Everything was prepared in a perfect way, a nice and new build room with all details for a comfortable stay, nearby to the city and in walking distance to Highland Park destillery. we enjoyed the light options for the night and the bathroom, this is as you like it at home. a nice breakfast, fresh fruit, tea and coffee as we prefer it, we enjoyed our whole stay very much, Thank you

Everything was perfect !! The location was a short drive from Kirkwall which meant we had the opportunity to visit some of the smaller villages enroute. Teresa and Malcolm, our hosts, welcomed us into their home and gave us many insightful tips about Orkney that made our trip run more smoothly. The breakfast was fresh and delicious each day and the room was generous in size with quality inclusions and a most incredible view! We most certainly recommend this accommodation for visitors to Orkney !!

A great location on the edge of Pierowall, the main village on Westray. A traditional cottage, furnished traditionally with some mod cons, but don’t expect a modern luxury house. Lovely big comfortable queen size bed. Dog friendly with a yard, garden area straight outside the back door. 10 minute walk to the hotel pub/restaurant, which does excellent and inexpensive food, dogs allowed in the back bar. Food stores 3 minutes walk away.

Self catering. We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Shona had left us a welcome tray and milk and eggs as well as fresh flowers. The cottage was very cosy and well furnished. It contained everything we needed. We have rented holiday cottages often in the past and Bachylis is one that we particularly enjoyed. . .

Great location in the largest village of the island, Pierowall: one can reach all the main destinations in Sanday in a matter of a few tens of minutes. Room with a fantastic view on the bay and the seals resting on the beach at low tide. Jerry is an intresting person, with a lot of interests and hobbies. Enough to say that he is the author of all the pictures hung in the B&B. take a few time to examine them. Excellent eggs and local smoked salmon! Room was ample and cozy with a large bathroom.

This holiday home is perfectly located in the centre of town. It's very comfortable and provided us everything we needed for a most enjoyable stay. There was even a very nice garden to sit in during the long evenings. Though we never met anyone, the service was excellent.

The Castleyards apartments are right in the heart of the village within walking distance to all the sights plus restaurants and grocery stores, etc. The apartment is compact but contains everything you need to enjoy your stay. The shower was a decent size and had excellent water pressure. The owners were responsive to questions.
