Holiday rentals in Pierowall

Of 60 or so places we have stayed at Airbnb, this has been the best Airbnb experience we’ve had! Given that this is a special trip (our honeymoon, which we had not mentioned before showing up) we feel very fortunate indeed! Stewart was an absolutely phenomenal host. So thoughtful and kind. But not imposing or ‘ever present’; just enough for a nice chat when we bump into one another out in the garden, and for some wonderful home-baked treats :) Stewart’s advice about getting last-minute tickets to Maeshowe (just a few minutes down the lane) was spot on and was the only reason we were able to visit. The place is really relaxed and quiet, a place to really unwind. It is a perfect base for exploring these wonderful islands, centrally located with all that’s needed just a 10 minute drive or a short bike ride away. We will certainly be back for an anniversary, as this place holds a special place in our hearts.

The Noddle is in a fantastic location, a short distance from the ferry and quite central on the island of Hoy & South Walls. There was only 2 of us and dogs, so it would be excellent for families & friends, but the space was great. Well equipped kitchen for cooking and baking, the lunch was bright, but the light in the conservatory was so good, comfortable day bed for relaxing, reading, drawing and soaking up the view. We took wood with us for the fire, but didn't use it as the house was lovely and warm. The garden was lovely, easy access to the burn and beach. walking distance to 'Emily's' tearoom, where we had an excellent dinner, great for special occasions (booking recommended), also walked to Scapa Flow visitor centre for lunch (quite basic). There's a lovely cafe at top end of Hoy, Beneath'ill, recommended if you are going to Rackwick - amazing beach. Been to Hoy a few times, loved our week at The Noddle. Tony was quick to respond to any queries. We'll be back.

We absolutely loved our stay, the cottage was everything we wanted and looked for. Evelyn is a fantastic host and provides an amazing cottage to stay in. Immaculate, peaceful and the best location, only a few minutes from Stromness. We will be back.

We absolutely loved our two day stay at Martin’s house. We had everything we needed and felt very welcome. Martin is a warm and friendly person who went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The house provides in everything that is needed for your holiday. Ample parking nearby and simply put a beautiful house. We went to Orkney by ferry and explored the surrounding area, which is amazing. Plenty of large supermarkets nearby by car. We would love to be able to come back one time.

What a lovely stay we had at Hazel's house! It was spotlessly clean, with quality furnishings and so well equipped with everything one could hope to need for a very comfortable stay. Hazel was very responsive to queries and happy to help. Set in a quiet residential location which was around 15-20 mins uphill walk from town, the house has lovely views across Stromness and beyond. There is a private garden adjacent to the house that we enjoyed sitting in, and loads of space for car parking. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at Hazel's again and would recommend to anyone who values comfort and cleanliness.

Comfort in the country! Lovely stay. Right in the heart of the Neolithic sites - so close to all of them. You wake up surrounded by fields & birds (and chickens) yet it is also the best-equipped house we've ever stayed in! The kitchen is so light & airy, with a comforting rustic Aga, but it's kitted-out with the poshest gadgets - cappuccino-maker, air fryer, large ice-maker etc. And a cupboard full of goodies. Even an electric blanket in the bedroom! Bookshelves are filled with guides and books on birds ... there was also our own personal itinerary, describing everything that was going on during our week. Thank you for it all.

Not too sure what to say about this stunning house, other than WOW WOW WOW!!! If you’re looking for the perfect base for a group or family getaway, look no further (I looked far and wide before stumbling over Keiss Harbour House and what a find!!!) From start to finish, Jill has been a fantastic host. The house was exactly as described and even better than expected! We were completely blown away. We visited Keiss as a surprise 40th birthday trip with my boyfriend and 8 of our friends. We all agreed that this is by far the best stay any of us have had. There was something for all of us, walking, to beach trips, the beautiful local town of Wick, kite surfing, diving, john o’groats, lots of delicious food. A Tesco 10 mins down the road meant we were able to make great use of the brilliantly stocked kitchen, the stew cooked in the huge slow cooker provided went down a treat after a blustery day! We aren’t ones to return to the same destination but will definitely be back!

I've really enjoyed Deborah's stay. The place is really clean and quiet but unfortunately I stayed only 1 night. For sure will book again here as I've really liked to setting & location. Thank you for having me!
