"We stayed in the apartments which were simply perfect. Ample parking; excellent location which means you can walk to everywhere in Kirkwall and drive anywhere on main island. The apartments had a huge amount of space and a nearby Lidl and Tesco meant that it was easy to self cater with the facilities provided. A lovely bath and comfortable bed."

"Friendly staff, especially in the restaurant which also had great meals. Room was a bit jaded, with view of a wall and low doorway into a tiny bathroom. Parking was a pain with time limits outside and the free space round the back not inspiring confidence about the security of our bikes."
