lovely, comfortable, quiet room. we enjoyed our stay very much.

Sheila United States of America

Ardconnel B&B is exceptional in every way, not the least being the helpfulness and friendliness of Theresa. Staying there made my Orkney trip even more memorable.

Andrew United States of America

Nicely located B & B about a 5 minute drive from Kirkwall. I didn't walk it but the claim is 20 minutes which I can believe. It would be a lovely walk along the shoreline. Excellent room with all of the necessary facilities including tea and coffee making capability. Comfortable bed. Plenty of parking. More than adequate WiFi. The host - Teresa - is very friendly and helpful. She provided an excellent breakfast each morning based on filling out a form the previous evening. The breakfast area is quite large permitting the tables to be well spaced. I would certainly recommend Ardconnel to any of my acquaintances that may be heading to Orkney.

Lionel United States of America

Catherine United States of America

location, lovely quiet and clean, lots of hot water, lovely owner

Catherine United States of America

Fantastic host. Fantastic HUGE room. Clean facilities and well stocked. Off the main road. Super relaxing and quiet. Exactly what I wanted to recharge those mental and physical batteries. Breakfast was great. I have some food allergies and the host was very observant and respectful to those. Will recommend to friends and family for their trips and would stay there again !

Diana United States of America

Super breakfast! Theresa was so friendly and caring that we were happy!

Catherine United States of America

Our host, Teresa, made us feel right at home. She was very attentive to our needs. Breakfast was fantastic, coffee was the best so far in Scotland! We left feeling that we had made a new friend! Being just outside the small town of Kirkwall, we slept in the quiet country, but only a few minutes from downtown, providing the best of both worlds.

Scott United States of America

Theresa took good care of us. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Karen United States of America

Lovely owner/proprietor, helpful and very friendly
