Very friendly, welcoming host who was keen to help with advice about places to go, things to do and accommodate all our requests (eg Gluten free breakfast) with a cheerful disposition. The facilities were spotlessly clean and the location was ideally situated for our needs, although for others it might be a little too far out of the main centre of town. Having a safe space to park our car was also very much appreciated.

It is a delightful place, homey, comfortable, clean, loved the artwork and extra touches. It is located very close to heart of the city so we could walk most places. It is a perfect place to stay and take day trips to the amazing neolithic sites on Orkney. We were lucky to meet our hosts who were lovely and gave us all sorts of tips about Kirkwall and places to see.

The Bellavista was the perfect clean and cozy homebase for us during our Stay in Orkney. The rooms were really comfortable and Sandra the owner was very helpful and generous in letting us check in early and use the laundry facilities. It’s also a great location looking over the water and within walking distance to town. Thanks for a great stay!

Fiona and Colin were brilliant hosts. The breakfasts are fresh and cooked to order, along with a wide selection of cereals and juices. Our room was spotless and roomy, with a big closet for hanging up rain-dampened clothes. It’s a 20-minute walk to the centre of Kirkwall, or a 6£ cab ride if you’re coming back from the pubs. There is ample parking on the property.

    The house is perfect and an ideal location for all main Orkney attractions on the main island. We also loved the hot tub and the weather was great for most of the week. Plenty of space to chill and relax. Excellent space for a family of 6 and loved the living room upstairs. Very novel but works very well. Everything needed for a top notch self catering house. And the welcome pack was AMAZING! A fantastic touch by Sarah the host. Highly recommend.
