I would thoroughy recommend the chalets. They are clean,comfortable, well-equipped and most important when the weather is not so good, nice and warm.The views are wonderful and it is a convenient location from which to explore the island.

Stayed May bank holiday weekend 2013. Group of 8 couples. We all found the accommodation excellent, modern and well appointed with good quality kitchen equipment (important for self catering!). Location is quiet, away from main road with lovely views/sunsets over to Hoy. We saw Killer Whales in the bay, stunning. Would definitely return to this accommodation.

We had a great holiday in Orkney and some great weather The accommodation was ideal and fantastic for our small daughter. The little touches really made it: the children's footstool in the bathroom and the children's plates - and the complimentary bottle of wine! Wifi and daily breakfast bulletins were very useful. We will definitely come back when we are... More

Orkney is great for families and has some amazing places which both big and little adventurers can explore. Coming back to a chalet that is child friendly makes the visit even more enjoyable. Thank you for your comments and hope to see you and your lovely family back again soon! More

I spent a lot of time researching the perfect place to stay on Orkney and Buxa delivered in all categories. The chalet was warm, clean and fitted out to the highest specification and the complimentary wine, card and Orkney fudge we received from Kathy on arrival was a lovely touch. The view from the lounge area was outstanding, I don't... More

We didn't go in the end, so it seems odd to write a review, but the owner was exceptionally obliging and helpful with the information she sent us! Another time perhaps.... if the attitudes in the emails we received are anything to go by, the hostess is likely to be very congenial as well as a good source of local... More

We had a very happy Christmas in the Buxa Chalet which was well provisioned (incl. complementary wine and fudge!). Its well placed for Stromness and Kirkwall. Keith and Kathy could not have been more helpful and the views are stunning. Outstanding!

We travelled 800 miles to spend Christmas week in Orkney and we weren't disappointed. Buxa Farm Croft House was very warm and cosy and everything had been thought of. Spending Christmas away with two small children in the Croft House was like a home from home and I can't think of anything that the accommodation was lacking. The location is... More

We just spent Christmas in the Buxa Farm Chalets and had a lovely stay. The chalets are very well equipped with everything for a small family. The place was utterly spotless and you felt like you were the first people staying there, which is always a good start. The views were amazing. Would definitely stay again.
