Guest Reviews

• Lauren (10/5): - This property was excellently located although the map apps had a little trouble finding it. There was one issue during my stay but it was handled quickly and efficiently. To me, it’s not about if things happen (they will) but how they’re dealt with and so I’m very happy with my experience. Also the view was to die for. I even got to see a rainbow. It’s attached to their family home via a locked door so while I was never disturbed during my visit, I could very clearly hear their conversations in the kitchen and smell any food they cooked. They weren’t loud or rowdy, it just wasn’t as private as I expected. But as long as you know and expect that going in, it’s fine.
• Grace (10/5): - Very nice view from the kitchen. Very good I highly recommad That the time passes too quickly
• Armin (10/5): - Tolle Wohnung an perfekter Lage! Es hat alles was man braucht und ist gemütlich eingerichtet. Sofort wieder!
• Ashlyn (10/5): Beautiful home with great amenities ☺️ - The property was spacious, had good heating as we came just as it was getting cold, a super comfortable bed and really lovely hosts. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay for our trip. The property was a bit far for us as we were walking but the journey can be done and there is a bus (to skara brae, just press the stop button when you’re at the part you wish you stop) that stops not far from the home which was helpful also. Definitely recommend bringing a car but we knew it was a little bit out and we had no problem with that.
• Sylvia (10/5): Ich würde wiederkommen - James und Janet waren sehr nette Vermieter; eine eigene kleine Wohnung mit Küche (Mikrowelle, Herdplatten, Wasserkocher), sehr schön eingerichtet, tolle Aussicht auf Wasser und Insel Hoy.
• Alessandro (8/5): - Panorama intorno Casa Le Luci dei comodini guaste.
• Robert (9/5): Superb - Rooms are spacious. Everything is clean and spotless. The decorations are beautiful. The views on the fields and lake through the dining room cum kitchen are stunning. Best to have a car
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Janet, the hostess, was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Beautiful views from the property. No dislikes.
• Gill (10/5): Exceptional - When I first entered Kisumu, I loved that it provided not just the basic needs, but there was lovely art work and nice homely touches. It was very clean and in an amazing location with wonderful views. It had a peaceful feeling, which I really enjoyed. Janet and James were friendly and helpful. It was all good.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Magical, distressing complete and a great place to explore Orkney. - Great location, extremely helpful and accommodating hosts, quiet, and a stunning view whilst you’re having your morning cuppa or evening cocktail I did not read the description thoroughly to realize that it was an attached cottage. Turns out not to be an issue as I was concerned with sound travel. There was no problem and I was able to close the kitchen/living room door so that I didn’t bother the host.
• John (10/5): Exceptional - James and Janet are wonderful hosts and their self catering unit is the best we've found in the UK so far
• John (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, clean, warm, comfortable, well equipped. Ideal for one or two people. Quiet and peaceful rural setting, short walk or drive to town. Hosts were welcoming and friendly.
• Raphael (10/5): A Wonderful stay at Kisumu, thank you ! :) - The place was absolutely amazing ! A big bedroom, a nice living room / kitchen and a bathroom were in the house. The surroundings were really beautiful and quiet. The house was very cozy and decorated with great taste. I could also meet the host Janet (who's living in the house next door of the accommodation) and she was very very nice ! It is a bit tedious to go there on foot from Stromness and to find the place on your first go there, so I would rather recommend people with a car to stay there. Nonetheless, when you figure out the way, it is pretty nice to go there by walking because you use little paths through fields with farm animals, so it is quite pleasant (at night however it is quite difficult). Also, one quick indication : in the shower, the top button is reversed : eco is actually stop, stop is eco, high is cold and cold is high. But other than that, the place was absolutely lovely ! :)
• Daniel (10/5): Made our trip to Orkney brilliant - Location was great, host was very helpful to us

• Greg (8/5): Very comfortable. Welcoming host. Good value for money. Peaceful. -
• Panagiotis (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent appartment with fantastic view. Nice owner
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (9/5): Lovely hosts and the property was just what I was looking for! -
• Rosie (9/5): Superb -
• Nicholas (9/5): Superb - Superb views, well equipped
• Michael (10/5): Peaceful location and spacious apartment. - If you like to stay somewhere a little off the beaten track, to be woken by the sound of Oystercatchers and Curlews, with a wonderful view out over the Bay of Navershaw (complete with lighthouse - and on misty days a foghorn), then this is the place for you. The apartment is very well-appointed, with a large bedroom, sizeable kitchen/living room, and a convenient bathroom. I received a warm welcome from the hosts, but after that was left to get on with things myself, which I liked. A relatively short walk to the facilities in Stromness (take the short-cut, don't go by road!). A very enjoyable short stay.
• Pamela (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location, stunning views, comfortable, well equipped accommodation. Friendly, welcoming, responsive hosts. I thoroughly recommend this accommodation.
