This beautiful property had so many personal touches. It felt like home & I struggled to leave each day. The hosts were incredible, so obliging. When I come back to Orkney this will be number one. Thank you Gillian & Nikki. Mel

Wonderful cute cottage right near everything you could need; shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and places to see. Very easy to find and parking outside was not difficult. Hosts left a delicious hamper of goodies which helped us out.

Comfortable, clean with everything for a pleasant stay. The welcome basket and fridge food was greatly appreciated.But the bed needs a top sheet and light blanket for summer rather than the winter weight duvet. A dish drainer would be helpful...

Hello! We are a mother and daughter team who live and work on the mainland of beautiful Orkney. This is our first time hosting and managing our own holiday let. Our aim was to create a welcoming home from home with a luxury feel. We are always available should you need any help or if there are any problems with the property.
The Cottage is centrally located but sits in a quiet courtyard. The main street with an abundance of fabulous local and speciality shops and cafes is just steps away. The St. Magnus Cathedral, Earl's Palace and Bishop's Palace are around a 5 minute walk up Victoria Street. There are many other historic sites to explore whilst in Orkney - The Churchill Barriers, The Italian Chapel, Maeshowe, and Skara Brae to name a few. There are supermarkets a short walk/drive from the cottage, 2 of which offer delivery services.
