Thank you to Albert and Aileen for a wonderful stay at Grainbank Mews. The room was beautiful and sparkling clean, with a delicious breakfast prepared for us each morning. Great location, just outside Kirkwall and a couple minutes' drive to all the shops and restaurants. We were really curious about life on Orkney, and Albert was very kind and informative, even pointing us in the direction of the 'Orkney Dictionary' (which I bought!) This place is a treasure and we would love to stay again the next time we are in town.

Fantastic stay here, the perfect place to explore Orkney from. Dorothy was wonderful and ensured everything was well organised, clean and comfortable. The hot tub was fantastic after exploring outdoors on the colder, windier days. A short drive to Kirkwall township in a quiet setting. Highly recommended!

Fantastic stay at Karrawa, Fyona was so welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious, comfortable and ideal for my trip; very clean and quiet for a good night's sleep. The location is ideal, just a short 15mins walk to the centre of Kirkwall and the breakfast was brilliant. Would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a great stay.
