Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Kirkwall

Lounge/kitchen and bathroom downstairs, double bedroom upstairs, neat small garden and deck. Bright and airy, just like in the photos. Admirably clean throughout. Comfortable bed. Welcoming selection of books and games, also nice welcome pack of goodies. All kitchen staples were there, so no need to run to the shops for salt or Fairy liquid! The weather forecast was iffy, so Cathy provided logs and kindling for the log burner. It turned out that they were not needed: the heat pump did its job. We loved the cottage and St Margaret’s Hope, a small sleepy village near the ferry terminal. The cottage might not be suitable for more elderly guests as the stairs up to the bedroom are quite steep. The village might be too small and sleepy for others. Top marks for us though.

This was a great place to stay in Kirkwall. Accommodation was superb and was within easy walking distance of town centre. Would definitely stay there again. Parking was great to have as well

The Old Kirk was quite stunning - as soon as we unlocked and opened the door, we could see the charm and wonder of the whole place. It was superbly furnished and quite delightful, with so many interesting things dotted around... ...a real home from home and on quite a grand scale. Hoy is a charmingly remote and sometimes desolate place, but the Old Kirk was always a delight to come back to - so warm and cosy. We were particularly lucky that there was a folk music concert (Saltfishforty) on the Friday we were there, right next door in the Gable End Theatre - and we had two meals at Emily's, just up the road. A wonderful 4 days - Thanks, Inga.

Karen's place was exquisitely clean and comfortable. It is tastefully furnished and decorated and fully equipped, even having sharp knives and a pair of scissors that actually cut a tin opener that works and kitchen scales! Karen provided us with very helpful advice on what to see and do and was always quick to respond. We really appreciated the friendly welcoming reception. A lovely touch was coming up to meet us and to say goodbye at the end of our stay. What a treat it was to stay at "Hooveth"!

Thank you for accomodating us. Lovely host, exactly as listed and in photos. Thank you.

House is very close to centre of Kirkwall, walkable to all the main tourist places, great variety of places to eat,drink and shop. House was just as described, warm, clean and comfy. No parking but short walk to free long stay car park.

Very good welcome from Lise, impeccable house, ideal for two couples. we recommend.

We really enjoyed staying in Holm. House was great and it was easy to get to Kirkwall, Stromness and places of interest. Very handy for The Italian Chapel and the Churchill barriers. Would happily stay again.

Central but quiet, lovely cosy wee place. Decent parking was tricky to find maybe add it into welcome pack but she was amazing when we locked ourselves out with keys and my phone in flat!

This place has a fantastic location. It is easy to walk to pretty much anything you need. There are also a couple of pubs & restaurants right across the street. It also has free parking, so that was helpful since we had a rental vehicle.

Really enjoyed my stay here. Was here for 2 weeks and was really happy with it. I didn’t realise there was no bedroom and it was just a sofa bed but that’s because I didn’t read the listing properly! The sofa bed was still very comfortable and there is enough space for sure. The area was a bit loud at night from teenagers kicking about but I think it must just be because of Easter break. Nice stay otherwise :)

Had stayed there for 1 night, Stevie was very helpful in explaining the property location and check in was very smooth. It looked exactly as shown in the pictures. Free Parking is available within 2 mins walk. Great host and good property if you are looking for a stopover while covering the North coast 500. Tesco, Lidl and few restaurants are nearby the location. 15 mins drive to the Lands End - John Groaths.

The flat is a little gem with lots of little added things to make it pretty: pictures, photos, nice curtains etc. When we arrived the electric fire and classic FM were on. A special touch. Super quiet. The view is amazing and it is only 10 minutes walk to Stromness. Super easy to access by car and then travel into the island. Highly recommend.

I have lived in this apartment fore three month now, and I have been really happy with everything. The apartment is nicely equipped, and everything is nice and clean. For me is has been then perfect place to relax, after long working days on projects in the local area. The host, Steven, has been a really good host. Whenever there was anything with the apartment, he got it fixed straight away. I can only give Steve and the apartment 5 stars.

Though our stay was unexpectedly cut short, I would try to come back in his place if time permits.

Scarva is truly the most wonderful Airbnb that we have ever stayed in! It’s location in Kirkwall is perfect… The cathedral is right down the street and there is a market as well as a specialty market right across the road. The apartment itself is decorated beyond words and feels like home. We cooked at home and relaxed in the beautiful living room after full days of exploring the islands. You will not be sorry… Book this place before it gets booked up!
