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.

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?

We had a very pleasant stay at the Royal Oak guesthouse. The room was clean and comfortable. Alice and Eric were very nice and helpful. Eric helped me fix a problem with my bicycle which was stored safely in the garage. The breakfast was a treat and we were able to get a washing done. We will surely return when we are in the neighborhood.

    Fantastic stay at Karrawa, Fyona was so welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious, comfortable and ideal for my trip; very clean and quiet for a good night's sleep. The location is ideal, just a short 15mins walk to the centre of Kirkwall and the breakfast was brilliant. Would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a great stay.
