It is a delightful place, homey, comfortable, clean, loved the artwork and extra touches. It is located very close to heart of the city so we could walk most places. It is a perfect place to stay and take day trips to the amazing neolithic sites on Orkney. We were lucky to meet our hosts who were lovely and gave us all sorts of tips about Kirkwall and places to see.

Good location. Spacious and spotless with well equipped kitchen. Host was very helpful when I had some trouble with location. Once settled, we realized how well situated we were to town centre, grocery stores and restaurants. I would highly recommend this accommodation. The space would be especially appreciated for long stays.

    Besides the unpredictable weather, Orkney offers a magical environment with something to interest everyone - including history, archaeology, wildlife, fishing, walking, beautiful beaches and other landscapes. Kirkwall and Stromness are exceptional for sightseeing and Orcadians are so friendly and genuine.

    We stayed for three nights after eleven on Shetland.

    We stayed for three nights after eleven on Shetland. We found great gluten free eating options in Kirkwall (I will review on Find me Gluten Free). We arrived very late on Friday. Saturday we spent in the many museums, historic buildings, galleries and shops of Kirkwall. We did one day trip by bus and ferryl to the excellent Sccapa Flow museum. Unfortunately the only day we had to do this was Sunday, when the buses are infrequent, so we had to spend most of the day at Scarpa Flow. On the monday, we were on the late night ferry to Aberdeen, and could not stay or leave our luggage in the apartment. So we hired a car - and visited the prehistoric monuments and the museum in Stromness before spending some at Scapa Beach. We ate in The Storehouse restaurant, which was really hospitable and the food was amazing, then getting a taxi to the ferry termina. We had visited a couple of islands in Orkney before, but this was our first time in these parts - we will bve back!

    Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology. Mellow people. Decent public transportation on Mainland. Long, rich history. Beautiful place. Good charity shops and much locally made jewelry. Welcoming services at the cathedral and the Catholic Church. Good restaurants, but suggest you make reservations in advance.

    The Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel are wonderful and full of fascinating wartime history. Maeshowe was a great visit with the commentary from our guide full of humour and interest. Ring of Brodgar and Stenness - atmospheric - as was Skara Brae. The St Magnus Cafe in Kirkwall is a great, casual eating place and the Ayre Hotel for something more formal - both with very good food.

    These lodges are of such a high standard. Larger than any others we have stayed in before. Cleanliness was exceptional. Small extra touches as local bread, cheese, butter provided was lovely. The owners are so welcoming and attentive to any needs. If you’re ever staying in Orkney this would be the accommodation to go to. On top of that the sea view from the lodges and over Kirkwall is great. Overall could not fault one bit and will definitely be back. Thank you Dorothy and Andy

    What a brilliant place to stay whilst visiting the Orkneys. Our room was spacious and well decked out with everything you need for a stay. The bed was comfortable and bathroom spotless. Hot breakfast to order upstairs in the dining room made by the lovely Alice. Thank you so much for being so helpful and informative in our emails to you….
