Offering a garden and quiet street view, Shorelands B&B is situated in Kirkwall, 2.9 km from Scapa Beach and 17 km from Maeshowe. Featuring sea and garden views, this guest house also includes free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The host(s) are lovely, the breakfast was delicious, the room was great. It had a really good combination of privacy in our room as well as comfortable common areas that made it feel like we were just staying with the family. Nicky was able to accommodate us for the guided tour (a later start time) and I'm so glad it worked out - the tour was one of my favorite parts of the overall trip to Scotland.

At the guest house, all units are allergy-free and soundproof. Additional in-room amenities include fruits and chocolates or cookies. Wow - everything was near perfect for our stay. Beautiful accommodations from the view and large window, to the comfortable bed, very nice bathroom, the thoughtful snacks and drinks left in our refrigerator, the simple breakfast before we started our day. So many sweet details covered, very hospitable and friendly host, an amazing shower downstairs for those who need a shower instead of using the huge jet tub in the attached bathroom, even laundry facilities.

Set in Stromness and only 6.7 km from Standing Stones of Stenness, Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. It is situated 7.5 km from Maeshowe and features a housekeeping service. Skara Brae is 10 km away and Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre, Burray is 39 km from the bed and breakfast. The location at less than 2 minutes from Stromness and probably 5 to the Stennes standing stones is PERFECT. The room was huge, all the house is very big, cute and clean. Deborah is very very welcoming and the breakfast she prepared was delicious!
