9.0 / 10.0
Spacious, modern and very well equipped house. Magnificent view from the living room. We wanted for nothing and enjoyed our stay very much.
It´s a bit remote, but because it is right in the center of Mainland, all the sights and places to see are close by = ideal

The property is warm, spacious and very well equipped. It is in a quiet location with great views and yet in easy reach of Kirkwall and Stromness by car. The owners Robbie and Eileen were very welcoming and helpful. For those wanting peace and quiet it is a perfect place to use as a base to explore Orkney.

Eileen and Robbie were amazing hosts .
The cottages are well located for travelling across Orkney, including the islands. It's also fantastic for bird watching, and there are brown hares in the fields around the cottages.
The cottages are spotlessly clean and have everything you need to be extremely comfortable, and the welcome hamper with Orkney produce was excellent.
Would recommend for couples and families
Can't wait to go back.

This is hands down one of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in. It has everything you need in the kitchen, has supplies for cleaning and washing up, and has 2 clothes airers to dry clothes. It is really warm and comfortable and very spacious. The view from the cottage is absolutely stunning, and it is a great place to watch wildlife. We were really happy to see a hen harrier from the window, along with lots of other birds and a few hares too. It is a great location for travelling around the island. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly, and they left us a lovely hamper filled with local produce. This was our 3rd time visiting Orkney and was definitely the best!

Fantastic week at Cottiscarth cottages on Orkney
After a lovely warm welcome from Eileen and Robbie, we settled in to our cottage, we were in Kestrel. The cottage had absolutely everything you could possibly need to make you stay perfect. The underfloor heating was fantastic. The hamper of Orkney products and Orkney butter and cheese was a lovely idea. We loved watching the sheep and cows in the field behind the cottage, from the kitchen window,almost as much as they enjoyed watching us! There was also a brown hare living in the field and we saw a female hen harrier from the front window. Kirkwall and Stromness are 20 minutes away. A walk up to the RSPB bird hide is worth the walk. The Standing stones of Stenness, the Ring of Brodgar and Maeshow are only 15 minutes by car.
Cuween Chambered Hill cairn is 10 minutes drive, and fascinating, you have to crawl through the entrance to the main chamber and you'll need a torch.
The Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel are less than half an hour away.
Make sure you carry on to St. Margaret's Hope and call in to The Murray Arms, the food is delicious.
Will definitely be back to Orkney and would only consider staying at Cottiscarth cottages

Everything from the location which was pretty central to allow us to cover the main Island, to the fantastic hosts Robbie & Eileen, nothing was a bother to them, they even let us stay in the property until our late evening ferry
The only thing that was wrong was the fact we had to leave to travel to our next place on Shetland

Property was spacious and very comfortable with well equipped kitchen. Views out of the living room window were amazing, and you could see the cruise ships coming in and out of Kirkwall in the distance. We texted via phone to arrange arrival time and hosts met us at the property. They provided us with a number of grocery items which was much appreciated. We ran out of dishwasher tabs which they quickly replaced after a phone call. Accommodation was fairly remote, so a car really required. It was within walking distance to the Cottascarth RSBP reserve, which has the most amazing bird hide. Location makes many other RSPB reserves easily accessible via car. It doesn't take long to drive to any of the main visitor sites on the island so was a great base. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here again.

The hosts were beyond lovely. Great communication and genuine kindness shown.
The property itself is in a great location - off the main road, but close to everything. A fab place to stay which is family-friendly.
The only one tiny improvement we would make is to have a king-size bed instead of a double.

Spacious modern accommodation in an elevated location with panoramic views of the hills and sea. Very friendly welcoming hosts provided a good starter pack of provisions. Location on mainland allows easy access to the main attractions on Orkney.
Nothing except the one day of sea fog!

Beautifully equipped house with amazing views. Warm and comfortable.
Not a criticism but maybe blackout blinds would be helpful, potentially a mattress topper too, but we did have a great stay.
