If you are looking for somewhere to pause, breathe & smile then the Noddle is for you. A real opportunity to switch off & enjoy Island life. An eco friendly home with all mod cons if you need them but this is a real opportunity to step away. There’s one shop on the Island of Hoy which opens in the morning & afternoon about 30 minutes across the Island so do bring most of what you need as there are two fridges & a freezer. There is also a regular ferry service for Island hopping so you can enjoy the best of both worlds.

The accommodation was perfect for us. A short walk to centre of Kirkwall. The house was very comfortable and spacious and worked very well for three couples. It was one of the best resourced Airbnbs we have have stayed in. We wanted for nothing during our stay. Our host Simon was incredibly helpful ( especially as the couples we arrived at different times ) and his attention to detail was apparent in all aspects of our stay and helped make for a very memorable holiday . Highly recommended.

Excellent cosy home to stay in. Walkable to all amenities and sites in town. Nice and quiet, would highly recommend.

Brian's place in Tankerness was just great and Brian was a great host who answered questions quickly. Very beautiful view out the back windows and very peaceful location. The house was clean and comfortable with plenty of room for lounging. Easy drive to Kirkwall. If you are very lucky the local farm cat will come and intoduce himself. He is a charmer. If we are ever lucky enough to visit Orkney again we wouldn't hesitate to stay at Valkyrie.

The house was spacious, really well stocked and in a great location. Lizzy communicated really well and made the whole stay very easy We had a fantastic two weeks there. The garden is a good size but for anyone bringing pets it is not secure.

Having been to Orkney many times but needing accommodation for a family wedding, we couldnt have asked for a better place to stay, we could see the venue from the window. My crawling grandson was with us and Vanessa had stairgates up and a highchair in place and he had plenty room to play. There was honestly everything there that you could maybe have forgotten and was so well stocked. We hope we had left everything in okay order as we had to leave the island quicker than expected as our ferry was cancelled and had to get an early morning one. Would definitely return here and have already recommended this property.

Such comfortable accommodation in a beautiful setting. The house is really well set up, everything has been thought through so well and the hosts were kind and welcoming.

Norman and Maria’s home was perfect! It was the cleanest and most organized/tidiest home we have ever stayed in. It was not in the city centre. We had a car and could very conveniently park in front of the house. It was a 3 minute drive to a Tesco grocery store, and we parked in the long stay parking lot beside Tesco to do our touring of Kirkwall. We ( two couples) had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed Orkney.

We had a great stay. The apartment was ideal and very well equipped. No complaints although, be warned, only one person can use the kitchen at a time! Would definitely recommend! Many thanks

I booked this accommodation for my son’s who needed something central. The host was helpful and available for any questions. The accommodation was clean and so many small details had been thought about to make their stay enjoyable. Thank you so much.

Perfect base for exploring the area. Very clean, well equipped, and in a great location.

Angela was a great and responsive host. Very welcoming, would stay again!

I had a wonderful stay at this apartment in Orphir. The place was absolutely impeccable—spotlessly clean, well-organized, and equipped with everything needed for cooking, cleaning, and beyond. It was clear that great care had been taken to ensure guests feel comfortable. Louise, the host, was welcoming and proactive, making the check-in process seamless and ensuring I had everything I needed throughout my stay. Orphir is peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway, but a car is recommended for reaching supermarkets or larger towns. The apartment is ideal for families of four and feels like a luxurious treat for singles or couples. Highly recommended.

The flat is a little gem with lots of little added things to make it pretty: pictures, photos, nice curtains etc. When we arrived the electric fire and classic FM were on. A special touch. Super quiet. The view is amazing and it is only 10 minutes walk to Stromness. Super easy to access by car and then travel into the island. Highly recommend.

Lovely little flat in great location for short stay in Kirkwall . Kerry and Tara were friendly and very quick to answer any queries. Would certainly use them again if ever back visiting Orkney.

Fantastic! I’ve stayed in a lot of different types of accommodation over the years but this was the best. Immaculate in every way and very thoughtfully presented. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or go back to this property. Ten minute walk to the town centre. Friendly host next door but didn’t intrude. You won’t be disappointed!

Leona”s place is spacious, warm and comfortable. It is well equipped and a great location to visit the local Neolithic sites, Stromness and Kirkwall. There is great access to the local Loch. I would definitely stay again.

Great apartment. Very clean and well appointed. Great location in that you were very close to everything the only downside was that on the Saturday night the noise from the young folk waiting for taxis was horrendous. Between 12-2 am none of us could sleep and that was with the windows shut and earplugs in . But for the noise on the Saturday night I would have scored higher.

The property was an ideal location if arriving in Kirkwall by ferry and hoping to explore the Orkney Isles. Really peaceful location, despite being walking distance to the town centre and all the amenities. The property was well equipped, the host provided everything you could need for an enjoyable break. We'd definitely go back when we return to Orkney :)

A very convenient, cosy and comfortable peerie flat. It has everything you need, it was the perfect place for my needs and has a good vibe for hanging out in. There's nice art work on the stair and in the flat. Liked the nautical theme. Thanks for the bottle o wine, biscuits and Orkney fudge!

Amazing ! We never met people as sweet as the couple that host this house ! We arrived late in Orkeys islands and they came to meet us in Kirkwall to drive us to their home. Very helpful and caring ! The beds were comfy and the bathroom very clean ! We recommend ! Lia & Hakemi

Very clean , comfortable and central. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean and very comfortable, well kitted, spacious. Great location!
