Withi-gill - Bay of Ireland Views 50m From Beach

10/10 Excellent
"WHAT A FIND! When I was first looking for somewhere to stay in Stromness I have to admit that I was quite disappointed not to be able to find anywhere overlooking the harbour. Then I saw 'Withy Gill' listed on the website and booked for a 4 night stay in August. Having now had our holiday and wandered round Orkney and Stromness, how glad am I that I found it ! Simon the host contacted us a few times before our trip and always responded to any queries we had. The cottage itself is great, exactly as the description with lovely views over to the Hills of Hoy. The interior was immaculate and the furniture looks brand new, it is warm, cosy and somewhere I could quite happily live in with everything you need (including little extras like a welcome pack, the binoculars in the kitchen, games, reading books and snuggly throws in the living room :)) We will be returning to Orkney in the future and wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else."

Harbour Cottage

Harbour Cottage

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely amazing location, and great host. All the appliances worked (and we cooked frequently in the kitchen that offered space enough for 2 to be comfortable). The bedrooms at the top of the stairs were compact but had a table and chair in each, for those who need laptop or writing space. The living room was cozy. (The toilet was a bit loud, but nothing egregious.) The LOCATION was fantastic. I was concerned that possibly there would be noise from the harbor across the street…nothing. Ships came and went. There’s a good bakery, amazing butcher shop, and at least one charity shop (and museum) within walking distance, let alone a Co-op for all basic necessities. Would be glad to stay here again! Much prettier than Kirkwall. "
