St Clair House

We stayed at this property for three nights and it's really close to the ferry port so makes it ideal especially if you’re on the early ferry. It's a good sized house and the heating is remarkably efficient esp' given the size of the house. The kitchen is a good size and was well equipped and had everything we needed. The living room area is a large and was comfortable enough, although we were out much of the time - so only spent evenings there. There's a pub next door and a bar/coffeehouse called Robertson’s just a five minute walk away -and we would strongly recommend Robertson’s to eat or drink in. The bedrooms were a good size and were comfortable. There's a good sized garden with some outdoor seating but we didn't use that area. Almost everywhere it Orkney seemed quite easy to get to and we really enjoyed our stay there - a visit to Skara Brae and Maeshowe Cairn were highlights of our trip (book in advance and check online to avoid the cruise ships that visit Orkney) and Kirkwall was also nice to wander around. Communications with the owner and key collection were routine and clear, there was parking provision at the rear of the property but on street parking outside was fine as well,

There wasn’t really anything we didn’t like. If were heading to Orkney again we would be happy to stay at this property again.

Very homely and clean.

Location Close to ferry , shops and restaurant

Lovely location but a bit noisy with the main road
