The Byre at Heddle was one of only two private residences on Mainland Orkney to receive a "Highly Commended," award from the Orkney Heritage Society for Architectural Merit in the bi-annual (2007-2009) Laura Grimond Awards.
East Heddle was awarded five star status by the Scottish Tourist Board, August 2009. As of this date 40 % of all 5 star self-catering properties in Orkney are now run by Orkneycrofts.com
Orkneycrofts.com has also been graded at the first time of inspection by the Green Tourism Business Scheme at a Silver Standard for environmental impact and business process.
We are confident that now we understand the full criteria required that we can improve this rating to the Gold award next year.
Orkney Brewery has secured a historic double, taking both first and second place in the prestigious Champion Beer of Scotland competition, which was held in Edinburgh on Thursday.
The brewery's 3.8 per cent Raven Ale won the overall title of Champion Beer, with its 4.0 per cent Red MacGregor ale placing second. The competition forms part of the Scottish Real Ale Festival, currently underway in the capital.
East Heddle Is nearly done. Six years in the making. It exceeds expectations, it is amazing, everything we could have dreamed.
Turriedale was graded as strong 4 star self catering by the STB last week (April 5th). The Byre retained 5 star status.
