About this property
Cosy House in the heart of Kirkwall
- This Cute and Cosy house is located in the heart of Kirkwall. A 5 minute walk from the beautiful St. Magnus cathedral, Earls Palace and Museum. If you want to venture further out both the bus station and main harbour are within walking distance giving you easy access to the rest of Orkney and smaller isles.
The 2 main supermarkets are a 5-10 minute walk away and the street the house is located on is filled with small local shops.

Great little house over 3 floors, Rooms very clean and everything in the kitchen we needed except microwave but that wasn't an issue for us.Fast communication from hosts. 'Comfiest bed ever' was one of my childrens' responses when asked about his sleep, Eldest slept on a pull out which looked uncomfortable but he said it was fine, age 17 and nearly 6ft. youngest also slept on a pull out and said it was comfy, age 9No garden , but we literally ate in the evening, as out all day and slept in the place. so again, not an issue. great location to the town. No parking but free parking very close
