First trip to the Orkneys

The place was ideally located to the Neolithic sites, historical sites, Highland Park Distillery, and Restaurants! It was a great place to stay and strong wifi.

Fabulous

This property was everything we expected and more. Centrally located, spacious, comfortable, immaculately clean, well equipped with convenient on-site parking. We loved our stay in Orkney, due in very large part to having Castleyards to return to after a day out exploring the many wonders the Mainland island has to offer. Fabulous!

Great apartment in good location with parking!

All the basics were there and we appreciated two bedrooms and the washer. There was a drying rack as well. Instant hot water in the shower was nice. Parking was much appreciated; a little tricky in our space, but it was fine. Walking to all the town sites and waterfront was within just a few blocks. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks for the great communication before and during.
