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.

• Roger (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay here. Found a couple of bugs in the bedroom (looked like pill bugs we have in the states). Not threatening. Beds were comfortable but were more the size of queen beds instead of King as advertised. Still, none of this would keep me from staying there again.
• Luke (10/5): Wonderful place to stay - I really enjoyed my stay here. I arrived very late and the lady stayed up just for me to let me in. Rooms were clean and tidy and I slept really well. Breakfast was delicious. I can't think of anything else the host could have done to make it more amenable! Location is a 30 minute walk from central Kirkwall, but it has free parking
