What Guests Say About Their Stay
Linda

Absolutely amazing location, and great host. All the appliances worked (and we cooked frequently in the kitchen that offered space enough for 2 to be comfortable). The bedrooms at the top of the stairs were compact but had a table and chair in each, for those who need laptop or writing space. The living room was cozy. (The toilet was a bit loud, but nothing egregious.)
The LOCATION was fantastic. I was concerned that possibly there would be noise from the harbor across the street…nothing. Ships came and went. There’s a good bakery, amazing butcher shop, and at least one charity shop (and museum) within walking distance, let alone a Co-op for all basic necessities.
Would be glad to stay here again! Much prettier than Kirkwall.

Very clean and comfortable accom - great to arrive (very late!) to lights and warmth. Very good facilities, private parking (a little tight) and very convenient for ferry to Scrabster and Stromness main street.

This was a pleasant cottage with parking in front. It was nicely decorated and beds were very comfortable.It was five minutes from a co-op food shop which opens seven days a week 7 am to 10 pm. Almost opposite the bus station and a two minute walk to the ferry.
Bike hire is available in Stromness. And we had a great day taking the ferry over to hoy, cycling to Rackwick Bay and walking to see the old man of hoy sea stack.
The cottage includes a small washing machine which we did use (only once…). The kitchen is adequately stocked are not like some holiday cottages which have cupboards full of stuff you will never use. I stayed with my daughter so there were only two of us, but clearly this could increase to 4 people. With four people, I think the kitchen might prove to be a little cramped at the dining table.

We loved the cottage. It was perfect in every way and David was a great host, even helping us with our bags from the ferry.

We had a lovely stay at Harbor Cottage. On the harbor just off the ferry exit. Communication was great & we accessed the cottage easily. Everything was clean & comfy. Even had Sky TV which can be rare. Kitchen had most everything you could need. Only issue was the slats on both beds kept falling.

Harbor cottage is a cute place in an excellent location near the ferry terminal in Stromness. And with several restaurants nearby, and even a fishmarket within walking distance, you have a variety of meals to choose from the one downside we struggled with was accessibility. We were not able to take our luggage upstairs, because of the very narrow steep staircase. The furniture was placed in such a way. It was difficult to move throughout the downstairs. If you have any mobility problems, you might consider a different location.

We stayed at Harbor Cottage for 3 nights and had a great stay. It was comfortable and in an awesome location right across from the ferry harbor. Two things that I appreciated in particular were the convenient lights for reading and the abundance of electric outlets, Needing outlets for hair dryer, curling iron, heating pad, and all the devices needing recharged was no problem here! The place was clean and cozy and the kitchen well-equipped for our needs. You can't go wrong staying at this cute, two-story cottage.
