Royal Oak Guesthouse

We joined a trip in The Orkneys based in Kirkwall. This is a super guest house with recently upgraded rooms. It is a 10 minute walk from the centre of Kirkwall. It is close to the Lynnfield Hotel, which is top for food. Alice and Eric run a family style guest house which is very welcoming. Breakfast is individually cooked to order. Scrumptious.! One tip, If you are flying in to Kirkwall, preBook your Taxi to collect you !

An amazing guest house, owned and run by a young couple who went out of their way to be helpful, nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. We were a party of 5 and had 3 rooms, so we were kindly given the whole top floor of the guest house, which had a lovely cosy sitting area with facilities for making hot drinks, a microwave etc. We had a takeaway one evening and all sat around the table together. The rooms were very clean and cosy, and had everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Breakfast was first class and plenty to last the whole day. The hosts were very knowledgeable about Orkney and the surrounding islands, if they didn’t know the answer they would find it out. I would highly recommend this guest house, and will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Orkney. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.

Nice property just outside central Kirkwall. Good parking lot behind house, convenient to rooms.
