Located within 26 km of Maeshowe and 27 km of Standing Stones of Stenness in Toab, Sebay Mill Holiday Apartments features accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the apartment for the convenience of those who stay. The apartment also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. This is the best self cathering apartment I have stayed in. Everything we needed was in the apartment. The location is only 10 minutes away from Kirkwall and is therefore an excellent stay to explore the islands. The owners have done a great work to restore the old mill.
