Excellent location with spectacular views of the stones and the loch. Road can get busy with tour buses but only for a few hours every day. Very well equipped cottage especially the kitchen and bathrooms. Everything you need to be self sufficient for an extended stay. Lounge does need an extra comfortable chair for a fourth adult but plenty of chairs around the dining table. Fabulous welcome from the host Shaun. Would definitely stay again.

Reverse into the parking space. This makes driving away safer as restricted view of the road. Early morning walk to the Ring of Brodgar avoids the crowds and affords great views of the sunrise. If you intend to visit some of the historic sites check websites as some require booking in advance with no walk in visitors. If you are an English Heritage member bring your card as this will give you free entry to several sites.

The cottage was perfect for us - 3 adults and 1 child. It had everything we needed and more, well equipped, clean and tidy. The views outside are incredible over the Ring of Brodgar and Harray Loch. The beds were comfortable, spacious bathrooms, and the cosy kitchen/living space was nice to spend the evening in. Shawn was very helpful from booking and throughout our stay, offering advice and useful tips about places to visit. I'd definitely recommend this cottage to others looking for accommodation in Orkney. Thank you!

Great location for travelling around the island. Very peaceful. We even saw an otter feeding in Harray Loch the morning we left!

A fantastic location between the ring of Brodgar and the stones of Stenness. With the Loch of Steness and Loch Harray on each side, convenient for great fishing. Also having Hen Harriers, Glaucous Gulls and Great Skuas flying over, Red Throated Divers on the loch (and even a Black Swan nearby for variety).

Very comfortable. Easy reach for Kirkwall and Stromess. Friendly and helpful landlord. A great base for exploring Orkney. We will certainly be returning again.

A lovely cosy cottage with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were really comfortable and the owner met us on arrival and was very informative. The situation is outstanding with beautiful views of the loch and the Ring of Brodger. It was also perfectly placed for visiting the many incredible sites in Orkney mainland. We highly recommend it.

Apart from on arrival, it's better to park on the grass next to the cottage as cars drive fast on the road.
