There is little to add to the review by Marius from Sep `23. We stayed at the Orcades in August 2024 as a family of 5, and apparently little to nothing has changed since then. Still, if you want a house with a lot of bedrooms that can host up to 8 people (There's sufficient beds for 10, but the seating capacity in kitchen and living room is limiteRead mored) without paying a fortune, the Orcades is well worth considering. You should just be aware that you might have to clean certain things yourself, and both equipment and furniture are ageing. Hide
