Description from owner
Description
Charming little cottage ideally situated in the countryside, superb base for exploring all that Orkney has to offer. Only a short distance from many Neolithic sites such as Skara Brae, Maeshowe, The Ring of Brodgar and the Broch of Birsay. Free fishing lochs only minutes away.
The Peedie Hoose is well equipped with everything you'd have at home and perhaps even more. A welcome pack with basics, Orkney produce and wine is there for your arrival.
The owners live next door so are nearby to offer any help and advice should it be needed.
Bookings are normally weekly with Saturday being changeover day, however, shorter bookings may be arranged out with the busy season by contacting the owner direct.

“Peedie Hoose, Dounby”
Excellent. Lovely, well kept cottage with all we needed. Wendy, the owner, very friendly and helpful. Cottage in excellent location to visit all parts of Orkney Mainland.

“Perfect get-away retreat”
Spotless, airy and welcoming - a great place to call home when far away from the real thing. The Welcome Gifts were very much appreciated after a long day of traveling - milk, bread, butter, cheese, s… More

Response from the owner Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review, so glad you enjoyed your stay here. We have tried to make it a home from home for our visitors. I hope that you will come and stay again if you make the long journey back to Orkney! PS - I think the cats enjoyed your fiddle playing :)

“Fabulous cottage”
Great cottage, very comfortable and well equipped. We are a family of 4 and the outside space and swings were great for the children. Location great for exploring the island by car. Welcome pack was lovely too.

“Great wee house, perfectly placed for exploring Orkney!”
This is a well appointed wee house and perfectly placed for exploring Orkney and all it has to offer. There are a couple of hotels nearby where you can eat out (but book first!) or you can eat in and the kitchen is very well stocked. It's just the right size for a couple and has everything you need (including the owners cats if, like us, you are missing your own cat!!)

Response from the owner Thank you for your lovely review. We are indeed lucky to be in such an ideal location for exploring Orkney. We like to think that The Peedie Hoose is a home from home and a well equipped kitchen is a must. And, if you’re missing your cat from home, ours are always willing to say hello! We hope that you’ll come back to stay another time.

“The perfect family cottage to explore Orkney”
A lovely wee 'hoose' that was ideal for our needs. A great location (20 mins to Kirkwall, 20 mins to Stomness) with all tourist attractions easily accessible by car. The accommodation was well equipped, warm, spacious and comfortable. Wendy was very warm and welcoming - thanks for the wine, cheese & biscuits! Our kids had a great time and we'll definitely be back!

“Classy house in the sticks”
We wanted to stay somewhere near the Ness of Brodgar excavations, as I have been intrigued for years by Orkney's importance during the Neolithic. It was a perfect choice. Dogs loved it as much as… More

“Great holiday in wonderful surroundings.”
The house is small but very welcoming and very well equipped and comfortable. The position on the island is perfect for exploring all areas and visiting the wonderful ancient monuments.

Response from the owner 'Peedie' is our word for 'small' so yes indeed it is small we have tried to equip it with everything you might need for your stay. So glad that you enjoyed your time here and we hope you will come back again.

“Superb”
Impressively equipped, and tastefully done. Great views, nice eggs, only downside was the bumpy track to get there. This improved during our stay, through much effort by Heather McInnes. Safe for the dogs, and very welcoming. We're going back in a few weeks. Loved it. Unfortunately, it gave my wife ideas about how to improve the facilities at her holiday let in Alnmouth.
