Annie's Blog

A home from home. Anne and Robin are fabulous hosts. Annie's Place provides everything you need and more. Look forward to returning.

The cottage was very cosy and warm and welcoming. Anne, our host, could not have done more to welcome us. It’s a beautiful location, and would be fantastic in the summer with lovely weather.

An amazing place to stay. We have stayed here many times and Anne and Robin always make us feel very welcome. The house has everything you could need.

I stayed at Annie’s Place on my own over the Christmas week. I made a great choice! The location is great for coastal walks, big and small. The accommodation is cozy. It has everything a daily life requires, in terms of kitchen utensils and dishes, hangers, towels, windows that can be locked if needed.... But even if you find there’s something missing all you have to do is ask. Anne and Robin, who run Annie’s place, are lovely lovely lovely people and praiseworthy hosts.

We found Annie's Place to be the perfect cottage, a fabulous location, comfy and well equipped and the owners very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly, a shop next door, a cafe a few minutes away and all the sights within easy reach on an excellent road network.

We really enjoyed our stay at Annie's Place and our daughter loved playing her violin along with Robin! Thank you for making us so welcome in your home.

Annie’s place is set in a beautiful location, it has everything; coastline on the doorstep and amazing walks for viewing wildlife and history! The hosts have thought of everything, and created an ideal holiday home, spotlessly presented.

This is the 4th time we have stayed at Annie's Place and we love it. My two boys (10 and 8) were so excited to be back. Anne and Robin are amazing hosts and their garden is so colourful. The accommodation has everything you could possibly need and is presented beautifully. With the beach at the end of the garden and so much to see and do in the local area, you could happily spend a week here without driving anywhere.

Anne and Robin have made Annie's Place a real "Home from Home". It has everything you need for a relaxing break. This is my second visit, this time I brought my husband and our friends with me! Will come back and soak up the peace and quiet.

We had a wonderful holiday at Annie's Place. The apartment and welcome from Robin and Anne was perfect. Birsay is an amazing location and Annie's Place is situated in a wonderful spot. We will be back for sure.

I can't imagine we could have chosen better for our first visit to Orkney. The location is wonderful; the house is comfortable and has everything you need; and Annie and Robin are so friendly and welcoming. They have created an exceptional place to stay.

We loved our stay at Annie's Place. A tranquil yet convenient location, with all the facilities you need. Anne and Robin were fantastic hosts.

Absolutely amazing position and beautiful clean facilities. The apartment is warm and cosy and welcoming after a late afternoon amble along the beach. Anne and Robin were the perfect hosts allowing me both my solitude and a sense of comfort with their wealth of knowledge and experience about the Islands. They encouraged me to follow my Orkney journey with a very open heart and I am smitten. Will be back to Annie's Place year after year after year.
