Situated 28 km from Ring of Brogdar, 8.4 km from Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre, Burray and 27 km from Ness of Brogdar, Self catering. Maydene. Holm. Orkney, Scotland. Offers accommodation located in Nether Button. The air-conditioned accommodation is 25 km from Maeshowe, and guests can benefit from private parking available on site and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 26 km from Standing Stones of Stenness. This place is fantastic! It's a modern and cozy little burrow with a fantastic view overlooking the hills and sea, not far from Kirkwall and very close to the Italian Chapel and Churchill barriers. It's really all you could wish for as a temporary home to explore the beautiful Orkney islands. There is a fully equipped kitchen, a very comfortable bed, and a very spacious shower. The interior is held in modern Scandi design, and the apartment is super clean. Ellen is a wonderful host who even provided for some milk, bread, and butter, which was so nice! We came to Orkney from the Aberdeen ferry, so we arrived shortly before midnight, but the late check-in was no issue at all. Thank you, Ellen, for this wonderful experience. I can 100% recommend and would not book anywhere else!

It was a lovely quiet location and a comfortable room. The breakfast next morning was generous and fabulous.

Richard very easy to work with! Proximity to Archive Coffee (< a block)-so delicious!
