Holiday houses in Stenness

Rachael's cottage is wonderful - we stayed six nights in the Spring and it was delightful. We especially appreciated some really nice welcoming touches such as some fresh flowers and chocolates for our arrival. We also appreciated the comprehensive heating system the cottage has - it was a little cold outside but we were always snug and warm inside the cottage. Rachael also has two wood burning fires with plenty of wood provided and even some coal as well. The kitchen is also very well equipped with a modern oven and cook top. All in all a lovely stay in a lovely cottage in an amazing area - stunning views and in the Spring, tons of tiny and cute lambs right outside the front door! We will happily come back!

We loved every second of our stay even with rainy weather. Yvonne is very friendly and really helpful. We felt like at home and had an amazing family relaxing stay. for sure we will recommend it to friends and family and for sure we will come back again and again. we stayed with 20 months old daughter and it was nice and easy stay. Yvonne even left toys for Maria. Such a lovely touch. thank you very much!!!

We absolutely loved our stay, the cottage was everything we wanted and looked for. Evelyn is a fantastic host and provides an amazing cottage to stay in. Immaculate, peaceful and the best location, only a few minutes from Stromness. We will be back.

This was a lovely house and a good base for exploring Caithness. The house was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable and the showers were hot. The house was lovely and warm to combat the chilly weather outside! Our hosts were friendly and check in / check out was simple. There was plenty of room for the 10 people in our party. Our children particularly enjoyed the sand dunes at Dunnet Bay and rock pooling at Ham Harbour - even in the rain. There was a nice walk from nearby Lybster Harbour along the cliff tops.

What a lovely stay we had at Hazel's house! It was spotlessly clean, with quality furnishings and so well equipped with everything one could hope to need for a very comfortable stay. Hazel was very responsive to queries and happy to help. Set in a quiet residential location which was around 15-20 mins uphill walk from town, the house has lovely views across Stromness and beyond. There is a private garden adjacent to the house that we enjoyed sitting in, and loads of space for car parking. We wouldn't hesitate to stay at Hazel's again and would recommend to anyone who values comfort and cleanliness.

If you love nature and the environment, this is the place for you. Not only is the yurt surrounded by beauty, but it's clear the owners care deeply about maintaining, improving, and respecting the land around them. They have a strong ethos for reducing waste, not "fixing what's not broken", and being resourceful. The result is a unique, charming, and also functional space. Would definitely stay again!

Not too sure what to say about this stunning house, other than WOW WOW WOW!!! If you’re looking for the perfect base for a group or family getaway, look no further (I looked far and wide before stumbling over Keiss Harbour House and what a find!!!) From start to finish, Jill has been a fantastic host. The house was exactly as described and even better than expected! We were completely blown away. We visited Keiss as a surprise 40th birthday trip with my boyfriend and 8 of our friends. We all agreed that this is by far the best stay any of us have had. There was something for all of us, walking, to beach trips, the beautiful local town of Wick, kite surfing, diving, john o’groats, lots of delicious food. A Tesco 10 mins down the road meant we were able to make great use of the brilliantly stocked kitchen, the stew cooked in the huge slow cooker provided went down a treat after a blustery day! We aren’t ones to return to the same destination but will definitely be back!

We’ve stayed in a few AirBNBs but this one absolutely stands out. It is spacious, comfortable, very well equipped, peaceful, quiet and with lovely hosts who simply couldn’t do enough for us. Don’t hesitate to book this one up, dear reader.... you will not regret it for a moment. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
