Жилье для отпуска в г. Stromness Harbour

Of 60 or so places we have stayed at Airbnb, this has been the best Airbnb experience we’ve had! Given that this is a special trip (our honeymoon, which we had not mentioned before showing up) we feel very fortunate indeed! Stewart was an absolutely phenomenal host. So thoughtful and kind. But not imposing or ‘ever present’; just enough for a nice chat when we bump into one another out in the garden, and for some wonderful home-baked treats :) Stewart’s advice about getting last-minute tickets to Maeshowe (just a few minutes down the lane) was spot on and was the only reason we were able to visit. The place is really relaxed and quiet, a place to really unwind. It is a perfect base for exploring these wonderful islands, centrally located with all that’s needed just a 10 minute drive or a short bike ride away. We will certainly be back for an anniversary, as this place holds a special place in our hearts.

The Noddle is in a fantastic location, a short distance from the ferry and quite central on the island of Hoy & South Walls. There was only 2 of us and dogs, so it would be excellent for families & friends, but the space was great. Well equipped kitchen for cooking and baking, the lunch was bright, but the light in the conservatory was so good, comfortable day bed for relaxing, reading, drawing and soaking up the view. We took wood with us for the fire, but didn't use it as the house was lovely and warm. The garden was lovely, easy access to the burn and beach. walking distance to 'Emily's' tearoom, where we had an excellent dinner, great for special occasions (booking recommended), also walked to Scapa Flow visitor centre for lunch (quite basic). There's a lovely cafe at top end of Hoy, Beneath'ill, recommended if you are going to Rackwick - amazing beach. Been to Hoy a few times, loved our week at The Noddle. Tony was quick to respond to any queries. We'll be back.

Rachael's cottage is wonderful - we stayed six nights in the Spring and it was delightful. We especially appreciated some really nice welcoming touches such as some fresh flowers and chocolates for our arrival. We also appreciated the comprehensive heating system the cottage has - it was a little cold outside but we were always snug and warm inside the cottage. Rachael also has two wood burning fires with plenty of wood provided and even some coal as well. The kitchen is also very well equipped with a modern oven and cook top. All in all a lovely stay in a lovely cottage in an amazing area - stunning views and in the Spring, tons of tiny and cute lambs right outside the front door! We will happily come back!

We absolutely loved our stay, the cottage was everything we wanted and looked for. Evelyn is a fantastic host and provides an amazing cottage to stay in. Immaculate, peaceful and the best location, only a few minutes from Stromness. We will be back.

What a lovely stay we had at Hazel's house! It was spotlessly clean, with quality furnishings and so well equipped with everything one could hope to need for a very comfortable stay. Hazel was very responsive to queries and happy to help. Set in a quiet residential location which was around 15-20 mins uphill walk from town, the house has lovely views across Stromness and beyond. There is a private garden adjacent to the house that we enjoyed sitting in, and loads of space for car parking. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at Hazel's again and would recommend to anyone who values comfort and cleanliness.

Not too sure what to say about this stunning house, other than WOW WOW WOW!!! If you’re looking for the perfect base for a group or family getaway, look no further (I looked far and wide before stumbling over Keiss Harbour House and what a find!!!) From start to finish, Jill has been a fantastic host. The house was exactly as described and even better than expected! We were completely blown away. We visited Keiss as a surprise 40th birthday trip with my boyfriend and 8 of our friends. We all agreed that this is by far the best stay any of us have had. There was something for all of us, walking, to beach trips, the beautiful local town of Wick, kite surfing, diving, john o’groats, lots of delicious food. A Tesco 10 mins down the road meant we were able to make great use of the brilliantly stocked kitchen, the stew cooked in the huge slow cooker provided went down a treat after a blustery day! We aren’t ones to return to the same destination but will definitely be back!

Had a lovely stay. The house was excellent. sizeable bedrooms, a well stocked kitchen, 2 comfortable lounge areas, the bathroom was fabulous, I have shower envy. The view from the lounge, dining room and the main bedroom was stunning. 9 of us stayed and we didn't feel cramped at all. The hosts were responsive and kindly provided a welcoming box of cake. The visiting cat was an added bonus!

Wir haben leider nur 1 Nacht verbracht, das ist für dieses Tolle Hause und die schöne Gegend viel zu kurz. Insgesamt waren wir 6 Personen. Das Haus ist in einer sehr ruhigen Gegend, wenn einen die angrenzenden Schafe nicht stören :-). Wir haben uns in diesem toll ausgestatteten und schönen Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Begeistert hat uns das Grillhaus wo alles für ein tolles Barbecue am offen Grill sogar für Flammlachs vorbereitet war. Wir haben das Grillen und das Haus sehr genossen. Die Küche ist voll ausgestattet und das Haus sehr sauber, auch die Dusche war im Vergleich zu anderen Unterkünften ein Highlight. Ist eine super Unterkunft und wärmstens zu empfehlen. Schöne Grüsse Andreas
