We loved our stay.Everything was clean and good quality.There were no mixing bowls though (which is minor or a jug) Possibly a small foldaway breakfast table would benefit the kitchen. These are minor points and did not detract from our stay. There are limited local amenities but stromness is a small town which we loved walking around and chatting with the friendly locals.
