We had a wonderful stay! The pod is well equipped with everything we needed, and the bed was really comfortable. Loved having access to a private hot tub. Communications with the host were also excellent.

The lodge was in a beautiful location, it had everything needed, and was tastefully furnished with a little patio area to sit out, and it was lovely to sit and watch the sunset, we had lovely views, but it is out on its own, so you need a car to go out to eat etc, but the setting makes up for this. I did leave something and Sarah did locate it and post back to me, and I was very grateful for that.

The house is perfect and an ideal location for all main Orkney attractions on the main island. We also loved the hot tub and the weather was great for most of the week. Plenty of space to chill and relax. Excellent space for a family of 6 and loved the living room upstairs. Very novel but works very well. Everything needed for a top notch self catering house. And the welcome pack was AMAZING! A fantastic touch by Sarah the host. Highly recommend.

I had a fantastic stay at Orkney Lux Lodge in Stromness. The lodge is beautifully designed and combines modern amenities with a cozy atmosphere. The location is perfect with stunning views. A good base for excursions and exploring the island. Highly recommended for a relaxing stay on the Orkneys.

Self catering. We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Shona had left us a welcome tray and milk and eggs as well as fresh flowers. The cottage was very cosy and well furnished. It contained everything we needed. We have rented holiday cottages often in the past and Bachylis is one that we particularly enjoyed. . .

The property was equipped with everything you could need. The location was very peaceful and the views were lovely. The grounds were well kept and the lodge itself was very spacious. The lodge was decorated so nicely making it a welcoming home. We were lucky to have a hot tub which really added to our experience. The team at Lilly’s lodges were superb. We left something in the lodge and they gave us a phone shortly after we checked out to let us know.
