The best possible choice you could make when choosing a self catering property in Orkney! The views are to die for, and the Croft House is very special, with log burner, fabulous easy to use kitchen, lovely bathrooms and bedrooms. The situation between Kirkwall and Stromness worked really well for us, and is within easy driving distance of all the... More

We spent a week in Orkney and stayed in the wonderful Buxa Farm Croft House. This newly renovated farm house was perfect for our family of 5. The house was very well appointed, with everything you needed in the kitchen for self-catering meals, great heating system, cozy fireplace, well-equipped television/video equipment (to entertain the kids on rainy days!), clean comfy...

Very good accommodation with everything needed. Thanks to Kathy for showing us around the accommodation and little gifts offered. Also detailed the tourist brochures that were in the chalets. Showed us the laundry facilities. If we go self catering to Orkneys again, this will be our stop. Nicely placed between Kirkwall & Stromness. Would definately recommend stopping there if you... More

All rooms very well equipped, kitchen... More

My husband and I stayed in the newly finished Buxa Croft House with another couple and it was the best part of our holiday. We had traveled from Glasgow, Scotland to Oban, to Port Appin and on to Skye for week before moving on to Lewis and Ullapool. Each place had its own unique flavor and feel but Orkney was... More

If you are a group, or a family, looking to stay on Mainland in the Orkneys, you would struggle to find a better location and accommodation than the Croft House for immediate tranquility and central positioning between Stromness and Kirkwall. Family friendly award is well deserved, and a little thing like the swings and slide make a big difference to... More
