At the guest house, each unit is fitted with a wardrobe, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, bed linen and towels.

The guesthouse is in a great location, near the town, near the shops and on the main bus route of the Mainland. Our room was lovely, a twin room and each person had their separate wardrobe and cupboard; the new bedding and towels were great as well. The hosts, Lorraine and John, couldn't have been more helpful. The communal kitchen and dining area had everything you could need, and it was a great place to meet people and exchange info about the islands and what interesting things were going on. We would thoroughly recommend staying at Polrudden.

I enjoyed my stay at the Runa Guest house very much. The owner is a knowledgeable tour guide on the Island, so he could answer any questions and had lots of excellent suggestions that enhanced my visit. The suite was clean and comfortable. The little kitchen was stocked with breakfast items. There is even a washing machine and dryer available for use. I highly recommend.

The location, the room, the shower, the bath tub (with TV!)... there is nothing to complain about. I don't know, what else you could wish for. Though no breakfast is included, plenty of options are provided for you so you can make up a little breakfast for yourself.
