Papa Westray : locations de vacances

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.

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.

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

Karen’s place is fantastic and we would highly recommend it. It exceeded all expectation with so much attention to detail, lovely welcoming treats, ample information about local attractions., night sensor lights, the works. Very cosy and well equipped, very comfortable beds, great to all have our own rooms . Easy to walk down to town & have the car parked right out front for travels throughout Orkney. Well equipped kitchen to have choice for meals . Neighbours guinea pigs were cute & great outlook to sheep & golf course . Karen is very responsive & kind. We loved it . Thanks

This was really the best airbnb which I have booked . The facilities and the location were awesome. Good for the private space for a group of friends.

Had a fantastic stay, spotless, welcome pack on arrival. The house felt so cozy and comfortable. Couldn’t ask for better.

Great location for visiting all the sites on mainland. The accommodation is spotlessly clean and good value for money. We were lucky enough to have lovely weather which meant we spent plenty of time enjoying the beautiful views from the loch side decking. Thank you.

Doehouse cottage was the best warm and cosy place to come back to in fall windy days, it’s even better than you can imagine ! very well furnished you will feel instantly home. Thank you for everything Sam and Lee, I had the best time in this home away from home and will be back !
