Offering a garden and quiet street view, Shorelands B&B is situated in Kirkwall, 2.9 km from Scapa Beach and 17 km from Maeshowe. Featuring sea and garden views, this guest house also includes free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The host(s) are lovely, the breakfast was delicious, the room was great. It had a really good combination of privacy in our room as well as comfortable common areas that made it feel like we were just staying with the family. Nicky was able to accommodate us for the guided tour (a later start time) and I'm so glad it worked out - the tour was one of my favorite parts of the overall trip to Scotland.

There is a seating and a dining area in all units. The units at the guest house are equipped with a private bathroom and bed linen. Runa Guest House is the perfect place to stay if you prefer a place in the countryside. The view are wonderful and even if it looks far away from both Stromness and Kirkwall you can safely choose to stay here. You can visit the nearby Kicthener Memorial (not to crowded) and there is only a short drive to the main attractions. Robert is a very friendly host and is willing to give a good advice or two on what to see on Orkney. Hopefully we will be back sometime in the near future.
