Perfect location right in the heart of Kirkwall. All the main eateries and pubs are within a 2-5 min walk, however, it is quiet at night, so a good night sleep on the very comfortable bed is no issue at all. David emailed and text in advance to advise arrival procedures/keys etc & made sure we knew where to find everything. It was a great 2 bed apartment, well equipped & comfortable. I would happily recommend this apartment and visits to local sites (Skara Brae - 20 min drive) is a must, then pop to Yesnabe on west coast (A further 5 min drive) for some stunning cliffe-edge sightseeing. ##### Fraser Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juanella Aug 20, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Excellent situation in Kirkwall. ##### Juanella Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary Aug 11, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Central Kirkwall Location, easy access to shops Great Apartment in Great Location, very Central for Kirkwall.
