Andrew
Perfect stay! Conveniently located a 15min walk from Kirkwall centre, and plenty of free parking at the property. The room was spacious, well furnished, clean, and a comfortable bed. Fyona was an excellent host; warm and friendly full of knowledge. Breakfast was delicious, setting up perfectly for whatever the day brought.
Ashraf
Clean and quiet room, helpful and friendly staff, and walking distance from the town centre.
Fiona
This guest house is very welcoming and homely. Owner is lovely. Breakfast is great with plenty of choices. Only thing if you don’t have a car it’s a bit of a walk to centre of town. Bus stops near by and host can give details which is very helpful.

A short drive from Kirkwall town centre. Really good base for a visit to Orkney mainland.
Jorn
Extremely well maintained and clean property in residential neighborhood. Managers/owners are very helpful and nice.
Nicholas
Karrawa Guest House was great. Rooms were nice, clean, roomy, comfortable. Owners, who were also the staff, were very helpful, friendly, attentive. The rooms include breakfast, which is a full breakfast including made-to-order hot dishes -- food was good, the grilled tomato was a big hit in our family. The Guest House is in a quiet neighborhood (about a 20-minute pleasant walk to center of Kirkwall, or an easy bus or car ride).

Great place with an amazing breakfast
Amazing breakfast! I especially loved the mushroom.
The hosts were great & the location was very convenient. We were able to walk to dinner after a day of frazzled nerves from white knuckle driving.

We had an incredible 2 night stay here. Fyona and Colin went above and beyond to make us feel at home and we would 100% stay there again! Breakfast was delicious, the room was cozy but just what we needed and the neighbourhood was quiet. It's about a 20 minute walk to the shops in Kirkwall which was so perfect. Can't recommend enough!
Lynn
Excellent accommodation and lovely host. The breakfast was fantastic too!
Tiosha
We really enjoyed our stay at Karrawa Guest House! The host was warm and welcoming, answered any questions we had as newcomers to Scotland, and the breakfast service was incredible. Our room was cozy but spacious and the attention to detail made our stay feel luxurious while being functional with small children. We hope to visit again!

Fyona is helpful and friendly. Breakfast was made to order and excellent. Accommodations were spotless. This property is not in the heart of the city but it is an easy walk in.
Mark
Friendly, clean hotel with a nice breakfast
Roger
Really enjoyed our stay here. Found a couple of bugs in the bedroom (looked like pill bugs we have in the states). Not threatening. Beds were comfortable but were more the size of queen beds instead of King as advertised. Still, none of this would keep me from staying there again.
MARTIN
The room was a good size, good bathroom facilities, lovely breakfast room and everything was clean and fresh.
The breakfast had a good choice and was always produced promptly and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. Expecially enjoyed the haggis for breakfast.
Will certainly return.

Beautiful place with super friendly and helpful hosts. It was the best room we had during a 2 week vacation in Scotland, out of 10 different places. Parking was great, location is a pleasant 3/4 mile walk to town center. Breakfasts were very good and hosts had great recommendations for dining. Perfect!
Verified traveler
Lovely house in quiet area. There were plenty of information sheets about things to do and places to see in the vicinity. Also a a cabinet with treats for a snack with an honesty box.
Rooms were immaculate and en-suite first class. Food selection was varied and service good. Cooked breakfast was excellent. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend.
