    Location was ideal for the ferry two mins away, only took 20 minutes to mainland Orkney. Lovely pub Murray Arms serving lots of fresh fish. The flat was cosy, warm and comfortable, had everything we needed for a 3 night stay.

    Perfect location for exploring Orkney and super wee cottage with everything supplied. It was a bit difficult to find -our satnav had difficulties to start off with. Only problem we found was finding an evening meal after 8pm after the ferry...
