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.

This trip involves alot of moving each day to a new place. When we arrived here, alone with the view, the sheep, the loch and the windmills, we wished we had just spent a week at the Rymmon. Adorable trailerhome with every last detail, clean, roomy enough and relaxing. (You don't notice the house behind the hill:)

I gave this property 5 stars because there was nothing to dislike. Very nicely decorated and well equipped little house right in the center of Kirkwall that felt like a home from home. I had my choice of the two bedrooms and opted for the back bedroom which was wonderfully quiet with a comfy bed and choice of pillows. The welcome basket was very generous and the price for two nights was very reasonable. It is surrounded by shops and coffee places. I fully recommend this to anyone as a great option to a hotel.

    Self catering. We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Shona had left us a welcome tray and milk and eggs as well as fresh flowers. The cottage was very cosy and well furnished. It contained everything we needed. We have rented holiday cottages often in the past and Bachylis is one that we particularly enjoyed. . .

    The Castleyards apartments are right in the heart of the village within walking distance to all the sights plus restaurants and grocery stores, etc. The apartment is compact but contains everything you need to enjoy your stay. The shower was a decent size and had excellent water pressure. The owners were responsive to questions.
