"A wonderful holiday cottage with beautiful views."
Thank you so much for the very generous and high quality welcome pack. Thank you for sharing your home and enabling us to visit Hoy/ South Walls along with our two dogs who loved the garden! The only reason for the slightly lower score on maintenance was the struggle we had closing one of the doors that appears to need some maintenance, a loose connection in the TV remote and a sliding toilet seat! These are minor issues and only mentioned so that you are made aware, they didn’t detract from our stay which really was great. We look forward to visiting Hoy/ South Walls again and would certainly love to stay at The Steading which is such a high quality cottage.
Cathy , thanks for the feedback.Much appreciated. Fortunately we will be back at the house in a few days and I will deal with the issues you highlighted.Sorry you had to deal with that and glad to hear of the positives.Best , Alasdair and Lisa Property Owner

Where you’ll be staying
LONGHOPE
Hackness 2.5 miles; Lyness 7.7 miles; Hoy 18.2 miles.
Located on the island of South Walls, one of the Orkney Islands off the northern coast of Scotland is the important coastal settlement of Longhope. Renowned for its rich maritime history dating back to the Napoleonic wars, the island South Walls is connected to Hoy by the Ayre causeway making it the second largest island in the Orkney Archipelago. Originating directly from the Old Norse word for ‘long bay’, Longhope’s main draw is its tranquil surroundings. Set in its own peaceful seclusion; you can tour the island and visit the impressively restored lifeboat museum that offers rich history on WWI and WWII or relish a hearty meal and cold beverage at one of several pubs on offer. Well-positioned to visit Hoy, Lyness and Rackwick Beach, one of the most remote and beautiful beaches to be found in Orkney, Longhope is an incredible location that is sure to stay with you long after you leave.
