Grainbank Mews, a property with a garden, is set in Kirkwall, 16 km from Standing Stones of Stenness, 18 km from Ring of Brogdar, as well as 17 km from Ness of Brogdar.

Thank you to Albert and Aileen for a wonderful stay at Grainbank Mews. The room was beautiful and sparkling clean, with a delicious breakfast prepared for us each morning. Great location, just outside Kirkwall and a couple minutes' drive to all the shops and restaurants. We were really curious about life on Orkney, and Albert was very kind and informative, even pointing us in the direction of the 'Orkney Dictionary' (which I bought!) This place is a treasure and we would love to stay again the next time we are in town.

    This accommodation is set in a quiet location but only 2 minutes walk from the main road that has a regular bus service to Kirkwall, Stromness and Skara Brae. This is a comfortable, clean and homely bungalow. Ideal for a few days to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Islands. Our host was always available if required and the cream tea that awaited us was most welcome and a lovely touch.

    The houses were new builds, super comfy, well equipped, well maintained and in a great location. Nice view down to the sea, excellent location for bird watching and well located for getting to all areas of the island. Robbie and Eileen were exceptionally friendly hosts and super helpful. We loved the welcome gift of treats and dairy products. If we’re lucky enough to get back to Orkney we would definitely stay at Cottiscarth.

    Very well constructed lodge. Despite some strong winds and snow during our stay, the lodge was cozy and the underfloor heating was effective. Lodge was well equipped and the owners had left some typical Orkney produce for us on our arrival. Great location for exploring Orkney. Very flexible hosts, accommodating late change in booking due to disrupted ferry travel. Looking forward to a future stay.

The room was beautiful and luxurious Windows looking out to the loch. Beautiful bathroom with toiletries provided. Bed super comfy. Location was wonderful close to everything but in a quiet area. We loved our stay and would recommend highly
