    Very helpful host. Located close to the ferry terminal. The apartment was extremely clean and well equipped. Felt more like being in your own home than being on vacation. Would definitely stay there again.

Welcome to Stromness Apartments, Orkney.... Nestling behind Brinkies Brae you’ll find Stromness Apartments, three purpose built self catering apartments on the quiet croft of Milldam.

Hey I'm Alexander, I'm 26 years old and look forward to welcoming you Stromness Apartments, The apartments are a result of a barn conversion on my Granny & Grandad's croft of Milldam, where my Mum was born and brought up. You'll be welcome to walk around the old farm and enjoy the surrounding land and trees that my Grandad and Dad planted (they are not very common in Orkney we like to brag about them!). I really hope you can come and enjoy everything Stromness Apartments has to offer. Alexander :-)
