These apartments are very well situated for most of the places of interest on the main island of Orkney (with Kirkwall only being about 15 mins away), and the apartments are extremely comfortable and well-kitted out. Thoroughly recommended!
A well-located holiday apartment that has all that you need for an really enjoyable stay. It is very well-positioned for the pre-historic sites in particular.

Dounby is a small village in the heart of the West Mainland of Orkney. It is very convenient for a stress free holiday.
There is a grocery shop, a butcher(local beef, pork and lamb), post office, hairdresser, chemist and hotel all within a few minutes walk from Kringla. At the primary school in Dounby there is a playpark and tennis court.
Visitors to the area frequently comment on the friendly people who make you feel very welcome.
Getting around
A car is recommended but bicycles would also be acceptable as Dounby is central to the West Mainland and many of the sites.
