot water bottles and electric heater which we didn't need (July). Padlock provided.) It was great to be able to enjoy our breakfast in the outdoor seating area John has set up and access to kettle was handy for the morning cuppa, although the early morning cockerel was a bit of a surprise! The toilet is about 20 metres from the hut and has hot water all day, it is like a wet room with a drain in the corner so even though there is no shower there is that. Evie has great views and was a great base to see orkney, with a car anyway! John was very friendly and made us feel welcome. Would recommend.

Our hostess was very welcoming on our arrival. Seona had tea and coffee available for us. The house was as described on the web site with fabulous views of the Island of Hoy and sea views from the front rooms. We stayed two nights with Seona and our stay on the Orkney Islands would have been perfect - except for the weather. We would highly recommend Seona and a view to the Orkney Islands a must for anyone travelling to the north.

A lovely location with a great view on Island of Hoy and very caring host. The breakfast was fabulous.

Very nice accommodation and an outrageously beautiful view.

Seona was very welcoming, and graciously accommodated a goof-up I had made with the reservation. Billia Croo is on a picturesque hill overlooking the coast, with dramatic cliffs in the background. It was great to enjoy the delicious breakfast Seona prepared while gazing out the big window at the ocean. The location is perfect, out on its own while still just a short walk away from Stromness.

Seona was lovely, and the view from Billia Croo is even more lovely. The breakfast spread was great as well.

Lovely comfortable place in a quiet setting with great views from our own sitting room. Davey and Seona were very welcoming and happy to provide advice about places to visit. The breakfasts were great - really set us up for the day. Great place to stay.

Very comfortable place with a very gracious host. A little bit far out of town to be completely convenient, but still a very nice stay.

Big room nice People and good Connections. All in all good

The host canceled this reservation 46 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A very friendly welcome.

Had a lovely time in Jasmin's and Emilie's house which is very close to the harbour in Kirkwall, yet not too close to be noisy. Very welcoming and warm home. Definitely recommend it :)

We had a wonderful time in Orkney staying with Annie. She was a friendly and gracious host and made us feel very welcome. The room we stayed in and the house itself had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Communication was excellent and our arrival was smooth. It is within walking distance of shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone going to Orkney!

Annie was a very friendly and open host - keen to make my stay enjoyable. I already knew a fair bit about the islands, so didn't need a guide, but I'm sure she would be able to provide endless information and help to anyone with a more touristy agenda!

Very friendly and couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. Very relaxed re our 11 month old border terrier and there dog is adorable. Layed back and friendly couple. Couldn't have asked for more

La maison est nickel, le lit très confortable et chacun est libre d'entrer ou sortir quand il veut. Annie et Stuart n'ont pas manqué d'être présent pour nous accueillir malgré ce qui semblait être un planning chargé.

The host was magic, location great but if she u want B&B accomodation u will not get it, if u wanthostel accommodation u will get oit.

We had a warm welkom of Annie&the labrador Blitz. The room was perfect, nice bed&comfi. We could use the kitchen and other facilities. Thanks again for the hospitality.

It was lovely to stay at Annies home. We absolutely fell in love with her gorgeous dog. =) The room was nice and clean and we slept very well. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to stay longer than one night.

Arrived at the house just like turning up at a friend of a friend. The house was clean and tidy with room exactly as described. Scrupulously clean, warm and spacious I had 2 lovely nights staying with Annie, Stoop and their lovely dog. The bed was huge and comfortable. The only thing that disturbed me was the storm! Big clean bathroom, nice hot shower with nice local smellies to use. I didn't hang around much as was at a family event but the family were lovely, interested to chat but also to leave me to my own devices. Perfect for my stay in Orkney and would recommend to anyone passing thru. Kirkwall itself isn't big so moving around from the place wouldn't be difficult I suspect but family shuttled me around.

Great wee place in middle of Kirkwall, best part was the breakfast! Haggis and poached eggs were the best. Louise was very accommodating. Comfortable beds/now tv etc. Very happy.

Louise, Steve and the little dog Kye are really great hosts! We were filled with care and gentleness. The house is clean, tidy and functional, in the room there is everithing you need (included TV, hairdryer and boiler). The location is great, near the bus station, from which leave all connections to the island, and from restaurants, supermarkets and banks. We are fully satisfied!

Louise runs a great bed and breakfast in central Kirkwall. Great attention to detail, comfortable beds and great breakfast. We came in winter when they do not serve a cooked breakfast, but who would mind with such a selection of treats on offer? Very central location in Kirkwall. Lovely hosts. One to bookmark.

We had a really pleasant stay at Papdale Mill. The room was really comfortable and breakfast was great. The central location was ideal for exploring Kirkwall and Louise and Steve were really nice, welcoming hosts.

This was my first ever booking and stay at an airbnb. I stayed for three nights and have to say all my worries were put to shame. The room was big, the bed comfortable, everything was clean and nice and it only took a couple of minutes to walk to the main street and the cathedral. The two best things about my stay were however the breakfast and the hosts. Louise offers several different breakfast choices and everything I tried was tastefull and well cooked. She also offers great packed lunches if you need one. Both Louise and her husband are friendly and caring people and do their best for their guests. I was even given a lift when I needed one! Next time I go to Orkney I will definetly stay with them again.

