Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Orkney

It had everything we hoped for fantastic location and greig was very accommodating.

We had a great stay at this cottage in Stromness. The accommodation was equipped with everything we needed and was lovely and clean. We enjoyed the quiet location and watching the wildlife from the windows. This was a great base for exploring Orkney. We are looking forward to returning one day.

We absolutely loved our stay, the cottage was everything we wanted and looked for. Evelyn is a fantastic host and provides an amazing cottage to stay in. Immaculate, peaceful and the best location, only a few minutes from Stromness. We will be back.

A one-of-a-kind stay in an unparalleled location! We so enjoyed reading about the history of the kirk and its caretakers over the years; the island of Hoy is rich with hikes, views, museums, fresh air, and peaceful interludes. Worth the ferry trips to stay here! (Just be advised that if you’re coming at or after the end of September, or arriving on a Sunday, you’d do well to get groceries on the main island ahead of your visit bc there will be few to no options for food service on Hoy. We did and were so grateful we had!)

A beautiful spacious, homely house with an amazing large kitchen and the views are fabulous. What better place to stay and show our family our homeland. Would definitely be happy to stay here again.

We had a truly wonderful stay at this home in Orkney. The views over the ocean were absolutely stunning—we spent hours just watching the changing light and sea from the comfort of the house. The home itself was spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed, including all basic kitchen essentials. The hosts went above and beyond: they left us fresh bread and butter, and even a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers to welcome us. A special highlight of our trip was seeing a calf being born right outside the kitchen window—a magical, unexpected experience. The location, the home, and the incredible hospitality made this one of our favorite stays. 100% satisfied, and we would return in a heartbeat.

Stevens place was very cute and in a great location. It’s a good spot if you have kids.

Responsive host, guys really enjoy it there.

Central but quiet, lovely cosy wee place. Decent parking was tricky to find maybe add it into welcome pack but she was amazing when we locked ourselves out with keys and my phone in flat!

Linda’s Place is a lovely former family home in a stunning position on the sea front at Longhope on the island of Hoy. It’s a family home with a very comfy, if somewhat old-fashioned vibe. Don’t expect 5 star accommodation but do expect a warm home well supplied with kitchen equipment and welcoming shortbread (very yummy) and fresh milk in the fridge. There are two boxes of toy,s /games for children of all ages plus a large DVD film collection for showing on the TV , Linda supplies bedding and towels. The bathroom has a shower over the bath. For a rural property the water supply water supply is fab but a tip is to stagger bath/shower times as the hot water sometime can run cool if excessive demand is placed on it. There is a garden with a washing line over the road from the cottage. The next door neighbour is a brilliant neighbour and all locals we met were friendly and very helpful. We two stayed in the first week of August 24 finding the village shop to have comprehensive supply.

Home from home Everything well presented and log burning fire an absulute dream to come home to after a days exploring.

Lovely little cottage with lots of character. Tucked away in a private corner, great location. Very convenient for shops, cafes, restaurants, local attractions and ferries. Clean and comfortable. Thank you.

Our first visit to North Ronaldsay. Verracott was a great location, being in the middle of the island, so perfect for exploring. The croft is on its own down a private lane, with North Manse to the north (a field away) and Purtabrek to the south (2 fields away). The cottage was exactly as described, cosy with the fire (or 2) burning in the evenings. Plenty of hot water so the bath was well used! We ordered our provisions from the Bird Observatory and had lunch there several times. We enjoyed feeding our scraps to the chickens! If you fancy getting away from it all, this is the place to come. Loved it. Helga was very responsive and helpful, and it was really lovely to meet her, and her family.

St Clair house in St Margaret’s hope is an absolutely splendid place to be. The secluded and sheltered back garden with outside seating and fire pit is something I plan to make at my own house following our time at Shona’s beautiful house. We are a family of 6, with four boys from 9-14. We all loved it.

We visited Orkney as a group with varied interests, from wildlife to archeology and Furso was the perfect base to explore it all. Cosy and quirky, a perfect space to get away from everyone and yet have the heart of Neolithic Orkney a short drive away, not to mention Hen Harriers and Short-eared Owls passing by. The box beds were a definite highlight, one of our group now wants one at home!

Jans Tin tent is ideally located just a few miles from the ferry.. Beautiful location. Ideal base for exploring the island. The caravan is well equipped, clean comfortable and warm..Jan was welcoming and explained instructions needed for using the van. She was quick to respond and helpful with difficulties we had. It was an added bonus and well appreciated luxury having the hot tub. Excellent value for money. The farm animals were a joy to see, and there are seals in the bay close on Jans farm..Jan and her husband are developing the camping, they run a beautiful farm and work very hard. My dog was welcome. Very good experience. We would stay again if we return to Sanday.

I'm finding it difficult to put into words what being a guest at Cantick Head was like. Magical, inspiring, cozy, peaceful, safe. The cottage is beyond charming. It was tastefully decorated with little bits of history scattered about. It was absolutely spotless clean with comfortable beds and linens that smelled heavenly especially after a day of hiking the nearby trails. A nature and animal lovers paradise. Alan and his family go above and beyond to ensure you are happy. I found the experience to be quite moving and was saddened to leave. Alan is an example of what an outstanding Airbnb operator is and Cantick Head is a top notch accommodation. The price was very reasonable for the experience of being at Cantick Head. Overall, 11 out 10!

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting. We appreciated all the special touches - including the kettle pre boiled ready for arrival and the bottle of fizz! Kitchen brilliantly stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay.

My daughter (3) and I spent 2 nights for my 30th We couldn’t have asked for more , the cabin was immaculate and well designed with plenty of space . The views were stunning the cabin was warm and the hosts were great the cupcakes eggs and bread were lovely . We found the hot tub was a lovely touch after spending our time sailing and surfing I only wish we’d been able to stay longer We will definitely be back as soon as we can

We had an excellent time at Miry Park. Our daughter was delighted to see all the animals and play on beaches. Jan and her husband were great to show us around, give advice or help out if needed. The tin tent was spotless clean and warm even in early April.
