Holiday rentals with breakfast in Orkney

We had a wonderful stay at Amanda's! The location is wonderfully central - the entire main island is within max 25 minutes drive - from Kirkwall and Stromness and even Birsay. The house is in the countryside, and is new, modern and utterly spotless. We had the run of the whole upstairs, so 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and our own huge living room with sofas, huge TV and the most enormous room-width picture window looking over the countryside and lakes. Just gorgeous. The rooms are beautifully furnished, and did I already say immaculate?! The very friendly Amanda and her husband were usually around or always a phone or text away, but we mostly had the run of the kitchen downstairs too, and they even laid on refreshments, and all sorts of breakfast cereals, fruit etc. We didn't expect that! We got local restaurant and sightseeing recommendations, and lovely seats when Amanda and husband were around. A perfect base for an Orkney holiday. Best AirBnB we've ever stayed in.

Malcolm is an absolute star. This is the first time I have been provided breakfast at an air B&B and the breakfast was above and beyond. Great facilities in a quirky old house run as hostel style. And a great host who was good company and did all he could to make sure our stay was a good one.

We loved the stunning views from Mara Lodge. The room is beautiful and comfortable. It’s an easy drive to the Neolithic sites or to Kirkwall. We so enjoyed our stay!

Lovely friendly couple who are responsive chatty, considerate and friendly without being intrusive. :lovely brief visit from the resident cat (which I loved but they will keep out of te way if allergic or afraid. Short 10 minute walk to te centre of town wit is relatively flat. I managed easily and I'm not the fittest person on earth. Excellent recommendations given. Overall a lovely space to retreat to after a busy day wit a friendly couple will definitely be going back there in te future. Thanks Ian and Fiona

A kind, hospitable and flexible host. I accidentally booked my accommodation on the wrong day, only realising during my travels. Malcolm very generously let me change the booking. I arrived on the late night ferry, too, and had clear instructions of how to get in and find my room, with the keys left in the door. The kitchen and dining facilities are great and it was a comfortable bed. Thank you so much!

I had an amazing stay with Ian & Fiona, they had lots of welcoming goodies like local fudge & and Orkney cheese (which I devoured it, was so delicious) as well as a mini breakfast spread of cereals (hot & cold) toast, coffee, tea etc. But what really stood out was how generous and helpful they were for my visit. The weather was rough (I came in winter...) and the bus shut down in the morning for wind and Ian offered to take me out to see the Standing Stones himself so I wouldn't miss them! (which meant I got a bonus local tour guide!) Highly recommend, they were so kind, cats were precious and Fiona makes really cute Puffin print bags available for purchase!

Anushka’s place was amazing! This 2-floor stay was extremely spacious with a wonderfully modern bathroom, cozy living room, comfy bedrooms, and a fully stocked kitchen. The location was perfect. You could easily drive around the islands and explore historic sites during the day but still make it back to walk around the main street in Kirkwall to grab dinner. (We were celebrating a birthday so we walked to grab drinks and dinner at Twenty One, highly recommend if you’re looking for a hip and fun atmosphere with great food!) There are lots of shops, restaurants, and cafes within walking distance. Anushka was an extremely responsive and helpful host. Thanks for having us!

Very friendly, welcoming super hosts with very well appointed accommodation with everything we needed. The location is superb, especially for touring Orkney with everything easily accessible. The hosts are very knowledgeable with great recommendations. Highly recommended.

Deborah was a lovely and friendly host who made us feel very welcome. Her home was spotless and well located for exploring Orkney. We would definitely recommend her to others.

Very comfortable stay in spacious accommodation, handy for walking or cycling to the village. Hosts were very friendly and helpful - the lift to the airport was much appreciated. Breakfast was great and set us up for the day.
