About this property
Cosy House in the heart of Kirkwall
- This Cute and Cosy house is located in the heart of Kirkwall. A 5 minute walk from the beautiful St. Magnus cathedral, Earls Palace and Museum. If you want to venture further out both the bus station and main harbour are within walking distance giving you easy access to the rest of Orkney and smaller isles.
The 2 main supermarkets are a 5-10 minute walk away and the street the house is located on is filled with small local shops.
