Julia and Chris arranged me myself stayed in a double-deck room for 4 nights. Very helpful couple of them. Peedie's small but everything's clean and tidy for use. A very comfortable living room with useful info there. Just like a family house. Very good location at the corner of the lake. More

We stayed at the Peedie for 2 nights while visiting orkney. our couples' room was a bit small but really nice & cozy. During our stay we had a medical problem, in which Julia & Chris helped us a great deal, and made what could be a terrible experience into a very pleasant stay. All in all, highly recommended! More

Stayed in twin room which was quite cluttered with oversized table and dining chairs. Flat screen tv in room was nice touch but with just one shower/loo for three rooms (prob 6 people) was a bit difficult in the mornings. Separate kitchen and decent lounge in different section of hostel with another bedroom and bathroom attached so you'd have to... More

Although it was about 20 years since I last stayed in a hostel, I ended up booking this for one night as decided on a last minute solo trip to orkney and couldn't get 4 nights accomodation in the kirkwall hotel or St. Ola hotel (the other two places I stayed at - see seperate reviews). I entered the place... More

This was my second time staying here (first time in 2008, for 2 nights). This time I stayed for 8 nights. There's been a change in ownership, and several improvements have been made. There are 2 kitchens available. The one on the first floor is older and very small, but is still well equipped. There's a new, larger kitchen on... More

This is probably one of the more comfortable hostels I've stayed in. A little hard to find (it was dark and raining at the time though) but the stay was quality and value for money. Didn't get to meet the staff personally, but they were friendly and understanding on the phone (since we booked late) and all the facilities worked.... More

4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2009

Great little hostel. Small rooms and small kitchen. No common area but sink, tables, chairs and TV in the rooms. Very friendly caretaker. Very clean rooms. Just one shower/toilet for all 3 rooms so not the place for a leisurely shower - got a bit 'used' as the night went on. Still, great hostel, recommended. More
