As older guests, we appreciated the comfortable furnishings and the lack of steps or stairs at the cottage. the fully equipped kitchen was a highlight, and we loved the fresh eggs and other basic supplies provided. the spacious main bedroom had ample room for our luggage and mobility aids. the location on Loch Stenness offered breathtaking views, especially during sunsets and rainbows. the convenience of the nearby X1 bus was a plus, and being able to see Neolithic sites, like the Ring of Brodgar, from the garden was a unique experience. the owners and their parents were friendly and attentive, making us feel very welcome.

Felt very well looked after, no complaints.

The cottage is in an excellent location for touring the whole of mainland Orkney and is only 3 miles from the ferry. the breathtaking view of the Loch of Stenness adds to the charm. Guests were welcomed with fresh eggs from the owner's chickens and homemade jam and marmalade.

The individual heaters in the rooms made it somewhat difficult to get the place warm, especially during unusually cold weather.

We had an incredible trekking experience with our group of friends at a cozy cottage nestled by a picturesque river. The view from the cottage was breathtaking, and the beds were so comfortable that we struggled to get out of them in the morning. The host was warm and welcoming, and the well-equipped kitchen provided everything we needed. The cottage had both electric heating and a beautiful log fire, which created a cozy atmosphere for our evenings together. The owner even left us a special birthday treat and the cottage was modern and immaculate.

The exterior of the cottage lacked visual appeal, with a plain pebble-dashed facade, but the interior was lovely.

I had the most wonderful stay at a charming cottage surrounded by stunning scenery. The view of the river from the cottage was absolutely breathtaking. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it hard to get up in the morning. The host was delightful and welcoming, and the kitchen was well equipped, with the fridge stocked with all sorts of delicious goodies. I loved cozying up by the log fire every evening, enjoying the warmth and ambiance. The owner even surprised me with wine, flowers, and sweets for my birthday, which was such a thoughtful gesture. The cottage itself was modern, immaculate, and had all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect for exploring the archaeology of the area, and I even had the opportunity to visit a Neolithic burial site on the farm land belonging to the cottage. The owners went above and beyond to make my stay special, even sending my forgotten phone charger at their own expense. Thank you so much for such a memorable experience. I highly recommend this cottage. it was an unforgettable stay.

Amazing location with lovely views and beautiful gardens. Spacious and well-equipped cottage.- Easy access to all the sites on the island

The lights in the lounge were a little bright

Stayed at a lovely cottage, perfect for hiking and fishing. Enjoyed the free WiFi and garden views. BBQ available, and close to Ring of Brodgar. Loved every moment!

Oh, what a shame that I couldn't appreciate the joy of fast traffic on wet, narrow verges. Such a loss!

The location of Nether Onston Cottage was absolutely superb. Situated by the river, the view was simply breathtaking. I loved waking up to such a fantastic scenery every morning.

We had an absolutely fabulous stay at the cottage. It was exceptionally clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. the owners went above and beyond, providing us with fresh eggs, milk, and bread upon arrival. They even surprised us with a birthday card, flowers, and Prosecco. the location was perfect, with stunning views of the Loch of Stenness. As an archaeologist, I was thrilled to discover a Neolithic burial Cist on the farm land. the owners were incredibly accommodating, providing academic papers and taking me for a spin around Stenness. I can't thank them enough for making my 40th birthday so special. We will definitely be returning!

Everything was fantastic! 😊.

While the cottage had many positives, there were a couple of things that we didn't find ideal. the electricity in the cottage was powered by a coin meter, which wasn't advertised.

Functional shower room with a working electric shower. Comfortable for two people, welcoming atmosphere with a generous welcome pack. Excellent communication and convenient location for exploring the island.

Value for money was excellent, the room was clean and comfortable. The location was stunning, overlooking the Loch of Stenness, and the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.
