Our beds were extremely comfortable We had one queen bed and one king single The heater was adjustable so we were warm There was an antislip mat for the shower The kitchen downstairs was extremely large and well equipped with microwaves, airfryers, large stove, fridges and freezer. We were given individual trays for the fridge that we could write our room number on. Tesco wasnt far away, walking distance which had everything that we needed. We couldn't have been happier really. Well done Polruden

The units come with a flat-screen TV with streaming services, fridge, a coffee machine, a walk-in shower, bathrobes and a desk. Each unit comes with a private bathroom with slippers, while some feature sea views. At the bed and breakfast, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. Probably one of the best B&Bs I have ever stayed in. The room was spacious, the bed was soft and comfortable, and the owner prepared us a packed breakfast because we had an early boat. Next time in Kirkwall that's where I'll book again!

All units are fitted with a flat-screen TV with streaming services, dishwasher, a kettle, a walk-in shower, a hair dryer and a wardrobe. There is a seating and a dining area in all units. At the guest house, each unit is fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. Very nice, comfortable and clean independent apartment in a private house. Rooms are large, with very complete kitchen facilities, including fridge, refrigerator, etc., which makes that you can easily stay for long periods. Added bonus: the house is very eco-friendly. Support from the owner was very good (he definitely can provide good advice on what to do in Orkney). The location is ideal to explore the Orkney Mainland, and is close to all archaeological locations and from Kirkwall. Free parking is available on the property.
