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!
