Family run B&B with a wonderful atmosphere. We arranged our stay with Alice, nothing was a problem. Erik conjured up an amazing breakfast for us on request. Both husband and wife live their B&B and it really shows in the accommodations. Every detail has been worked out.

Everything. Rooms, beds and towels were pristine, rooms equipped properly, shower hot enough and with sufficient pressure. Breakfast was delicious and had lots of flexibility to accommodate dietary restrictions. The place is well located, just 20min walk (or 5min drive) to the centre of Kirkwall.

    Self catering. We were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. Shona had left us a welcome tray and milk and eggs as well as fresh flowers. The cottage was very cosy and well furnished. It contained everything we needed. We have rented holiday cottages often in the past and Bachylis is one that we particularly enjoyed. . .

    The Castleyards apartments are right in the heart of the village within walking distance to all the sights plus restaurants and grocery stores, etc. The apartment is compact but contains everything you need to enjoy your stay. The shower was a decent size and had excellent water pressure. The owners were responsive to questions.
