“Wee gem in the heart of Stromness”
This is the perfect house for a trip to Orkney. Situated in the heart of Stromness, it is only 2 minutes from the ferry - perfect after a long journey. Stromness is a lovely little town with narrow cobbled streets, traditional shops and good food and pub options. It is also the perfect base from which to explore Orkney. The house is exceptionally well kitted out and really does cater for all needs - a real home from home. It was very warm and comfortable and we were provided with more than enough towels etc. We were also delighted that it was dog friendly and with an enclosed garden it was easy to let our chocolate lab out safely. All in all, we thought Franklins view was an ideal place to enjoy a fantastic week in Orkney - can't wait to go back!

“Excellent location! sea views, and all mod cons”
very pleased with the house ,had every thing we needed for our stay. It was very clean and tidy, shower room/wet room was really good. Plenty space for the dogs to move about and the views are fantastic. What i would suggest is to have gates to make the garden more secure for pets, my dog stepped over the wall to next door a couple of times and we had to source some wood to use as gates. If we did not do so the dogs would have just wondered out on to the street . But apart from that it was Fantastic!,, we will be back

“Great location-great house”
A very conveinently located property for visiting the sites Orkney mainland has to offer and for visiting the other islands. We very much enjoyed our stay- and the house had everything we needed. We found it well equipped and very clean. It was very sunny weather while we were in Orkney so the rear garden with its seating was excellent in the evening. There is no parking at the property but there is free public parking at the rear- at first we were a little concerned about this but it turned out to be no problem at all- there was always at least one space when we needed it.
