Everything in “Downtown” Kirkwall is an easy walk of a block or 4. The artwork represents the area, quite lovely-got tickled at the stacked stones, became a fan of the stones on the beaches! Richard very easy to work with! Proximity to Archive Coffee (< a block)-so delicious!

A recently renovated holiday home located in Orkney, Binnaquoy features a garden. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is set 5.5 km from Maeshowe. We adored the amenities of the property as well as the prompt helpfulness of the owners. The bathtub and the dryer were very much appreciated. The facilities were spotless and the location was exactly what we expected (what a view!). We loved the kitchen food amenities that were provided, too. Thank you so much for contributing so much to our wonderful stay on Orkney!

All guest rooms in the hotel are equipped with a flat-screen TV. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at Stronsay Hotel also boast a sea view. The rooms at the accommodation have air conditioning and a desk. The hotel couple was very friendly and we had interesting conversations with them. The room was very nice and modern, and the bathroom and shower were very comfortable. The heater in the bathroom and the heater in the bedroom kept the rooms pleasantly warm. We could adjust both individually. We especially enjoyed the excellent food and service, which we were able to enjoy for six days.
