Great place with an amazing breakfast

Amazing breakfast! I especially loved the mushroom. The hosts were great & the location was very convenient. We were able to walk to dinner after a day of frazzled nerves from white knuckle driving.

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!
