We had an incredible 2 night stay here. Fyona and Colin went above and beyond to make us feel at home and we would 100% stay there again! Breakfast was delicious, the room was cozy but just what we needed and the neighbourhood was quiet. It's about a 20 minute walk to the shops in Kirkwall which was so perfect. Can't recommend enough!

10/10

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.
2-night trip

10/10

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.
7-night trip

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.