Unfortunately, we were not able to stay at Louise´s place (because of the ferry schedule) but the communication with her was great.

Louise was an excellent host. She has a beautiful, clean well located house. The room was a great size and well equipped with tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was great and cooked to perfection. Cereals etc were also made available. When I come back to Kirkwall, I will stay here again. Thank you!

Perfect location for the city, ferries etc. Comfortable and great for business trips or stopovers.

My parents stayed in Holm and loved every minute of it from start to finish. Teresa couldn't have been more helpful. The bungalow had everything they could have wanted and it was spotlessly clean. Could not fault this accommodation at all. It's really conveniently situated only a 15 minute drive to Kirkwall and 25 minutes away from St. Margaret's Hope port. The views from the front window onto the harbour are just breath taking.

Teresa offers you an entire, big house. Clean and well equipped! Perfect to expolore the Orkneys.

What a nice, modern, fully equipped cottage on a beautiful location with a splendid view. A good location to explore Orkney. Teresa is a great host, who makes you feel very welcome, even after the midnight arrival of the ferry in Kikwall from Shetland. We were the first guests in this cottage and the house was perfect. Teresa wanted feedback for making this house even better for next guests. Beautiful big garden with sunshine till late in the evening. Nice livingroom with a cosy (and warm) electric hearth. A great place to stay!

Thank you so much Teresa, We had a fabulous trip & the cottage is fantastic, a lovely home from home. Hope to return to the island which is just beautiful. Regards Mandy & Family.

Great home and amenities. We were super comfortable there. Location is perfect. From Holm you are mid way between all the awesome sites in South Ronaldsay and the Stromness area. Teresa is fabulous.

Great location and home. The place was cost, clean, and comfortable. Teresa was welcoming and gracious.

We had a fantastic stay at Glenduron. We arrived late at night but Teresa made sure the house was easily accessed even though we were much later than anticipated. They provided invaluable local information. The house is beautiful and well prepared for guests! It is also very central for seeing all of the mainland Orkney. We will be booking the house again!!!

My mum, grandmother and I had such a lovely time in St Mary's. We were so pleased that we were so close to the Italian Chapel as that was the purpose of our trip - if you like walking, it's about a 20 minute brisk walk, or busses run there every hour. The cottage was VERY clean, extremely spacious and the beds super comfy! Everyone in the area is so friendly and we made friends with the taxi driver who drove us around for the 5 days (unless we caught a bus, which we did a few times - you can stand outside the cottage, hold your hand out and the bus will stop, which we thought was rather lovely!) We invited Teresa and her husband Malcolm to the cottage for a coffee one evening and it was great to meet them; two genuinely kind, chatty people - our kind of people! After a lovely chat, they asked us again to let them know if we needed anything. Additionally, Teresa messaged me one day asking if we wanted a lift to the chapel, which was so sweet of her and was very much appreciated (as was the wine that was left for us for our arrival!) I am planning on coming back here with my grandfather and partner as they unfortunately couldn't make the trip, and we hope to stay in Glenduron (if not, then in the area) when we next come. On a personal note, we did struggle without internet (the only area which 3G or 4G is available is Kirkwall, a 15 minute bus ride away) and the cottage didn't have wifi, which made it difficult to research where to go, how to get there, what there was available to us in the area, so wifi in the cottage would be beneficial we think. All in all, a really lovely trip, great cottage with stunning views of the sea, and friendly hosts. Thanks again!

Tanie, świetnie ulokowane miejsce nad zatoką. Idealne dla rodziny 2+2 lub dwóch par. Polecam.

A really well maintained and convenient cottage overlooking the harbour at St Margarets Hope. What a fantastic base for exploring Orkney - we chose it because we were late arriving on the evening Gills Bay ferry, and had an early start going back, so no hassle. Post Office/corner shop a minute's walk away, a cafe and restaurant (Creel Inn reopening under new management soon) but not much else - you'll need to go to Kirkwall around 25 minutes drive away. Wifi great, and house cosy - everything works well, and nicely decorated too. Highly recommended.

Tracey was very helpful and accomodating. It was the perfect place for visiting friends to stay. They had a wonderful stay and said it was very comfortable (one said he had the best night's sleep in awhile - beds very comfy!)

Tracey hat uns freundlich in Empfang genommen und uns machen lassen. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir würden sofort wieder kommen. Wir genossen unsere Privatsphäre wie in den eigenen vier Wänden. Es war alles sauber und modern.

The Tracey's house is very cozy and we really enjoyed our stay there. Very good location :)

Absolutely perfect. If I returned to Orkney, I'd stay here again. Clean, well-furnished, spacious and located literally steps from a convenience store and a pub. You can't beat it.

Our stay at Traceys house was wonderful! The house has everything you need; it's cozy and very clean. It's next to the sea and we loved the view. Thanks Tracey, for having us!

The little house was lovely, quiet and clean. We enjoyed having the bay right outside the door, along with a few seals on the slip on sunny mornings. There are several good restaurants in the area, including Jim Fred's Cafe, which does an excellent vegetarian breakfast. Tracey was responsive and kind, particularly when I left my mobile in the house and had to come back in a rush to collect it and try to make my flight (I did)! Highly recommended.
