Orkney Island Holidays

Lovely ensuite accommodation and great food: "We have slept in the greatest of comfort We have dined off the fat of the land We have heard the seals singing, And watched the birds winging, On a Holiday beautifully planned.

"Guiding by experts with 20 years experience: You've done a fantastic job of thoroughly yet subtly introducing us to the gentle wonder of Orkney. You've given us a fine feel for your world."

"I didn't really know what to expect and I certainly was not disappointed. I found the flora and fauna so wonderful. I think the high spot for me was finding a Scottish Primula scotica with seven flowers on one stem. To think it is the only place in the world it grows and I am someone who has seen it, it is awesome."

"It has been a delight being guided by expert enthusiastic professionals whose broad knowledge (and 'spotting' skills) has informed and entertained us. Better by far than anything we had imagined - and Howard's birthday celebration exceeded all of the preceding 69!"

"No lone mournful cries. A crowd of bent-backed curlews Probe the grass-cleared field."

"The best way to get to know the real Orkney! Surely no-one leaves without a smile and a full memory bank."

"With many new experiences and thought provoking ideas, I have returned to Sussex a 'new' woman! Refreshed, replenished and re-educated. It was a wonderful and very special holiday with you in the Orkneys."

"The way you organise things just suits me down to the ground:-- not too early a start; a leisurely walk sometime in the day; some birdwatching, some searching for wildflowers; an archaeological site or two; splendid food; and always good, congenial company."

"It really was a great holiday - what do we remember? Paul and Louise, the perfect hosts. The Orkney Islands - a superb location. All kinds of weather - sun. wind and rain. Wonderful food - Jan, Claire and Robert. Several new friends, they've been here before! Transport by bus and ferry, zodiac and plane. Birds were aplenty, some hard to name! What was so special, it's hard to explain. We loved it all and will come back again!"

"A relaxed atmosphere with small groups of like-minded people: We learned so much and laughed a lot - such fun! We'll be back."

"We are so grateful for the way you use your talents to share the things you appreciate and value, your knowledge and expertise to open our eyes and ears to things new to us. And each year is new, and we come away full of light and air, colours of sea and rocks, and renewal of joy. Its also due to you that people who come as strangers quickly become a friendly group."
