    “We had a very warm welcome from Nicky upon our arrival and were shown to our beautiful room which looked out towards the harbour. Everything was so well organised, Nicky explained everything and gave us our menu cards for breakfast the next day....”

    “Everything was amazing, the hosts were kind and generous. 5 of us booked 3 rooms and we all had great experience. Their lounge area is wonderful as well. I would definitely recommend it.”

    “Very friendly welcoming hosts. Central location. Family room was a really good size- one small thing that didn’t affect our stay but might be worth looking at is the location of the TV. Guest lounge was well stocked. Breakfast great.”

Nicky Bichan
Family run bed and breakfast, only five minutes walk from the heart of Orkney's capital, Kirkwall. Spacious bedrooms all with en-suite. Spectacular views over Kirkwall, the West Mainland and the North Isles. Relax in the guest lounge next to an open fire and enjoy the finest breakfast using the best of Orkney produce. Free Wi-Fi, and parking spaces are available. Your friendly hosts have a passion for Orkney, which is sure to make your stay memorable.
Nicky and Kirsten Bichan live on the premises with their three young children. There is also a small friendly dog, which is kept entirely in the private part of the house. This means that we cannot accept any pets. There is a small outdoor seating area at the rear of the property, which guests are welcome to use.
We are 5-10 minutes drive from Kirkwall Airport, the Hatston Northlink terminal and the internal North Isles Ferry service. If arriving via the Scrabster-Stromness or Gills Bay-St Margaret's Hope ferry, there is a 25 minute drive to Kirkwall. Public transport to Kirkwall is available at both of these ferry terminals. The bus station is also only 5-10 minutes walk from our home.
