Quite tricky to locate initially, but only initially

We'd completely misunderstood how far the walk was into and how uphill coming back from Stromness, and as we were without a vehicle of our own it did add extra planning to our visit. But our hosts instantly provided us with the only taxi driver's number in the town - a great start.

The views really are hypnotic, it's quite hard to tear yourself away. It is a proper walk into Stromness and the hills are steep on the return, but Stromness is a captivating town to explore. The house was all pristine and very spacious. I think I have shower envy - water pressure was a treat! Oh, and some beautiful local produce was there to welcome us.

A stunning new house, 5 minutes drive from Stromness. The house has everything you could imagine. The hosts are especially generous. Very clean and comfortable.

What an amazing place! Lovely and very comfortable and well equipped house with three large bedrooms. The views over the water from the upstairs living room were spectacular. Location was great as a base for seeing the island. We hired a car and everywhere was an easy distance. Easy to walk the 25 mins down into Stromness for dinner (and taxi back!). We ended up staying more time here than we expected to make the most of the property! There was a very generous welcome package and the place was spotless. Lots of thoughtful touches and supplies. You don’t need to bring those extra dishwasher or washing machine tablets! Liked all the eco products too. Very friendly and responsive owners. We booked quite late and were lucky it was new on the market but I imagine this will be fully booked in no time. Highly recommend!

We had trouble understanding the heating for a while, and my friend got cold. We didn't realise it was actually off. Sorted it in the end. But then we are older and not so tech savvy.

The location is wonderful. The upstairs living room is such a dream. Such outstanding views so that we spent a lot of time in there. The house is very clean and comfortable with great facilities.

We had the most wonderful stay in a beautifully presented and really well equipped house with lovely views. The hosts were extremely friendly and unfailingly helpful. We enjoyed visiting many archaeological sites but also loved returning to Switha at the end of the day. Very highly recommended.

Absolutely beautiful house, has everything you could want and more for a few days stay. The views are stunning and hosts were very responsive to messages and giving information that was needed. We were all so comfortable during our stay and it was a peaceful haven̈ during our busy work trip!

Everything ! The welcome package (the huge bottle of Prosecco, fresh eggs, chocolate lollipops for the children for Easter, bread etc..) was amazing. The house is so comfortable. Everything is new and working. The view is outstanding and this stay was the beat part of our holidays in the Highlands. I just want to go again !

The house is beautiful and has the most amazing views from the upstairs living room. We were a group of 5 and had everything we needed, definitely a home from home. A perfect base to explore Orkney. We all had an amazing time and would highly recommend this property as the hosts are lovely and very responsive.

A beautiful property in a lovely location. It was a good base to travel around the islands and relax in the evenings. Wonderful sea views from upstairs living room, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and immaculately clean. Welcoming owners and helpful pre stay information.

Wish we could have stayed longer!

Exceptionally clean property, decorated to a very high standard throughout! Stunning views from the upstairs living room. A very relaxing break, and a great location with walks right on your doorstep. Lots of nice touches on our arrival made our stay very comfortable. Everything you need, from coffee, dishwasher tablets, cleaning products, and even toothbrushes & hair bobbles etc for emergencies! They've really thought of everything! Great host, great stay! We'll be back!
