The hosts made us feel at home. My son had a great time playing in the yard with the kids. The hosts are native to Orkney so have a lot of knowledge to share. They run tours as well so highly recommend booking with them.

    “The location was perfect - a very close walk to Kirkwall's features so you don't have to take the car - the cathedral, palace, restaurants, shops - but in a quiet residential setting off the main streets. Nice view down the hill to the harbor and...”

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.
