Friendly guest house, with thoughtful touches making it a comfortable and unique place to stay. Breakfast is delicious and cooked exactly to order. Location is ideal, a short walk into the centre of Kirkwall, with amazing views out over the hills. Highly recommended!

The Royal Oak Guess House completely met my expectations. The property was well maintained, bedroom very clean and tidy. Breakfast was excellent. The helpfulness and kindness I received from Eric and Alice during my 4 day break deserved 4 stars.

Very comfortable bed ( I'm not used to sleeping in a single but this one was very comfortable.) Air conditioning was handy as it was quiet close overnight a couple of times. Breakfast is a treat

10/10

Everything is good. Warm welcome from Eric, nice breakfast with various choices, even homemade jam. The room is so clean and spotless. Excellent arrangement from the host even with our short notice of breakfast time due to the local tour. So quiet neighbourhood and we had nice sleep. Walk to city centre takes about 30 minutes.
2-night trip

10/10

Run by LOVELY people. Very clean. Perfect lounge area where you can use a wee fridge and heat up food in the microwave with plates, utensils, etc. Lovely breakfast in the morning. Easy parking. My only complaint is it is a little farther from the main area with all the shops. However there is a LIDL close by and we had fish and chips close by filled with locals, that was delicious. Staying right down by the shops was a lot more money, so the walk was worth it.
