Heatherlea, hotel in Kirkwall

Heatherlea is set in Kirkwall, 16 km from Maeshowe, 18 km from Standing Stones of Stenness, and 19 km from Ring of Brogdar.

where do I start? The hosts were so friendly I felt no request would have been an issue. All very relaxed. Food was excellent, as was the banter. Location fabulous, short stroll to shops and bars. We were lucky enough to have a harbour view which was very much appreciated. Now I know why Heatherlea got such a high rating on Booking.com, worthy of all good comments. Our room had every facility anyone could look for, even a dressing room. Honestly, I would recommend this property in a heartbeat, worth every penny and a lovely treat. Definitely coming back. Thanks to our hosts, you were lovely.

    Decent breakfast cooked to order. Charming old building with history. Great location in a quiet part of town, 5-min walk into the centre along a delightful small street. Shower surprisingly powerful. Our few encounters with the staff were good. Lovely breakfast room.

    Very quiet at night. Nice dining/ hanging area with good kitchen supplies. Laundry facilities were clean and easily available, with a line to hang clothes in the fresh Kirkwall air. Staff were very welcoming and helpful. Great hostel stay! Bit of a walk into town, but then again who doesn't love a brisk Scottish stroll?
