Arriving late off the Northlink ferry is sometimes a challenge for getting booked into places and obtaining keys and parking can be an issue. This however was perfect with its own car park and the room keys and a welcome note left for my arrival.
The room was prepared ready for my arrival, heating and lights on and curtains closed. The en-suite room was warm and comfortable with all the usual shower gel, shampoo, tea and coffee etc.
The breakfast was perfect and the owners/staff very welcoming and friendly. I've definitely found my place for when work takes me to Orkney :-)

An incredibly beautiful, cosy accommodation where you have to feel comfortable. Beautiful location near the sea and very clean. Thank you for the really lovely welcome kit. The host was easy to contact. Also a big thank you to the wonderful, lovely neighbours who have helped me so much with my car problem!
Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travellers who prefer unfussy accommodation with a personal touch. They are usually family-run, and your host will provide local recommendations and optional meals. Often cheaper than regular hotels, guest houses can also feature a cosy living room and a garden.
Really lovely host and very helpful. Well organised and equipped flat. The food (bread, butter, milk etc) was all a lovely surprise and as it happened much needed and appreciated! Great location and Stromness is beautiful.
Janice is a superb host, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable about the area, and makes a great breakfast. Make sure you ask for her fresh fruit plate! The studio itself is spotless, spacious and well equipped. I will certainly be back when I return to Orkney.
Loved the place. Great location, very quiet, clean, comfortable. Host was very friendly, nothing was any trouble to him but respected your privacy.
Communal cooking and dining area was fab.
The hosts made the place extra special. Very helpful and accommodating. A lovely family owned place. Very relaxing. Rooms clean and quiet. Nice meeting other guests in the lounge room. Close to Kirkwall centre. Great place to stay for a few or several days.
Great location - quiet and peaceful with lovely views from the deck. It was clean and well appointed. The tub in the bathroom was a bonus. Good communication with the hosts.
Lovely responsive host. Great location in centre of Kirkwall. Locksafe for front door. Quiet. I stayed in January. Central heating in living room works well, and bathroom is warm too with a good, but compact size shower.
Location was just outside of town, about a 30-minute walk from the centre or a quick trip by bus from the nearby bus stop. Laura and Brian were charming hosts, friendly and full of advice but unintrusive. My single room was quiet, tastefully decorated, and had a very comfortable bed with quality linens. There was a good choice of usually cold foods for breakfast, but one day Laura made delicious banana pancakes. The property was very clean. The best British B&B I’ve ever stayed in. I hope one day to return.
Great hosts and very nice accommodation in great location. Really well equipped. Comfy beds!
