Royal Oak Guesthouse

Orkney

Royal Oak Guesthouse, a property with a shared lounge, is situated in Orkney, 2.2 km from Scapa Beach, 17 km from Maeshowe, as well as 19 km from Standing Stones of Stenness. This guest house features free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The location was good. The food was excellent. The rooms were comfortable. There was a lounge with games, sofas, and a large TV, but we were too busy to take advantage of it. Eric, the host, was very friendly and accommodating. He got us everything we asked for. The water was very soft, so only a small amount of soap or shampoo was needed. It didn't feel like we were intruding in someone's home. It felt more like a mini hotel with a fair amount of privacy for coming and going. Also, we had a ground floor room where we didn't have to drag suitcases up, which is hard being older adults. The stay was very enjoyable.

Offering a garden, the property is located within 16 km of Standing Stones of Stenness. Orkney Fossil and Heritage Centre, Burray is 20 km from the bed and breakfast and Skara Brae is 26 km away. My husband and I enjoyed our stay with Laura and Brian immensely. There we cookies, pastries, tea and coffee really available upon arrival and throughout our entire stay. For the self catered breakfast, there were lots of hot/cold cereals, breads, pastries (gluten-free options), juices, yogurts, local cheeses, and all the fixings. Each morning, Laura had scones or some other baked good heating in the oven. Heating your own food for dinner or eating take out was an option, too, which we took advantage of one evening. Our room was very beautiful, modern, and cozy with a very comfortable bed. The whole place was spotless. Laura suggested restaurants and places of interest off the beaten path. She was a gracious, thoughtful, wonderful host - some of the best hospitality on our month long trip! Thanks for everything, Laura. We loved our stay with you. Highly recommend.

We were very impressed with the unit, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. There was a very nice restaurant right across the road. We were a bit surprised at how far the ferry terminal was from the room. From google maps it looked like a 7 minute walk, but would have been at least 20-25 min, so be sure to take the bus from the terminal. Being a bit technically challenged had a bit of trouble figuring out the washer/dryer, but once we got that figured out it was so nice to get some clothes cleaned.
