Really enjoyed our stay here. Found a couple of bugs in the bedroom (looked like pill bugs we have in the states). Not threatening. Beds were comfortable but were more the size of queen beds instead of King as advertised. Still, none of this would keep me from staying there again.

A really great week on an enchanting island
We had the best of experiences possible. Everything was just perfect. All the furniture and fittings are as new and everything worked as it should. Couldn't find a fault. As a guest house you couldn't find better. Fyona is really very helpful with superb breakfasts.

Carefully planned guesthouse in Kirkwall suburb. Well maintained facilities, really clean, good breakfast option including vegetarian, ample off street parking. Only issue was key access following a late arrival, but Fyona graciously refunded for that night. Highly recommend!

Nice and cosy guesthouse. We had a big room with a big bathroom and shower. Everything was absolutely clean. Fyona is very friendly and helpful. You can choose from a list your breakfast and there are also cereals, fruits and more! On the floor there ist also a refrigerator with water and chocolate. Thank's for the nice stay.
