Fantastiskt trevlig. Bäst på Orkney! Trevliga rum. Riktigt bra frukost för pengarna. Tillmötesgående och ytterst hjälpsam personal (ägare).

Company info

Albert and Aileen invite you to share and enjoy their hospitality at Grainbank Mews. We have previously built up and ran a successful guest house in Kirkwall for over 10 years and take that knowledge and experience with us. We aim to provide an excellent standard of accommodation for visitors and travellers alike. We are both from the Orkney Islands and have a vast knowledge of the area and can help make the most of your time during your visit. We have 4 children, Annie 12, Ruby 10, Eliza 6 and Bertie 2 who you may meet during your stay. We have a super friendly Hungarian Vizsla dog called Freyja too, she doesn’t go into the guest house though :) For this reason we don’t accept any pets unfortunately. We like to eat out and enjoy the outdoors. We are happy to help with any information you may require to help make your stay in Orkney a memorable one.
