“This location is superb--in the city center but just one block off the main thoroughfare. Great coffee shop and bakery next door and within a block or two of excellent restaurants. Two block walk to public parking. Very comfortable with all...”

“The apartment is beautifully renovated. It looks very elegant. It's in an historic building. It's downtown and still very quiet, away from the crowd of the cruise ships.”

“Location is ideal for central Kirkwall, on a quiet street only a short walk from the shops, bus stops and ferry port. Comfortable bed and well stocked with kitchen items if you're cooking in the apartment. Lovely local biscuits and milk were left...”
