Orkney Retreats Kilnbarn Cottage STB5*

GrahamRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a wonderful week at Kilnbarn cottage. Jackie and Dave have created a very special and exceptionally comfortable and well equipped place on the stunning Sanday shoreline, which was beyond our expectations. The perfect place to stay and enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife, including an otter, that the beautiful island of Sanday has to offer. Our beardie Stormy loved the secure garden.

2-Bedroom Cottage on Island of Eday

RobertRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Great place Lets face it, Eday is not an island you visit on a whim or by accident. Total population is about 120 people, the community shop opens just a couple of hours, most days; plus it's a 90 minute ferry from the Orkney mainland, itself a ferry or flight from Scotland. But, when you get there this place makes it all worth while. The location and views are unmatched, it's well furnished, the heating is properly effective, the kitchen is very well equipped (lots of crockery, good quality saucepans and cooker, the knives are actually sharp (an AirB&B first for us); plus having 2 fridges is genius. The broadband is amazing too (we measured 400Mb) If you want nightlife (unless you count the short eared owls you can see through the window) forget it. If you want a completely peaceful stay on a beautiful island; go for it.

Rousay Cottage

FrankyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We absolutely loved our stay on Rousay and in Liz and Colin’s cottage. The cottage is beautifully renovated with everything we needed plus more. The views from all the windows were spectacular. Liz and Colin were super friendly and helpful, whilst respectful of our privacy within the grounds of their working farm. We loved seeing all their lambs up close! We had some great hikes and experiences despite mixed weather. We’d originally thought to visit the Orkney mainland while we were there but there’s so much of interest on Rousay that we easily filled our time. Just wish we could have stayed longer.

Castlehill, Sanday

StephenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We were looking for peace and quiet, beautiful surroundings and an opportunity to relax amongst the wonderful wildlife. Castlehill offered this in droves and we loved it; and host Tim could not have been more helpful land responsive, ensuring we were totally at home and comfortable. The views across the loch were gorgeous, changing in character across the day, and the nearby beach was both easily walkable as well as accessible by car - and wonderful. As you can tell, we aim to come back!
