Fabulous stay. Spacious bedroom, the communal kitchen has good facilities, excellent breakfasts. The hosts were very attentive. Best of all, the hosts took time in helping us choose which areas and attractions in Orkney to visit. As a result we had the most wonderful time with our sightseeing, and really enjoyed our holiday in the Orkneys.

Fantastic stay here, the perfect place to explore Orkney from. Dorothy was wonderful and ensured everything was well organised, clean and comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic after exploring outdoors on the colder, windier days. A short drive to Kirkwall township in a quiet setting. Highly recommended!

    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.
