Doris United States of America

The Heatherlea B&B was a wonderful place to stay in Kirkwall! Our room was lovely, with a nice bath, great shower and dressing room/closet. Debbie was a wonderful hostess and the made to order breakfast was delicious. Also - great WiFi! Highly recommend!!!

Lynn United States of America

This is one of the best BnB places we have ever stayed in! It was a great sized room that was spotlessly clean, with a separate room for your clothes which had a fridge in it. We loved the drawer with the tea and "goodies" in it which reminded us of some of the 5 star hotels we have stayed at. It is within a short walk of the centre, had a lovely view from the window, had great wifi. Breakfast was delicious and exactly how we like it. The owner is a lovely, friendly lady. There was space for our car in front of the property to park off road. We would try and stay here again next time we come to the Orkneys.

John United Kingdom

Location and view were splendid. Our hosts were warm and welcoming, and the room well-supplied (bath-robes were much needed after a busy day!). We really loved that we could even request a breakfast to be packed ahead of time for us to take on an early morning - such a thoughtful touch!

Leah United Kingdom

Breakfast was brilliant - plenty of choice and nice wee personal touches!

Chloe United Kingdom

During lockdown allowed us to use breakfast room for are takeaway dinner

Glenn United Kingdom

The location could hardly be any more convenient, and the service was absolutely wonderful.

William United States of America
