Lovely to go back to Houton this year again. This time we went self-catering but began with one of Caroline's lovely suppers to save cooking the first night. Puffin Quoy is gorgeous. Very luxurious with a fantastic bathroom and kitchen. The views from the lounge are wonderful and one day we just sat and "chilled out". It was super to... More

Caroline and Kevin were wonderfully welcoming and great company. We stayed in Puffin cottage which was gorgeous and very comfortable. The work they have done on the buildings is truly 5 star. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious and I'm looking forward to going back and trying one of Caroline's evening meals. Amazing all round and absolutely loved our 2 night... More

I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed the four days and three nights we spent at the Quoy. Caroline has such an eye for decor and the whole house just exudes comfort and peace. The bed was so comfy and the shower works like a dream (a very important part of any stay, for me). Caroline's breakfasts were... More

We spent two nights in the B&B and had a wonderfully relaxing and restorative stay. Caroline and Kevin gave us an immensely warm welcome, which included tea, cakes and lots of great advice on what to do and where to go. The breakfast was lovely and Caroline cooked us a meal on one night which was absolutely delicious. I have... More

From the moment that you arrive you are warmly welcomed by Caroline and Kevin. We stayed for 3 nights in the Old Granary. What can I say? Absolute luxury! It has been perfectly renovated with top quality furnishings. Caroline also showed us the other accommodation available and I can honestly say that I would jump at the chance to stay... More

Wonderful welcome upon our arrival. Caroline made us a pot of tea along with freshly baked cake and delivered it to our room. Wonderful cozy slay bed and view of Scapa Flow. Thick plush towels - better than any 5 Star Hotel. Our hosts recommendations on restaurants in Stromness and Kirkwall were excellent. Our breakfast was outstanding as we ate... More

Right from arrival at this accommodation you feel special. The beautiful location and highest quality of furniture, decor and facilities are matched only by the fantastic hospitality shown by Kevin and Caroline. Without being at all intrusive, your hosts are readily available with heaps of local knowledge, not mention delicious food - especially Caroline's homemade shortbread and cake! We would... More

Excellent... we stayed a week in the Puffin Quoy, a luxury cottage for 2. The amenities were great, the bed was fabulously cosy, which can be important when the weather is more prone to napping than exploring... the living room/dining area was perfect, with many windows, sea views, and cows looking at you while you have breakfast! You can even... More
