10/10 Exceptional

Karrawa Guest House was great. Rooms were nice, clean, roomy, comfortable. Owners, who were also the staff, were very helpful, friendly, attentive. The rooms include breakfast, which is a full breakfast including made-to-order hot dishes -- food was good, the grilled tomato was a big hit in our family. The Guest House is in a quiet neighborhood (about a 20-minute pleasant walk to center of Kirkwall, or an easy bus or car ride).

We really enjoyed our stay at Karrawa Guest House! The host was warm and welcoming, answered any questions we had as newcomers to Scotland, and the breakfast service was incredible. Our room was cozy but spacious and the attention to detail made our stay feel luxurious while being functional with small children. We hope to visit again!

We had an incredible 2 night stay here. Fyona and Colin went above and beyond to make us feel at home and we would 100% stay there again! Breakfast was delicious, the room was cozy but just what we needed and the neighbourhood was quiet. It's about a 20 minute walk to the shops in Kirkwall which was so perfect. Can't recommend enough!

A really great week on an enchanting island

We had the best of experiences possible. Everything was just perfect. All the furniture and fittings are as new and everything worked as it should. Couldn't find a fault. As a guest house you couldn't find better. Fyona is really very helpful with superb breakfasts.
