Very helpful, friendly host.
House exactly as described.
Well equipped kitchen with a cute little radio on the windowsill.
About a 10-15 min walk to the centre of Kirkwall.
Beside a road but very quiet at night.
I wasn't keen on the various sounds made by the air-to-air heating but I think that's usual for that type of heating.

The location was good. It was about 10 minutes from Lidl and Tesco supermarkets and 15 minutes to the town centre.
It would have been nice to have a small garden and somewhere to sit out on the the light evenings. All around the house was gravel decorative stones and no garden furniture.

The location in Kirkwall was quiet and had easy access to the centre of Kirkwall. The private parking was easy to use and convenient. There was an efficient heating system and the kitchen was well enough stocked for us to be able to cook our own meals if we wanted to. Louise, the owner had left us some milk and food, which was very thoughtful and much appreciated.
Nothing. Personally I would have slept better with softer pillows, but that's a purely personal thing. Not everyone in our group felt the same!

Location was excellent close to downtown Kirkwall but on the outskirts of town, quiet, with safe parking, and easy access to the many amazing sights of Orkney. The house was very well appointed throughout with everything that one could possibly need.
There was absolutely nothing to complain about, thank you!

The cottage had been very thoughtfully kitted out for visitors and had everything we needed.
It was immaculate and very comfortable
It was a bit of a walk into the centre of Kirkwall for a visitor without a car
8.0 / 10.0
Location was on the outskirts of the town. But it was an easy walk to the town centre, and it was very easy to drive to destinations without entering centre.
Well laid out and comfortable house. Off street parking. Internet was very good. Finally, communication with Louise was excellent.
Beds are small for 2 people. Luckily there are 2 bedrooms. Bath towels could be larger.

Clean, well-equipped and comfortable. Good location on the edge of Kirkwall giving easy access to other parts of the island but just a short ten minute walk into Kirkwall itself. Two minute drive to supermarkets!

Everything we needed for our stay. Easy walking distance to the centre of Kirkwall, and access to roads across the island. Handy off-street parking.
Would have been helpful to know the bin dates so we could put them out for emptying.

Shower tray could have non slip mat.

We liked the proximity to the beach and the town center. The property was a super size for us, extremely clean and was the perfect base for exploring the Island with two young children. In addition, we liked that there was lots of storage in the house, perfect for storing our belongings to ensure we were well equipped for all four seasons in one day :)

The location was excellent. It was in Kirkwall but in a quiet area with parking at the door. The cottage was modern and clean. I liked having the keys in a locked box as we arrived late at night.
Not a complaint but a teapot would have been handy
