I loved the location of the property about 10/ 20 minutes drive from most of the historic sites we wanted to see. The house is about 10 minutes drive outside Stromness in a very quiet location, by a quiet roadside. The owner Simon was so friendly and couldn't have been more helpful and he responded to our requests for information immediately. The house has everything you need and was comfortable, warm and spotless and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property. Love Orkney and thank you Simon for all the info and suggestions for spectacular walks, we even saw puffins at Brough of Birsay and enjoyed a delicious lunch in the Standing Stones Hotel listening to the Birsay boys play in the folk festival! Hope to return one day to explore the islands further.

Beautiful spacious room, with spacious modern bathroom and cosy bed. Lovely breakfasts, excellent cosy private bar. Parking close by/out front if you time it right. Staff - amazing! Chef so lovely and lady on breakfast duty also - helped set up so we could watch the All Blacks v England rugby match early in the morning. Chef also showed some interesting local events being the Orca visiting the harbour. Made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts were great - lots of choice

From arrival we were met with a friendly lady on reception, unfortunately I can't remember her name but she was very helpful, professional and made us feel welcome. The hotel in general was clean, tidy and had a homely feel. Myself and my partner had a great sleep, comfortable bed and a warm and clean room. We were just a few minutes walk away from everything that we needed. We didn't use the other facilities in the hotel but we definitely will if we return again in the future.

Fabulous stay. Spacious bedroom, the communal kitchen has good facilities, excellent breakfasts. The hosts were very attentive. Best of all, the hosts took time in helping us choose which areas and attractions in Orkney to visit. As a result we had the most wonderful time with our sightseeing, and really enjoyed our holiday in the Orkneys.

    Lovely and quiet village with all the essentials but lacking evening meal options during the week. However Kirkwall is only 6 miles away with restaurants, takeaways and larger shops. Stenness and Brodgar are on the doorstep so really handy for early morning or late evening visits as alternative to the busier times. A great base from which to visit all of the sites of the North and West coasts. There is a good walk up the hill behind the village that takes in some modern stone pillars and a much older, more interesting Neolithic cairn. It's also possible to follow the marked St Magnus trail over the brow to get a view not only over Finstown but to the coast on the other since of the hill.

    Finstown is a nice little town about 10 minutes from Kirkwall. It is ideally located to visit some of the island's premier attractions. It is quiet and peaceful but still within a very easy drive to Kirkwall.

    Finstown is centrally located for touring.

    Finstown is centrally located for touring. It has a general store and a pub although I didn’t visit the pub. For electric car drivers, it has a car park with a couple of chargers which is handy. There’s also a good walk up the hill to Cuween cairn.

    Make your adventure to Orkney and it's landscape with a comfortable place to relax and enjoy in Finstown after a day exploring this area. Once you exit NorthLink Ferries, stay right onto A965 towards Kirkwall to Finstown a small community with simple ammenities that serve the locals and you should you choose.

    Location was excellent for the major tourist sites.

    Location was excellent for the major tourist sites. It was only 7-8min from Kirwell including its major supermarkets and was on the western side of Kirkwell which made it closer to the Ness of Brodgar, Stromness, Skara Brae and the Houton ferry to the Scapa Flow museum.

    There is not much in Finstown itself, but our stay at Butterfly Lodge was excellent. The Pod has everything you could need for a short stay. The bed was comfortable, bathroom excellent and the sofa was comfortable. Kirkwall, a short distance away was a marvel, although Stromness was a little less than we expected. A visit to Scara Brae is essential, it is a wonderful place.
