Shaalder Apartments - Gairsay

Brand new conversion summer 2018. Comfortable space in the heart of Kirkwall within walking distance to shops, restaurants, buses, ferries and everything else Kirkwall has on offer. In a building originally housing a travelling grocery van (formerly horse drawn, latterly motorised!), this conversion was completed in 2018 by the same local family business who built it 5 generations ago. Built over 2 floors, downstairs you'll find the bedrooms and main bathroom. Bedroom 1 has an en suite shower/toliet. The beds can be set up as one superking or two single beds (please specify on booking). Bedroom 2 has one superking bed. The family bathroom is wet room style. There is a bath and a separate shower. Upstairs is the open plan main living space. There is a large fitted kitchen including dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, oven, fridge freezer etc. There is dining seating for 4, Smart TV, bluetooth speaker and free Wifi. There is a further toilet/shower room upstairs. On demand air source heating ensures a comfortable temperature is maintained. Guests check themselves in using coded key safe on site. We'll leave you to enjoy your stay without too much involvement but will always be available to contact if you need anything! A couple of minutes walk from Kirkwall bus station and tourist and travel information centre. Kirkwall Pier is the ferry terminal for the North Isles and is also less than 5 minutes walk away. Because the apartment is so central you are in walking distance of shops, restaurants, bars etc. If you plan to get out of town to visit all the amazing sites and attractions Orkney has to offer we recommend a car for flexibility but it is also do-able with public transport.
