Westbrae, Kirkwall

Our house is just on the outskirts of Kirkwall and very close to Orkney Golf Club. It has great views over the bay from the town to the Isles. The double room is newly refurbished for 2018. Breakfast cereals, bread/toast and tea/coffee is included. We are situated just off the main Kirkwall to Stromness road on the outskirts of the town in a detached Bungalow. We have a breakfast room which guests have exclusive use of throughout the day, not just for breakfast. Guests will also have use of the toilet/shower room which is not shared with the hosts. There is a cat living here but he doesn't get near the guest room. This is a quiet neighbourhood and although there is a main road nearby the noise is minimal. Orkney Golf club is just a 2 minute walk from the house and is open to visitors. We are about a 20 minute walk from the town centre on a well lit main route. There is a couple of bus stops a 100yards or so from the house. We are a 5 minute drive from the Hatston terminal which the Northlink ferries use on the Aberdeen/Kirkwall/Lerwick route and 20 minutes from Stromness which Northlink use for the Stromness - Scrabster route. We are also just 30 minute away if you use Pentland ferries and 15 minutes from the Airport. Being on the outskirts of the town means its great for heading out exploring the sights of the Orkney mainland or even as a base if you fancy a day trip to the outer isles. There is room to park outside the house although the driveway is not for guests use due to its restricted nature. If you are travelling into Orkney with Northlink from Aberdeen or Shetland then a later check in can be accepted to fit with the ferry arrival times.
