Wonderful time for all of us. Lana (just 6) managed to walk to “old Man” and we saw a puffin. Corban, Tom & Sandra are great hosts and we had great weather!

Beautiful cottage. Done everything we wanted – Old Man of Hoy, Martello Tower, Hill of Whilte Hamar Wildlife Reserve. Weather mixed but we stayed dry as the worst was overnight. Many thanks for the delicious basket of goodies 🙂 Kendall has loved his long walks.
