We stayed for 1 night at the end of April, and if we go back to Orkney, we will definitely stay here again. The B & B is on a quiet street near the harbour's edge, just a short walk from the city centre. We felt very welcomed from the moment we arrived, and our hosts were helpful with any... More

Our family stayed 4 nights in April 2012, enjoying John and Shirley's beautiful rooms, warm hospitality, knowledge of Orkney, and wonderful breakfasts. Many extras added to our comfort. This is a perfect place to stay, on a quiet residential street close to the heart of Kirkwall.

Well, I've been to a few B & Bs in my time and I can honestly say that this 3 bedroom B & B cottage of Shirley and John is probably the best that I have stayed at. The rooms emaculate, the breakfast just something to be seen and eaten to be believed and one couldn't ask for more hospitality... More

We have just spent three nights with Shirley & John and cannot praise them enough for their hospitatlity and amazing breakfasts. The rooms were spotless, clean towels daily and for a B & B, excellent supply of bathroom necesities. Nothing is too much bother for them, they are a tourist information on their own. There are leaflets in the rooms... More

We felt like honoured guests. Nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was exceptional - a real taste of Orkney. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable. Shirley and John were a mine of information and took pride and pleasure in introducing their island.
