Monthly Rentals in Cullivoe

Wonderful place to stay in a wonderful part of the world. I can't rate the Peerie Neuk highly enough - it's a lovely place to stay with everything you'd need which seems remarkable in a relatively small place...but it never feels cramped. Homely would be the word for it. And Melanie's a great host - very quick to reply to queries. So...highly recommended!

This is our second stay in Varda. The cottage is ideally situated for visiting our friends who live on Yell. We really appreciate the design and layout of the cottage. It is uncluttered and spacious for the two of us. There is a good selection of kitchenware. It has a large fridge/freezer; ideal for 'island life' , where serious shopping is a ferry journey away and advance meal planning is essential. Our bed was very comfortable. The central heating system is very flexible, allowing you to control the temperature in each room. The views from Varda are incredible. An inspiration to get out walking; down to the sea at Whalefirth Voe, or take the track to the Old Herring Station at Hamar. Or you could simply look out the window and watch a local sheep dog trainer teach 'new dogs old tricks' in the field opposite. Shirley has been an excellent host on both our visits, although I understand she does not live locally.

Midfield Croft is a great base for exploring Northmavine and the Northern Isles. It's a sympathetically updated traditional croft house (with perhaps the exception of the excellent and modern bathroom with both stand-up shower and bath). The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge was oh so comfortable. Oh, and room for three bedrooms upstairs (we used the twin). Bruce and Family were lovely. It's clearly a working croft but they all found time to chat and make suggestions for places to visit. We were even warned about a seasonal hazard, namely that the starlings were nesting! We will always remember eating breakfast and watching chickens and rabbits just outside and the new born lambs in the nearest field. We will also recall the stubborn starlings. Every morning we had to check under the car bonnet and the boot sill for their repeated attempts at nest making! In short, highly recommended.

Inga is a wonderful, helpful and communicative host. Sarpoe's Kitchen cottage is tastefully furnished and equipped to a high standard. The location is fantastic and perfect for those seeking peace and quiet. We would love to come back again.
