Great stay and well located for visiting Orkney.

The Host was very responsive to all my inquiries, which was great. And the milk and breakfast goodies were very much appreciated!! The unit is very spacious, and the kitchen was well- equipped, so it was easy to cook our meals. The main attractions on Orkney are all relatively close - about 15-45 minutes depending on where you are going-since the Island is not that big. We liked the location because it was a beautiful drive to get there and was near the water and St. Margaret's Hope for the ferry. You can also walk to the Sands Hotel, which was a great place to have dinner. Our only challenge was that the host sent pictures of where the lockbox for the keys were so I knew it was on a post, but it was a bit hard to tell what unit ours was, and I'm not sure I would have found the lockbox without the help of the neighbor. A better narrative description of which unit was ours and where the lock box is- right across from the door- would have helped.

The group of buildings doesn't have a sign on the street - which would be very helpful in finding it, even if it was small, or within the group of buildings to make sure you knew you were in the right place. Or the host could send a googlemap pin that others could download to help find the place. Thanks!

We thoroughly enjoyed Orkney, & Kelpies was a good base.

the cottage was cosy, clean & had a comfortable bed, plus pillows. The situation was fine, especially as we had the Sands hotel a short walk away.

The Seaview Stores were closed, & I imagined because of the name that the cottage would have a sea view, but we only looked at another bungalow. Also the contents of the cottage were quite basic - only 2 wine glasses & 3 tumbers not really big enough for beer. A couple of lamps & some cushions would have added enormously to the feel of the place!

Peaceful, comfortable, convenient, sunny - all great!

Everything to like. The location was great - very peaceful; partial but still lovely sea views (see photo); very handy for a beach and dog exercise; lovely pub/restaurant in village 5 mins walk away; Kirkwall less than 20 mins drive away; less than 10 minutes from St Margaret's Hope ferry arrival / departure. Apartment also very comfortable and cozy (this was February). Very speedy internet. We also had a staggering amount of sunshine!

Nothing significant. The slightly odd location of the only shower (in the en-suite) was a minor drawback. Bring your own coffee-making hardware. But really - it was lovely and these are trivial criticisms. We'd go back tomorrow!

Way beyond our expectations and we will definitely be booking another stay!!

Kelpie was exactly what we needed for our week’s stay. There was plenty of parking for our motorhome and the facilities in the accommodation were excellent. We were able to get our washing done and dried in a day!!

Unbelievably we found it too warm in the house and the controls on the storage heater didn’t seem to respond as we thought. On the plus side this meant that our washing dried in a day!!

Would recommend this property. Ideal location too.

I like that I was able to collect the keys without coming into contact with anyone, and knowing the host was only a phone call away cor anything was ideal.

There isn't anything I 'didn't like' but the two things I picked up on was the stained oven gloves and pot mat. It's natural these types of items will be marked/stained ect due to wear and tear but in my option should have replaced before guests arrive. Other thing very noticeable on arrival was the dirty windows. More than likely due to strong salt winds coming in but it did look like they hadn't been cleaned in a long time. I enjoyed my stay in the property, everything we needed was available. These are only things I could fault.

Fabulous apartment in a great setting, will come back again.

Lovely apartment, spotlessly clean with all amenities. Location was brilliant great walk for the dogs, shop attached but not open while we were there as they had a bereavement. Sands Hotel nearby for Lunches, Dinner, drinks etc.

A security light to help locate and see the numbers on the key safe would be helpful when checking in when dark. This is not a complaint merely a suggestion 🙂

Amazing from start to finish

From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed The place was well equipped and clean It's in an amazing central location so no matter where you were going it didn't take ages to get there Amanda was a life safer letting us know about the ferry situation and letting us stay later than normal to check out

Warm, comfortable and good location. Excellent host- good communication and readily answered.

Lack of cookware - particularly containers for microwave. No bath/shower in the 'bathroom'. The shower was only accessible thro a single bedroom. We kept banging our heads on the sloping ceilings

Very good

The location was very good , a wonderful sea view. Parking our car was very easy. The 0pen plan design of the lounge and kitchen was excellent. Bedrooms were of a good size with Plenty of bedding.

We were led to believe that it was advertised as a bathroom and shower room. Unfortunately the bathroom had neither a bath or a shower. Leaving just the shower to service four adults.

A quite respite on a long journey.

It was a perfect midway stop in our two week travels. We were able to catch up and regroup, do laundry and finish planning the rest of the trip. We were minutes away from some wonderful sights.

Hard to get clothes dry, but nice to have clean clothes again. The mattress is old and should be replaced. Other than that nothing to note negative.

Good base for exploration

This was a good base for exploring the island. The rooms were spacious, the kitchen well equipped and the owner friendly and helpful. Having a store as part of the business was a plus as was the excellent restaurant in the local hotel.

The design of the bathroom was awkward in that the shower was not contained and water could easily spread over the entire floor. The seating in the living area was comfortable enough but worn and dated.

Immersed and Entangled in Tangles! An Apartment with Star Quality*****

We absolutely fell in love with Tangles. Perfect space in a perfect apartment in perfect Burray. We all adored Victoria, the owner, who was so helpful. I'd book this again in a heartbeat. Brilliant base for exploring the Orkney Isles. A 5* experience.

Everything was perfect - really wonderful.
