Graemeshall house is an extraordinary place. The detail, history, comfort, breakfast quality are exceptional. The innkeeper is a terrific resource for exploring Orkney, has some terrific stories about the property, and is a really nice guy too. We will be back.

We had an exceptional stay at Graemshall House. We had a suite that was beautiful, comfortable and cozy. The bed was very comfortable. The space included a small refrigerator and a lot of little extras like dainty little brownies. The bathroom had a lovely claw foot tub by a window overlooking the sea. It was so peaceful and the view was breathtaking. The host went out of his way to help us including helping us with a flat tire. The breakfast was delicious with a good variety of options to choose from. The only drawback is that the B&B is near the far end of the island from Stromness, but in our opinion, it is very much worth the drive.

Lovely historic home. Made very welcome by our hosts. The house is rural but close to a bus stop with buses to kirkwall which made it easy to pick up a rental car to tour the islands. Highly recommended.

Rest and Recuperation
It was wonderful. Neither my fiancée nor myself wanted to leave. The piece and quiet was wonderful. The breakfasts were wonderful as was our room. I cannot praise this hotel sufficiently. Whilst the hotel does not do evening meals there are plenty of plaves to eat elsewhere. My hope is that my fiancée and I will return as husband and wife. Certainly a five star rst and and recuperation location.

Absolutely amazing! The room was beautiful, comfortable and absolutely immaculate. Every detail had been thought of. Our host, John, made us feel very welcome. It was fascinating to learn about the history of the house (which is beautiful), and the breakfast was delicious. The peace and quiet was divine and the location is very convenient for getting everywhere. We were thoroughly spoiled! Will definitely be back!

Fantastic in every way!
This bed & breakfast is absolutely fantastic! The house, steeped in history, dates back to the 16th century. The Queen Mother visited the house for tea back in the 50's. It was an absolute privilege to have stayed there. John & Trish, the owners, are superb hosts, they could not have done anymore to ensure our stay was perfect. Ask John about the house & he'll love to tell you all about its history & its importance to Orkney. Room was very clean as was all the facilities. Breakfast was exceptional. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Certainly stay here again when we return to Orkney.
