Excellent facilities, comfy, all modern and brand new and had everything I needed for my stay. Superb location, quiet but just a short trip into town and was an excellent base for exploring Orkney. The lovely host Dorothy welcomed me when I arrived, and the locally made cheese, biscuits and shortbread were great!

A wonderful place to stay as long as you don't mind driving. It was semi centrally located to most sites you may want to visit while in Orkney. The staff was excellent and extremely helpful. Breakfast was delicious and prepared to order. The restaurant offered a nice variety of meals for dinner as well as beer, wine, and cocktails. The tv room/lounge was always available if you wanted somewhere to unwind. The staff was also kind enough to allow me to stay there a couple of hours after checkout while awaiting my ferry. I highly recommend this hotel.

Besides the unpredictable weather, Orkney offers a magical environment with something to interest everyone - including history, archaeology, wildlife, fishing, walking, beautiful beaches and other landscapes. Kirkwall and Stromness are exceptional for sightseeing and Orcadians are so friendly and genuine.

We stayed for three nights after eleven on Shetland.

We stayed for three nights after eleven on Shetland. We found great gluten free eating options in Kirkwall (I will review on Find me Gluten Free). We arrived very late on Friday. Saturday we spent in the many museums, historic buildings, galleries and shops of Kirkwall. We did one day trip by bus and ferryl to the excellent Sccapa Flow museum. Unfortunately the only day we had to do this was Sunday, when the buses are infrequent, so we had to spend most of the day at Scarpa Flow. On the monday, we were on the late night ferry to Aberdeen, and could not stay or leave our luggage in the apartment. So we hired a car - and visited the prehistoric monuments and the museum in Stromness before spending some at Scapa Beach. We ate in The Storehouse restaurant, which was really hospitable and the food was amazing, then getting a taxi to the ferry termina. We had visited a couple of islands in Orkney before, but this was our first time in these parts - we will bve back!

Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology.

Great coastal hikes. Unbelievable archaeology. Mellow people. Decent public transportation on Mainland. Long, rich history. Beautiful place. Good charity shops and much locally made jewelry. Welcoming services at the cathedral and the Catholic Church. Good restaurants, but suggest you make reservations in advance.

The Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel are wonderful and full of fascinating wartime history. Maeshowe was a great visit with the commentary from our guide full of humour and interest. Ring of Brodgar and Stenness - atmospheric - as was Skara Brae. The St Magnus Cafe in Kirkwall is a great, casual eating place and the Ayre Hotel for something more formal - both with very good food.

lovely clean apartment with great views of both Kirkwall and Scapa Beach. Very clean space, with extra helpful additions such as dishwasher with tablets, alongside and washing machine with pods to use if required. Comfortable bed. Self check in via lockbox is great, with access to the apartment up a flight up stairs. Kirkwall town centre is around a 20 minute walk downhill, uphill on the way back. Parking is very handy outside front door. Great Stay would recommend to use as a base to explore Orkney.

This is a beautiful apartment in an historic building in Kirkwall. Karen met us when we arrived and showed us around . It is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. It was also really quiet despite being in the centre of town just 2 minutes walk from the shops. The parking was easy and it was a lovely space to come back to after each day's adventures on Orkney.
