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"!

Lovely apartment, very quiet and clean and comfortable. Sofa bed made up ready for our arrival. Robert very welcoming and helpful

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.

Beautiful space. As a family we enjoyed cooking together & playing games in the evening. The hot tub was great, we used it everyday. The views from every room were amazing and it was so peaceful and tranquil. Local neighbours farmers and the wildlife were all very friendly. It was welcoming from the moment we arrived. Ideally located to visit places and a short drive into Kirkwall. Would highly recommend and define visit again. Very friendly and accommodating hosts!

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!

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!

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 :)

I had a really lovely time at this home in Wick. Location is fantastic right on the water. I enjoyed a lovely walk along the cliffs overlooking the North Sea. Janice is a great host who was really helpful. Home was immaculate. I would very highly recommend!

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.
