This'n is probably the closest accommodation you'll find to the Ring O'Brogar/Stones of Stenness/Maes Howe/etc... I recommend Lochend: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/facility/394

Or, for perfectly clean, comfortable accommodation, with fantastic views across the Bay of Firth, you could try Atlantis Lodges in Finstown: http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/facility/395 (or http://www.atlantislodges.com/)

We stayed in both last year, and would go back to either without a second thought. Atlantis Lodges is cheaper, but Lochend is more central while being slightly remote at the same time!

Lucky you - I'd love to be back there now... >sigh<

ta muchly goffik!

the atlantis cottage link was one of the ones I'd spotted - the cottage they have called Skesquoy out at Birsay looked good - in the middle of 90 acres of nothing , near the sea and an RSPB reserve . .. groovy! We'll have transport, so no worries re distance to sites...

Just decided yesterday that we're going, so got plenty of time to save up! Going to do a(nother) week on Skye at the same time too... went there in May this year and fell in love with it - we also did a trip to Lewis then... might have to go over there again + see if we get lucky with the Callanish 18yr thing...!! EXCITING!!! and *only* 9 months to go... eek!
ta!
