Stayed May bank holiday weekend 2013. Group of 8 couples. We all found the accommodation excellent, modern and well appointed with good quality kitchen equipment (important for self catering!). Location is quiet, away from main road with lovely views/sunsets over to Hoy. We saw Killer Whales in the bay, stunning. Would definitely return to this accommodation.
