Find the Best Toab Bed and Breakfast

"Friendly and very helpful staff. Lovely clean rooms. Excellent location for Kirkwall shops. "

"Car park was hard to find and located under 2 trees full of crows nest, little uneasy unpacking."

"Our room was very clean and had everything we needed. Eric (the host) could not have done more for us. Breakfast was fantastic. There was free parking provided. We were only a short drive from the main part of town - about 3 minutes? I would thoroughly recommend staying here."

"Amazing location, right on the sea. The waves lapping under the window. Amazing view; watching the sunrise and sunset from sitting in the window. The cottage is like a gallery. The amount and quality of the art work simply astonishing; including a Leila Thomson 'mini gallery' of her renowed tapestry-prints and an Orkney chair! The cottage aesthetics are the best we ever experienced. And there is more. Everywhere you turn you notice a piece of art work e.g. ceramic coasters, individually painted mugs. So many small details that arranged with care and artistic taste. The living room window is like a painting of the sea as you looking out. The practicals: very clean; airfryer, very good selection of pots & pans and utensils; barbecue set; table and chairs to take outside; wooden bench under the window; very good shower that heats up fast and powerful, extra towels available; comfortable bed with sea view; adjustable heating; books and information about Orkney including maps; binoculars; parking on the doorstep next to the jetty. Excellent communication with the host. Lovely village with a fine seafood resturant, five minutes from the ferry (you can watch it coming in and out from the window); 20 minutes drive to Kirkwall. A bonus was the blue sky and sunny days. Overall, an exceptional, unique cottage for a memorable holiday. Cannot recommend it enough."

"Great location and access, though paid parking is a nuisance during an extended stay. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable if a bit oddly shaped, being squeezed into an older building. The breakfast cold buffet and full (hot) Scottish order process is more than adequate. The Bothy Bar is cozy and inviting, serving Orkney's great beers and whiskies."

"Beautiful location in Stromness. Expansive fields right outside your window and fresh breeze from the sea. The X1 bus is steps from your door if you don't have a car like me. The X1 can take you anywhere you want to go. Orkney was a bucket list trip for me due to the archaeology and you can get to all of it on the bus. Stromness is also where you want to stay if archaeology is your main point of interest. Everything is on your doorstep. Stromness town is only about a mile away. Stromness is small but charming and picturesque. Much prettier than Kirkwall. I chose to walk it as I got to visit with friendly sheep and noisy rooks! Your hosts are incredibly lovely and kind. They even ran me up to Maes Howe on a rainy morning when I booked the tour but didn't realize the bus was not running that early. Thank Goodness... Kevin also ran me right up to Cuween Hill on my last day there. I was nervous about getting lost!!! If you visit make sure you go to Cuween. It is the favorite of pretty much every "Historic Scotland" employee I spoke to. An incredibly intact burial tomb where they found 24 dogs skulls. Honestly, for me, more impressive than Maes Howe. I'm already planning my next trip. Only recently found out the ferry out of Stromness is great to do a day trip as you pass the Old Man of Hoy. Next time as I still have lots more archaeology to see and I must meet a Puffin IRL!!! Say hi to Tyson while you stay. Give him a bit of your sausage and you're friends for life!"

"Fabulous breakfast made to order, warm croissant delivered the minute you sit down, lovely dining room. Walk to the ferry in 90 seconds. A must-stay. "

"Very new property that is convenient for everywhere in Kirkwall and beyond. Albert and Aileen are friendly and incredibly helpful. Good WiFi."

"Clean room, modern furnishings, nice towels and linens. Excellent breakfast and personable waiter."
