Alojamientos vacacionales en Orkney

Of 60 or so places we have stayed at Airbnb, this has been the best Airbnb experience we’ve had! Given that this is a special trip (our honeymoon, which we had not mentioned before showing up) we feel very fortunate indeed! Stewart was an absolutely phenomenal host. So thoughtful and kind. But not imposing or ‘ever present’; just enough for a nice chat when we bump into one another out in the garden, and for some wonderful home-baked treats :) Stewart’s advice about getting last-minute tickets to Maeshowe (just a few minutes down the lane) was spot on and was the only reason we were able to visit. The place is really relaxed and quiet, a place to really unwind. It is a perfect base for exploring these wonderful islands, centrally located with all that’s needed just a 10 minute drive or a short bike ride away. We will certainly be back for an anniversary, as this place holds a special place in our hearts.

We had a great stay. The apartment was ideal and very well equipped. No complaints although, be warned, only one person can use the kitchen at a time! Would definitely recommend! Many thanks

Karen’s place is fantastic and we would highly recommend it. It exceeded all expectation with so much attention to detail, lovely welcoming treats, ample information about local attractions., night sensor lights, the works. Very cosy and well equipped, very comfortable beds, great to all have our own rooms . Easy to walk down to town & have the car parked right out front for travels throughout Orkney. Well equipped kitchen to have choice for meals . Neighbours guinea pigs were cute & great outlook to sheep & golf course . Karen is very responsive & kind. We loved it . Thanks

Widefirth 2 was a very comfortable cottage with everything we needed. Lots of space, warm and cosy. Kitchen was well equipped and the welcome hamper with all local produce was very much appreciated. Lounge furnishings were very comfortable and there was good quality bed linen. The large enclosed garden was very much appreciated by our Bernese Mountain dog, who enjoyed exploring. There are spectacular views across the bay, however unfortunately due to the wet weather the paths were a little muddy and we didn’t get to explore the walks as much as we wanted to. Although Widefirth is a little off the beaten track, it is well signposted and is a good location for exploring the Island. Kirkwall was only a 15-20 minute drive and around 30-40 minutes drive to the Ferry terminal at St. Margaret’s Hope. Greig’s wife welcomed us and Greig came to ask how we enjoyed our stay before leaving. I would definitely recommend Widefirth to friends and family, and would definitely stay with them again

Leona”s place is spacious, warm and comfortable. It is well equipped and a great location to visit the local Neolithic sites, Stromness and Kirkwall. There is great access to the local Loch. I would definitely stay again.

Doe Cottage was the ideal Orkney home-from-home for our honeymoon! Comfortable and refined space, authentically designed to feel immediately in our own cosy space. Ideal location to explore Mainland’s highlights as well as access to ferries to the other islands. Thanks to Sam and Lee’s helpful tips, we made the most out of every second of our stay. We hope to return some day!

Beautiful location with views over the loch. If you're into birds, it's a great location - close to a number of RSPB reserves and with a good number of bird species on the loch. There was a friendly pheasant around the house. We were visited by a male hen harrier too.

The house was spacious, really well stocked and in a great location. Lizzy communicated really well and made the whole stay very easy We had a fantastic two weeks there. The garden is a good size but for anyone bringing pets it is not secure.
