I would like to suggest a few things recycling bins a larger smart tv for the living room as almost all travellers have smartphone which they could stream to the tv with there days events of photos taken round the island and plus if you have a smart tv you have little chance of loosing signal when the weather is bad and the other thing I would suggest is moving the bedroom arrangement around ie double bed into where the two twin beds are but other that it is excellent cottage cottage and would highly recommend

The cottage is very well placed for Stromness, trips to the main historic sites, and isn't far from Kirkwall, Birsay and anywhere else on the island.

Really great location, quiet, cozy cottage. Owner was very friendly and offered an early check-in to accommodate our late ferry arrival. Would highly recommend - great value.

Great cottage has everything youll need,used it so we could cycle around the island and found the location ideal,only 15min walk to centre of Stromness a the co-op is closer also the swimming pool, buses to Kirkwall from swimming pool every hour and only £2 for the wet day
