Featuring sea views, Lilly's Lodges Orkney Butterfly Lodge offers accommodation with a terrace and a balcony, around 10 km from Standing Stones of Stenness. Located 8.7 km from Maeshowe, the property provides a garden and free private parking.

The lodge is equipped with a flat-screen TV. The kitchen comes with a fridge, an oven and a microwave and there is shower with free toiletries and a hairdryer. Everything was perfect! Such a cozy place among farm land. I loved hearing the sheep while having a coffee in the morning with my book. There is a mini fridge with a freezer! so I was able to buy some ice cream and store it for later, the bathroom has towel warmers, and the shower is spacious. I needed help with the shower on my first day and in less than 5 minutes Graham came in and helped me. We also chatted a bit about his travels. What a wonderful time!

The 2-bedroom apartment features a living room with a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher and oven, and 2 bathrooms with walk-in shower. Towels and bed linen are available in the apartment. For added privacy, the accommodation has a private entrance and soundproofing. I gave this property 5 stars because there was nothing to dislike. Very nicely decorated and well equipped little house right in the center of Kirkwall that felt like a home from home. I had my choice of the two bedrooms and opted for the back bedroom which was wonderfully quiet with a comfy bed and choice of pillows. The welcome basket was very generous and the price for two nights was very reasonable. It is surrounded by shops and coffee places. I fully recommend this to anyone as a great option to a hotel.

Housed in a building dating from 1985, this guest house is 15 km from Maeshowe and 15 km from Standing Stones of Stenness. The guest house has family rooms. Runa Guesthouse is a fantastic place. It is spacious, well maintained and clean. It is a very well equipped room and the facilities work perfectly.. Great views over rural land, and Hoy’s mountains at the distance. Ideal for visiting all the attractions of Mainland. We stayed there for three nights, and the location allowed us to drive all over the mainland and towns. For a longer trip we will possibly repeat. The host was very nice and discreet. He was very polite and helped us with everything we asked him for.
