The units come with a flat-screen TV with streaming services, fridge, a coffee machine, a walk-in shower, bathrobes and a desk. Each unit comes with a private bathroom with slippers, while some feature sea views. At the bed and breakfast, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. If I ever find myself in Kirkwall again, I'll definitely stay here. I stayed in a big, probably recently renovated studio room with its own entrance, and basically didn't want to leave the room. The breakfast was amazing and the host the loveliest person. I slept well and was very well fed also!

All units are fitted with a flat-screen TV with streaming services, fridge, a kettle, a shower, bathrobes and a wardrobe. Additional in-room amenities include chocolates or cookies. The units have a private bathroom, slippers and bed linen.

Ness of Brogdar is 20 km from the bed and breakfast, while Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre, Burray is 49 km from the property. Kirkwall Airport is 37 km away. The bedroom was super cozy, with a very comfortable bed and wide closets, very clean. The included breakfast was good, and the days we opted for the fully cooked breakfast it was also really worth it! Virginia, the hostess, was lovely and gave us amazing tips for things we shouldn't miss in the island, and also provided some local knowledge for our best experience. Good recommendations also for dinner!
