The apartment was well equipped and is small (as the images showed) but the location more than makes up for that - very close to the bus station and High Street.

Castle yards is in an excellent location. 5 mins from Kirkwall town centre, bus station & tourist information centre and of course Magnus Cathedral. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
