Bellavista Guest House, hotel in Kirkwall

Bellavista Guest House enjoys a location in Kirkwall, 13 miles from Ring of Brogdar and 12 miles from Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre, Burray.

Nice place and people here. The room was fine though the double bed and room made it a little tight since the room was small but that was not a problem really. Overall the place was fine.

Everything. The room, the bathroom, the shower, the breakfast, but foremost the owners and their work re-habing the house and future plans. Very exciting!

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Stromness

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast offers accommodations in Stromness, 4.2 miles from Standing Stones of Stenness and 4.6 miles from Maeshowe.

We loved our visit to Orkney, and Lindisfarne B&B did not disappoint us. Staff was friendly and informative, breakfast was delightful, and location was quiet and peaceful. We arrived on a late ferry, but the B&B is minutes from the Stromness terminal and they were ready to receive us in their home. If we ever return to Orkney we will be happy to stay here again.

    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?
