    Cheap hotel in Orkney
    Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.7
    Exceptional - What previous guests thought, 39 reviews
    The house is perfect and an ideal location for all main Orkney attractions on the main island. We also loved the hot tub and the weather was great for most of the week. Plenty of space to chill and relax. Excellent space for a family of 6 and loved the living room upstairs. Very novel but works very well. Everything needed for a top notch self catering house. And the welcome pack was AMAZING! A fantastic touch by Sarah the host. Highly recommend.
