Absolutely nothing, perfect accommodation for our trip to Orkney

This holiday accommodation far exceeded our expectations, everything has been thought. Hosts very helpful and friendly. Lovely flowers pots around the property. The views are stunning, we were so lucky with the weather which was a huge bonus. We will definitely be back to this property.

Nothing.

A lovely home from home. Everything you need is here and we received such a lovely welcome from Frances. She gave really useful advice about the sights and history of Orkney which really helped us to make the most of this wonderful island. 100% recommend. Thank-you.

Incredibly well furnished and equipped for a holiday cottage - far better than the bare minimum you can get with some. Beautiful location with scenic view across the water.

There is nothing to not like

The cottage has been renovated beautifully. It is cosy and comfortable. It's location is also ideal for visiting the whole of the mainland. Plus the view across the bay is fantastic.

Probably should have bought groceries in Kirkwall before arriving at property but it is only 15/20 minute drive. Local shop 5 minute drive quite well supplied for basics. This wasn’t really a problem with property more being organised beforehand.

Comfortable, clean & very well equipped. Owners were really helpful, suggested some places to visit we didn’t know about. Great view from the front of the property.

Nothing, everything was perfect

Lovely hosts, very friendly and helpful with local attractions, the even had road maps for hirers to borrow. The cottage was beautifully presented with quality furnishings, fully equipped kitchen, great WiFi and a TV in each room. The washer, dryer and dishwasher were welcomed as well as the tasty locally produced treats left for us to enjoy.

Not so much issues as things to be aware of/feedback. The garden area isn't completely fenced off so dogs need to be kept on lead. I wasn't clear on what bin was what or how the recycling worked and so some guidance on this would be helpful but again, not really an issue.

I can't rate this place highly enough. It has everything you need to feel right at home. The king room can be made into twins if you ask. There's a tv in nearly every room with Netflix if you have an account. There's games and books. The kitchen is better stocked than my own. The views are stunning, the beds comfortable and it's the perfect location to explore orkney from. Very central. The hosts are lovely and even allowed us to check in a little early. There was tea/coffee facilities and milk in the fridge along with some orkney snacks. It is also so quiet you only hear the sheep behind the cottage.

The location was perfect. The house was very clean and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. It was dog friendly and the view was lovely.

We found the Micro fibre sheets on the beds most unpleasant to sleep in

This unassuming little cottage up a hill, is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed. It was cosy comfortable, larger on the inside than the outside. Our welcoming hosts were helpful and very kindly gave us some dinner recommendations. Which were excellent. We’re looking forward to coming back to stay again in the future!

Very difficult to find anything we didn’t like about Binnaquoy. A little bit difficult to find, perhaps! A sign at the end of the road up to the cottage would be helpful, but otherwise we thought the accommodation was excellent.

Great location with beautiful views. Very homely feel to cottage, warm and comfortable. Extremely well equipped kitchen. Beautiful linen. Excellent hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Excellent local knowledge which helped us plan our week. Location of the house made it easy to explore the mainland. Unfortunately we couldn’t book ferries to explore other islands, but there was more than enough to do on the mainland.
