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.

The room was a good size, good bathroom facilities, lovely breakfast room and everything was clean and fresh. The breakfast had a good choice and was always produced promptly and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. Expecially enjoyed the haggis for breakfast. Will certainly return.

A really great week on an enchanting island
We had the best of experiences possible. Everything was just perfect. All the furniture and fittings are as new and everything worked as it should. Couldn't find a fault. As a guest house you couldn't find better. Fyona is really very helpful with superb breakfasts.

Carefully planned guesthouse in Kirkwall suburb. Well maintained facilities, really clean, good breakfast option including vegetarian, ample off street parking. Only issue was key access following a late arrival, but Fyona graciously refunded for that night. Highly recommend!
