"Very clean on arrival, just off the NC500 but not noisy. All amenities needed were provided. Service from Wayne was excellent, he introduced himself and gave recommendations and when we had need of some oven gloves, he gave us his pair and immediately ordered more to stock up. Had a slight issue with a shower tap which he got fixed the day after we left, and even text us to let us know he had fixed it. You won't find someone happier to make sure your stay is wonderful. Would certainly book...

Karrawa Guest House

10/10 Excellent
"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!"
