We have to start this story in how we found this place; we were playing it by ear in booking accommodations while in Scotland, choosing to book each day depending on where we were. This was not a problem for the entire time, EXCEPT when we were on Orkney Island. We landed in Kirkwall just as a big event was... More

Margaret and Raymond are lovely, helpful people who make your stay very special. They let us help out feeding the lambs, offered great advice about where to eat and what to do, cooked... More

3 of us stayed in one of the new flats for 4 nights and it was great! Free wifi, flatscreen tv, big comfortable sofas, great views from the kitchen, diner, lounge area. Only a 10minute drive into Kirkwall, we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the owners were very friendly and informative. Will certainly go back!!

Foinhaven was our home on Orkney for four nights. Our hosts were gracious, welcoming, and so knowledgeable. We enjoyed our daily breakfasts in their cozy kitchen and learned so much from our conversations with them. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and clean. From its window, we could see Scapa Flow. Raymond, our host, gave us tips regarding places to visit... More
