We stayed here for 3 nights as part of our Orkney adventure. A lovely site overlooking the sea, we had an enjoyable walk down to the beach and along the coast one day and then took the van down to the Tomb of Eagles the next (a fascinating place). There is a toilet and sink if you need it. The farm has chickens and lots of wild rabbits, and we spotted a short-eared owl, Curlews and Oystercatchers from our pitch. Very friendly owner and a warm welcome.
Lovely people, lovely site
Stayed on this site for over 5 weeks whilst finding and buying a house, and couldn't have asked for more lovely views or nicer people. Cindy works hard to keep the site tidy and is always gardening. Perfectly situated for touring the whole of the Orkneys you couldnt want better than this for a small peaceful site.
Well maintained and located site
As previous reviewers have said, this is a pretty site overlooking an extensive sea view. The owners have put in a lot of work to produce the result we now see. All pitches are hard standing, the gardens are lovely, and there are even benches next to each pitch. The recycling facilities are comprehensive and innovative. We enjoyed being awakened by a cockerell at 7am. It makes for an early start to whatever you have planned!
Pleasant site
We stayed for our last 3 nights on Orkney after 3 nights at the super CL at Evie. A pleasant site and well laid out, the sea view was not as good as it might have been due to the height of the recently planted shrubs. We did go down to the little cove one evening and saw the basking seals on the rocks - very tranquil. As a previous review said, there are a lot of fowl running loose with lots of young.

Lovely three days
My wife and I and our adult daughter spent three days touring around the Orkneys in January 2014. We put our caravan on site at the Pool Farmhouse site. We were overlooking the ocean on one side and beautiful rolling pastures every where else. The site is well placed if arriving in the Orkneys at St. Margaret's Hope ferry terminal. We were greeted every morning by a small retinue of poultry looking for some scraps of toast. Absolutely delightful. Certainly recommend this site.
