exquisite, what a beautifully decorated guest house , Kim and Amar have thought of everything, the attention to detail was evident in every way from the tv over the spar to the lighting in all the rooms , the views were beautiful and mesmerising, Kim greeted us and explained breakfast was not included however they had provided cereal , fruit , bread and accompaniments along with a fridge full of complimentary drinks and snacks , the bed was comfortable and the shower amazing , this property deserves much more than a ten out of ten. Location is central, we were literally 10-20 minutes from all major sites.

Featuring views of Scapa Flow, Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast is a detached house in a rural location near Stromness. Free WiFi and free private parking is available on site.

Every room at this bed and breakfast is air conditioned and comes with a flat-screen TV. You will find a kettle in the room. For your comfort, you will find free toiletries and a hairdryer.

Lindisfarne is run by a local family who created a warm and welcoming Bed & Breakfast for Orkney visitors. It’s conveniently located on a quiet road just outside of Stromness (in view of the ferry terminal and just 15 minutes from some of Orkney’s most exciting archeological sites). Our room was spacious, very clean, well laid out, and had a nice view of the neighboring farms. There was a shared sitting room to enjoy a cup of tea and plan our Orkney adventures. The breakfast was fantastic!

    Lovely responsive host. Great location in centre of Kirkwall. Locksafe for front door. Quiet. I stayed in January. Central heating in living room works well, and bathroom is warm too with a good, but compact size shower.

    Victoria Cottage was quiet, comfortable, clean, well equipped and in a great location. The owners were very responsive to any questions. There is convenient car parking nearby, and shops at the bottom of the road (less than 100 metres from the property). Overall, a great place to stay.
