We took a 5 day stay opportunity to visit relatives after a long absence. Karrawa was brilliant base for us, close to Kirkwall centre, and within easy reach of restaurants and shops. The house was of an exceptionally high standard in terms of decoration and finish, as well as comfort and cleanliness. Breakfast was a delight each morning. Our hosts... More

Albert and Aileen gave us a friendly welcome. The room was comfortable if a bit snug. Quiet location. Good breakfasts. Handy for the airport. Within easy walking distance of the town. Wi-Fi. provided. What more do you want?

Visited in April 2013 and had a wonderful time. Clean and spacious accommodation, delicious breakfasts and friendly hosts. Aileen and Albert couldn't have done more to make our visit a success. Can't reccommend highly enough.

We stayed at Karrawa Guest House in December 2012. We received a warm welcome from Aileen and Annie and the room was lovely with a huge bathroom. Breakfast was excellent with a wide range of choices. It is good to see a young couple in the B&B business and Aileen and Albert provide good quality, comfortable accommodation in a lovely... More

In September, 2102 we stayed at Karrawa Guest House for several nights. We were at the back end of 4 weeks in Scotland and had stayed in several B&Bs - Karrawa House was the equal or better of any of them. The hospitality was excellent as were the accommodations, the breakfasts and the convenience of the location for explorations either... More

Karrawa is one of the cleanest, friendliest and welcoming B&B's we have stayed in for many years. When the ferry is in late, its no problem, they are all organised with the key and instructions. Our dog was even made to feel welcome! We live on one of Orkneys northern isles, and are so glad we have found a B&B... More

Our ferry arrival was delayed beyond when the connecting bus was willing to wait and when we called Albert, he picked us up (charging less than what a taxi would have cost) and gave us a nice unscheduled tour on the way back to the guest house. Albert also drove us down to town and back to show us the... More

We found Karrawa Guest House on the net, and we corresponded quite a lot before we arrived in late June. Very helpful and informative beforehand, and also during our stay. Situated 10 min walk from the center of Kirkwall, close to the Highland Park Destillery, and with great view to the Scapa Flow, the Karrawa Gust House is an ideal... More

Albert, Aileen and their gorgeous little daughter made us feel so welcome in Karrawa. They went out of their way to help us with directions and things to explore while we were in Orkney. Also their kindness shown to me when I had a personal bereavement will never be forgotten. Would highly recommend Karrawa Guest House.
