Home away from home, loved it!

Love this place - it's the home I would choose for myself. Beautifully and tastefully decorated throughout, the bedrooms were large and spacious, as was every room. Instructions for arrival were perfect, keys easy to access. Parking right outside. The host has thought of everything and we felt at home there and if we are ever in Orkney again, we'd book here.

Nothing, it was all just perfect, thank you!

Great visit to Orkney, lovely place.

Lovely cottage, in an excellent location. Very easy to get all over the mainland. Great walk down to the beach, which is lovely on a low tide. Comfortable lounge with lots of seating, bedrooms very nice. The shower room is good, with lots of hot water. And a well equipped kitchen. The log burner was most welcome, as it was a tad damp outside most days!!

The only real downside is 1 bathroom / loo, but I knew that when I booked. Shame the dishwasher was not working, but we washed up!!

Lovely house in a fantastic location

Everything - the house is well equipped, spacious, and in a fantastic location, quiet but within easy reach of both Kirkwall and Stromness. Also very well placed for visiting loads of historical sites and nature reserves (you can walk to Waukmill Bay, photo 2, directly from the house with the owner's permission - walking boots or wellies recommended as it's a bit marshy). Lucky enough to get a rainbow as we left.☺️

August fishing stay

The location was ideal for our group facilities were great and the parking off-road was a bonus. Close to one of the lochs to fish was an added bonus for our group.

Shower facilities were spot on, but 6 adults and one shower was a bit of a logistics problem, but we all managed (luckily)

Great wee cottage which was very comfortable and in a nice quiet spot

Comfortable and plenty of room for our party of 3 couples. Clean and Decor was nice. Jigsaw and cards for pastime.

The cooker - I couldn’t get to grips with finding the right heat setting. I’m used to gas which is far more responsive.

A comfortable stay in a spacious, well-equipped property

The location was good, with walks nearby and easy access to the rest of the island by car, as well as by bus. The property was well-equipped, attractive and spacious property.

There was no file giving instructions/information about the property and nearby amenities, etc.

Great place to explore the Orkney Islands

We had a great stay! The central location, near the Neolithic heart of Orkney and Kirkwall, is superb! Allowing you to travel in all directions/islands easily. Has all the facilities you need, and all seems really new, decent and clean. Some great views from the house too, e.g. the bay and the hills (note that the right side of the cottage is surrounded by the farm). Greatest trait: the sheeps that graze around the cottage, even at the kitchen window!

None. If I have to mention something, the bathroom gets really humid/damp soon, it could use some extra ventilation. For the rest, all good!

Thoroughly recommend Kirbister Mill Farm Cottage.

Spacious, modern and clean. Very conveniently located between Stromness and Kirkwall, on the main island of the Orkneys. A working sheep farm, and the sheep would walk around the back and eat the grass outside the kitchen window. 😀👍

It did rain every day, but hardly the fault of Emma and Sean.

Superb

Loved the views from the windows.

Would have liked some chairs for outside.

Easy access to all the history Orkney mainland has to offer from a comfy countryside cottage.

An out of town location that gave us easy access in all directions. Comfy beds, big kitchen space for self catering and a large comfortable lounge room.

We liked everything.

Exceptional

Amazing house, between farm and old stone mill, otherwise surrounded by pasture. Perfect heating for all rooms is available - good for Orkneys weather. The apartment is between Stromness and Kirkwall (closer to latter). Beautiful sandy beach can be reached by 30 minutes walk along a path just across the road. Pet/dog friendly!

Lucy & Jacks first trip to Orkney

Loved the size of house and garden lots of room for everyone. Location fabulous for everything I would recommend this place. Perfect

Only 1 table in living room so it was far away for everyone when having like tea/ or drink etc. Could do with a wee nest if tables. & Couple of side lamps instead of just the big light. Would be handy in the kids room to have black out curtains. Wee bench or table & chairs would be lovely outside.

A nice homely cottage, we had a very enjoyable stay

Very well equipped, excellent attention to detail especially in the kitchen. The tupperware boxes were a nice touch, very handy as we forgot to bring lunchboxes. The Orcadian fudge on arrival made it feel welcoming, and the cooking supplies (salt, pepper, oil etc) were better than we expected. There was fresh kitchen roll and cleaning sponges. The whole house was very clean and well presented. The general impression was of a host who really cares about giving a comfortable and welcoming stay. The heating in the main part of the house was good and the bed was warm and comfortable. The location next to Waulkmill Bay is excellent. It is convenient for both Kirkwall and Stromness, nice and quiet, with good views over Scapa Flow and a nice walk down to the beach. The garden is well tended and very pleasant. The host was very helpful when we got in touch.

Frustratingly, the dishwasher kept tripping the circuit breaker (the RCD in the workshop) so we ended up washing up by hand. The bathroom got rather cold during the snowy weather and could have done with some more heating. The kitchen cutlery with the plastic handles wasn't very sturdy and we ended up breaking a knife and a fork (sorry).

Temporary loss of WIFI

3.0 / 10.0

A nice property. electrics need sorting out. WiFi needs to be provided. twin bedroom heating needs to be addressed.

this property is in a good location. close to the towns and all the sites that we wanted to see. The house is clean and comfortable and well equipped. the rooms are large and the kitchen has everything needed for a holiday stay. the garden is very pretty. plenty of parking space. it is lovely and quiet and very close to a super beach. nice comfy sofas and beds. It is furnished to a high standard.

There is no WiFi at the house. it has good thick walls which do not make for good phone 4g signals. the twin room is on a different side of the property to the other rooms. it has no heating. a small electric heater was provided in order to warm this room. there was a problem with the electrics which meant the heater did not work. so this was a very cold room. even if the sockets worked I am not sure that the heater provided would heat this room to a comfortable temperature. No instruction book on how to work the hot air blower heating system. Instructions found on line were complicated. a “how to “ easy instruction guide would have been helpful.

First trip to orkney

The location was excellent for us. We had our dog with us so having the garden was great. Short drive from all amenities. Neighbours were polite and helpful at pointing out some enclosed bits we could walk our dog too. There was 4 of us staying and plenty room for us. Beds were very comfortable.
