Monthly Rentals in Lyness

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.

Very charming and magical place with a beautiful view of the North Sea. They foster a sense of community with the shared kitchen where you can meet fellow travelers if you are inclined. Be aware that you really need to be equipped with your own stuff like towels, soap, shampoo, etc. Bedding is available for the huts if you ask but that's pretty much it. The huts have electric heating for chilly nights. Some small improvements could be made, like having hand towels in the bathroom and maybe a more comfortable mattress on the wood floor. As with all shared spaces, you encounter some who are more considerate than others. And the view of the sea can sometimes be obstructed by camper vans. But overall, this is very worthwhile for the calm and beauty, and there are nifty spots you can walk to nearby. Having a hired car, or your own, makes a stay here much more accessible. Oh, the chickens and the cat wandering around are adorable!

Old hall is in a fabulous location with beautiful walks and a lovely, swimmable beach accessible from the door. the house is comfortable, fully equipped, scrupulously clean and Sandra is a very responsive host ☺️ we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. top tip: we did need to use our eye masks as the room is quite light with the early sun.

Langwell was my wee haven. Very private and my dog loved to sit looking out the front window to the amazing view while I just loved the treat of coffee in bed while looking out to sea. Very clean and warm and well stocked with tea and coffee as well as the full complement of apps in the telly so nice to snuggle in watching a film when Orkney decides to be blustery!! Would really recommend- great value all round!!
