A lovely apartment, warm & cosy, with lovely views. It was our first visit to Orkney and we would love to come back. Can thoroughly recommend it. More

We are just back from a 4 nights stay in Orkney. The cottage really reinforces the feeling of old Scotland. A very well renovated Scottish cottage. Clean, very well furnished and good heating, which is a must in Orkney unprecticable weather! The view is unique. and a playground right outside the door, a treat for the kids! I highly recommend...

We had a wonderful week in one of the chalets. Excellent location (if you like it quiet). Superb, well appointed accommodation. Very warm despite the weather not being the best. The large porch is a great drying space with plenty of room to get boots off in the warm before entering the lounge. We were there in August but I... More

Very good accommodation with everything needed. Thanks to Kathy for showing us around the accommodation and little gifts offered. Also detailed the tourist brochures that were in the chalets. Showed us the laundry facilities. If we go self catering to Orkneys again, this will be our stop. Nicely placed between Kirkwall & Stromness. Would definately recommend stopping there if you... More

Wonderful place. Great location yards from the sea. Very high spec finish to the Croft House where we stayed. We spent the week in the kitchen (!) which has picture windows of Hoy and Stromness, comfy seating and plenty of room to spread out. Look out for the little owl which comes to visit. All rooms very well equipped, kitchen... More

My husband and I stayed in the newly finished Buxa Croft House with another couple and it was the best part of our holiday. We had traveled from Glasgow, Scotland to Oban, to Port Appin and on to Skye for week before moving on to Lewis and Ullapool. Each place had its own unique flavor and feel but Orkney was... More

If you are a group, or a family, looking to stay on Mainland in the Orkneys, you would struggle to find a better location and accommodation than the Croft House for immediate tranquility and central positioning between Stromness and Kirkwall. Family friendly award is well deserved, and a little thing like the swings and slide make a big difference to... More

"It was really great to be back, this was our fourth stay at Buxa Farm Chalets. The accommodation is first rate, clean, comfortable and practical, you will do well to find anything superior to this ! The view from Buxa across the Sound of Hoy on a clear summers evening is amazing – probably one of the most sought after... More

This modern chalet was very comfortable, warm (we had very variable weather)extremely well equipped and convenient particularly for some of the major archeological sites. The welcome was very friendly, and Kathy popped in to make sure we had everything we needed and to make sure we had her contact details if anything came to mind. We didn't manage to do... More
