Stayed here at the end of the year when the weather was rough. It only added to the beauty of the scenery, with spectacular uninterrupted views of the bay and hills. Very well maintained site, with all we needed for our motorhome. The owners were so friendly and helpful, making us feel so welcome to their site. I note an earlier review stating that the owners weren’t available, which I think needs context. This is a working farm, where the owners supply all you need and give you the peace to enjoy the experience. They were very easily located next to the site as you arrive and we can’t praise them highly enough for the experience they provided. It is authentic countryside, with panoramic views, which we appreciated. Thank you, we will definitely return.

Quiet site, well positioned for touring Orkney Mainland

Stonehigh
The owners were away so we were greeted by their helpful friend who was looking after the site. There are great views over the sea to neighbouring islands and all site facilities were easy to use and accessible. We visited Birsay and the island beyond it (check tide times as you walk over a causeway to the island) and up to the lighthouse, then walked along cliffs. Evie bakery honesty shop definitely worth a visit, we got chocolate croissants freshly baked! We walked our dogs around the site for quick wees etc but needed to drive out for a longer dog walk which was no problem considering the site's location and choice of places to visit.

A beautiful location...

Stonehigh
Stonehigh is in a fantastic location and the scenery is wonderful. The site is very nice and has all you could need, but we did not receive the welcome other reviewers have suggested. The owners didn't come to find us, we had to go to them the following day and although we were there for 5 nights, we didn't see them again. The webpage suggests that there is a dog walk from the site and a motorhome drive over waste facility - this isn't correct. When we asked the owners about the dog walk, we were told there wasn't one. They also didn't really want us to take the dogs down a track off the site because it is farm land, so not such a dog friendly site as suggested on the webpage. The waste disposal requires a waste pipe as the drain is under the waste tap. This wasn't a particular issue for us but the information is misleading, and if we hadn't had a detachable waste hose, I'm not sure how we would have emptied the tank! Be aware that there is a wind turbine nearby and in normal wind conditions it isn't a problem but when the winds are strong, as it was for the time we were there, it can be consistently noisy! Overall, the site is very nice but we wouldn't visit again due to the lack of a dog walk area.

Great Views!

Stonehigh
Stonehigh is a lovely CL with fantastic views over the Eynhallow Sound to Rousay and the neighbouring islands. Expect high winds but the views and sunsets more than make up for it. Stonehigh is an ideal base for visiting Orkney. What more do you need for a relaxing time.
