Review time for your Monday morning! ✨🤩

'First-class room with harbour views.

We had a wonderful three-night stay in Kirkwall. Our junior suite room had great views of the harbour and was so spacious, with a separate sitting room, study and en-suite bathroom.

The dining room was great too, with a good choice of food. Breakfast was amazing. On two of the nights, there was free live music happening from local and very talented musicians.'
