Very friendly reception. Clean room. Only one, comfortable, chair. Seems little for a triple room. But this is the only remark. Walking distance from town center and public transport. Comfortable bed, maybe a bit small. Very quit residential are.

Comfortabel, friendly and easy to reach

Great place to stay in Kirkwall. Very clean and quiet. Beds comfortable.
Tucked away in a housing area but easy walk into town.
Breakfast was excellent and host lovely, nothing a problem. Porridge made to perfection 
Highly recommend on a trip to Orkney.

Great place to stay

The house doesn't look like a B&B until you drive up the long driveway to the parking area in the rear. Once we got there Tracey took great care of us. We had a new quiet room and the breakfasts were excellent. The restaurants in town were very busy but on our last night Tracey was able to get us a reservation at the Foveran, one of Kirkwall's best dining options. 

Great service in a quiet guesthouse

Lovely family run b&b in a quiet street in Kirkwall, Orkney Isles. 3 rooms are available and plenty of space for everyone to park on their drive. The room was a nice size and very clean and really well looked after.  The bathroom was big and the shower was great.  Stacey was really helpful and very friendly.  It's in a nice quiet street and close enough to town to walk in for supper or you can buy things from the nearby supermarkets.  Ask Stacey for eating out recommendations when you arrive. Breakfast was great. You prebook what time and what you would like the  night before and it was always ready on time and nice and hot and plenty of it.  Kirkwall itself is nice and central for getting to the main sites.

Great stay good breakfast highly recommend plenty of parking very clean

Very pleasant b&b with a capable and welcoming owner - Stacey. Our room was comfortable with a huge walk-in shower. Breakfast was excellent especially the delicious yogurt & fruit granola. We had a slight problem with the heating for the first 24 hours but Stacey sorted it out and after that everything was fine. We would go there again if in the area.

Comfortable B&B a 10 minute walk from Kirkwall town centre

Stacey is amazing nothing is to much . With covid on the go they the bed and breakfast cleaned and sanitised and all social distance adhere to. Plenty to eat at breakfast and food lovely, cooked to perfection plenty of teas to choose from. Room comfortable and not to hot at night beds so comfy after a day of travelling in orkney. Stacey also give a lot of helpful tips on were to eat and visit.

Amazing 👏 thanks so much for meeting our needs

Stayed at Castaways at the end of a cycle trip for five says. Found Stacey accommodating and obliging who offered advice and recommendations of where to go. I see some reviews say that information isn't provided about the area - to be honest - that's what the visitors centre is for as there is so much to do on the island's.

Breakfast was scrummy. Pre ordered night before (as that's how you cook porridge....), Stacey got to know our foibles and dealt with my gluten free need. 

Room was comfortable and shower was great. Big piece of advice for anyone staying in Kirkwall. If you want to eat out book in advance as finding a table in local restaurants is challenges.

Thanks for looking after us Stacey. 

Clean and comfortable with accomodating hostess

We stayed in the triple room which was plenty big enough for us and our teenager. The room was immaculate - very clean and well appointed (comfortable beds, tea/coffee/hot chocolate/shortbread, large shower in the en-suite, TV, toiletries etc).
  
The owner was friendly and welcoming.

Breakfast was pre-ordered, with a slip filled in the night before. The breakfast room had cereals and fresh fruit available and the cooked breakfast was served to us. We had freshly brewed coffee, oatmeal porridge and full
cooked breakfasts with poached eggs, which were cooked to perfection.  All was of excellent quality. 

All in all, a great experience.

Great quality all round

This is a wee gem in the heart of Kirkwall. I stayed here for one night after a dreadful experience at The Shore, and it was everything that I could’ve asked for. The location is really handy being less than a 10min walk from the main street, and the facilities are excellent. I was  delighted with my room which was  spotless and contained a large  comfortable bed and en-suite with a heated towel rail and power shower. There were a nice array of teas on offer, including some lovely shortbread and yummy hot chocolate, which I enjoyed whilst watching a film on the flat screen TV; there were also good options for breakfast. Generally the whole experience was super-chilled  and relaxing. Stacy was a brilliant and accommodating  host and I felt well-looked after and taken care of. This is my go to place the next time I visit Kirkwall - I wouldn’t bother with anywhere else now I now what’s on offer here.

A home away from home

Stayed here for 4 nights during a business trip,  stacey was the perfect host, good breakfast every morning to start the day. Roo  was lovely, nice and modern and very clean and well presented. A must place to stay.
