Guest Reviews

• Charlie (10/5): All good would recommend -
• EDUARDO (10/5): - Oh My God ...this cottage was just perfect. It was in simple words a little piece of Heaven on Earth. No pictures or words can describe this place ...only the experience of just being there. I will carry this beautiful experience as a treasure to my grave. The 1st photo is Sunrise at Taftnica Absolutely nothing to complain about
• Carl (10/5): Wonderful stay and can’t wait to return. The views were fantastic and so a great location.to explore from. No complaints - Amazing views. All the comforts of home No placemats for the kitchen table. Otherwise Perfect.
• andrew (10/5): - Everything about the cottage, very comfortable and clean
• Marian (7/5): Cleanliness, facilities, view over sea/ land from house/garden, all 5 stars. Difficult track reduces - Excellent location. Quiet, view of sea, but only about 3 minutes drive from main road to Kirkwall (20 minutes) Handy for interesting places in south islands. Garden to sit out (although no furniture as of July 2025). Very clean (our special request managed well), new bathrooms/ kitchen. Comfy beds. Internet access. As of July 2025, the one, quite big, disadvantage of this property is the access drive. Okay with SUVs but the track centre is very high and you risk scraping the car underside. 2009 Polo was fine - quite good clearance and short wheel base - when driven offset (one wheel on the middle and one side on the track edge). My friend's Peugeot twice scraped on underside. Parked it in nearby Burray and only used the Polo. Shame as it's an excellent property.
• Anonymous (10/5): A Great View of the Sea - I don't think the photos did the place justice, a great view out to sea over paddocks from the bedrooms, kitchen and lounge. Very peaceful.
• Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Perfect for our needs - Perfect location for a quiet retreat.
• Nikki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eleanor (7/5): A comfortable place to stay, in a beautiful place; shame about the WiFi. - Generally well equipped, warm and comfortable. Amazing views. The check-in directions mention the stones track, but not that it has a build up of stones in the middle, making it difficult to drive down without scraping the bottom of the car. No oven gloves or tea towels - nothing to protect hands when using the oven. The WiFi was not working. The host knew it wasn’t working and did not let us know in advance. This was annoying given that we had expected to have internet access and used up a lot of mobile data because it wasn’t available. If my mobile had not got a decent signal, we would have been uncontactable.
