Amazing Orkney
We had a wonderful holiday in Sarah's property. It has everything and more that we needed. Loads of open spaces, fully fitted and functional family kitchen, plenty living spaces, fabulous garden space. This property ticked every box for us. We would recommend it for anyone looking for accommodation on Orkney. You can get everywhere in a short space of time and Aurora was the perfect base.

An amazing week on Orkney
Excellent presentation, very clean and beautifully appointed house. Everything one could possibly need is provided and a wonderful selection of Orkney goodies was available when we arrived. Very much appreciated. And it was great to have the hot tub to relax in after a day's sightseeing around the island.

Perfect property in a perfect location
Very clean, modern and comfortable house. Very warm, light and spacious. Everything you need is provided including a lovely welcome basket of local produce with beer and wine.
The house is a short walk from the town and equidistant from Kirkwall harbour and Scapa Beach, with both distilleries in walking distance.
Sarah was available to answer any questions without being intrusive.
We loved every minute of our stay, from the fabulous local food and drink to Neolithic sites, nature reserves and refreshing walks.
We’ll be back!
