Average at best

Where to start? Directions sent after payment were good, easily found property from Stromness. On arrival at what I thought was the back door, I was disappointed to find an obstacle course of broken broom handles, and the entry splattered with bird droppings. Going inside, I soon found that there was little or no Meadow view, the “back door I mentioned is in fact the only door, the windows to the front are small and,when you are sitting on the not very comfortable sofas, quite high. On to the facilities not infact 3 bathrooms but 2 en-suite shower rooms and a separate toilet. The kitchen was average, nothing special. Bedrooms, fair and down a flight of stairs, each with en-suite shower room. Outlook, almost half by half below ground level and looking wrong way for any Meadow view. The accommodation was in clean order and fair condition. Now back to the bird droppings and obstacle course, once inside I found a note, asking us to shoo away, and not feed the hens! I’d almost taken a tumble on the round poles lying on the door step! A short time later two chickens appeared at the kitchen window. These are obviously well used to people as even chasing them off didn’t deter them. On now to, the claim next to UNESCO world heritage site. Yes, it might be, but if it meant the Ring of Brodgar or Stenness, then next too is a bit of exaggeration, 3.5 to 4 miles of such. In short, average property for price, no real view from window (while seated) Chicken droppings on doorstep, obstacle course at door, we had an elderly guest with us and I dread to think of the consequences if she had stepped on the broken broom handles. TV limited channels no BBC2, not expecting a full SKY package but at least a decent freeview, average Kitchen Average bedrooms, poor seating in lounge.

Loved our stay

We really enjoyed this little home away from home. The apartment was very clean and well equipped but what we liked most was the beautiful setting with lovely views and friendly horses in the nearby field

Apartment with views and animals

Alexander is a wonderful host. He was patient and helpful when we repeatedly had scheduling snafus. His two-level property is cozy and comfy. A nice kitchen, half-bath, and living room upstairs, and two ensuite bedrooms down. We had pasture views out the front and back. Saw many sheep, cows, and a couple of horses. We heard a rooster crow and saw a couple of fancy hens pecking around. It was close to Stromness. On my birthday, we drove out of the driveway to see a flag flying that said "Happy Birthday." I ran over to him and told him it was my birthday. He said he was flying it for a lady across the pasture, and he does it for many people in the neighborhood. That's a good country for flags. Plenty of wind.

About the host

Hosted by Alexander

Hey, I'm Alexander, I'm a 27 year old Orcadian and look forward to welcoming you to Stromness Apartments - three apartments built as a result of a barn conversion on my Granny and Grandad's croft of Milldam, where my Mum was born and brought up.
You'll be welcome to walk around the old farm and enjoy the surrounding land and trees that my Grandad and Dad planted (they are not very common in Orkney we like to brag about them!).
I really hope you can come and enjoy Stromness Apartments, and everything Orkney has to offer.
Alexander :-)

Why they chose this property

The beautiful and charming town of Stromness is only a 10 minute walk away, with its historic winding cobbled streets, dramatic aspect and busy harbour. The Apartments are an ideal place for exploring all of what Orkney has to offer, and only a short walk from the main bus routes, or a mere 5 minute drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site boasting some of the best and most numerous Neolithic sites in Northern Europe.

A World Heritage Site on Your Doorstep….
Jump in your car and in 5 minutes you find yourself in one of the richest archaeological landscapes in the world, the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site. From the spectacular and iconic Ring of Brodgar, to Maeshowe - the finest Neolithic tomb in Northern Europe, or the Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae - the best preserved group of prehistoric houses in Western Europe, Stromness Apartments puts you on the doorstep of Neolithic Orkney. You can even visit the live dig at The Ness of Brodgar - recently featured on the front cover of National Geographic magazine this 3 hectare site filled with massive stone structures containing unique and spectacular finds is without parallel in Europe.

Enjoy everything Orkney Has to Offer….
Only 20 minutes away you’ll find Orkney’s main town of Kirkwall, home to Britain’s most northerly cathedral, the beautiful c900 year old St Magnus Cathedral. Kirkwall also boasts numerous shops and cafes, a theatre, sports centre, 3D cinema, as well as 3 large supermarkets.
