"The cottage was very cosy and warm and welcoming. Anne, our host, could not have done more to welcome us. It’s a beautiful location, and would be fantastic in the summer with lovely weather."

Tip:
"We loved the Neolithic things to see- Maeshowe, the Standing Stones of Stenness, The Ring if Brodgar, and we especially loved Skara Brae. An unexpected pleasure was our visit to The Italian Chapel - very moving and stunningly beautiful."

We are so pleased that you were able to see and enjoy so much despite the stormy weather at the beginning of your stay. The World Heritage Neolithic sites near Annie's Place are indeed worth visiting and we have never known anyone not to be so positively affected by the Italian Chapel. Guests all comment on how cosy and welcoming Annie's Place is at any time of the year, and you are correct that it is a fantastic location.

Thank you again for another very positive review! We so appreciate that you love coming back to Annie’s Place again and again, including in the winter. We are looking forward to welcoming you again in the summer and seeing you and the children relaxing and enjoying everything Orkney and, especially Birsay, has to offer. We always recommend Birsay Bay Tearoom and Broch of Gurness so it's good to have your recommendations noted as well.

The location is great for coastal walks, big and small.
The accommodation is cozy. It has everything a daily life requires, in terms of kitchen utensils and dishes, hangers, towels, windows that can be locked if needed.... But even if you find there’s something missing all you have to do is ask.
Anne and Robin, who run Annie’s place, are lovely lovely lovely people and praiseworthy hosts.

I wouldn’t change a thing about my stay. Except, maybe buying much less food and wine. Being outdoors a lot I didn’t really feel like sitting around snacking and drinking, as I do out of boredom back in London.

Tip:
"Tesco delivery warning:
I did order Tesco delivery. It arrived on time, however About 40% of products were bad. Either mouldy, standing on its last leg, 1day until the end of its best-before or just changed. I agreed to have any product that are not available replaced, but they changed some of them without making it as a replacement.
Shameless, really. "

Thank you for your lovely comments about your holiday, Annie’s Place and ourselves as hosts. We want our guests to have as comfortable and relaxing time and as you found. We aim to ensure this by making Annie’s Place a “cosy neuk”, as well as helping out in any way we can. We so enjoyed knowing you were relaxing locally, as well as exploring the coastal walks further afield. And you did this without the need for a car, even walking as far as Yesnaby and Evie. We share your concerns about the Tesco delivery, especially the extremely poor quality of the fresh foods and inappropriate substitutes. I plan to take this up with the store on your behalf, especially as I do not wish future guests to have similar issues. I will let you know how Tesco responds.

We are delighted that you found so many positives during your stay at Annie’s Place.. Thank you for your very positive review and comments. It was great that even in an “off-season” time of year you were able to find plenty to see. It is true that there are no difficulties travelling around from Annie’s Place. Glad that your dog was able to enjoy all that Annie’s Place location has to offer....and of course that owners are able to enjoy the delights of Palace Stores and Birsay Bay Tearoom after doggie walks!
