  • “I stayed at the Royal Oak over a long weekend and had a great stay. No request was too big for Alice and Eric to manage, and I was well looked after. The rooms and clean, tidy and well maintained. I enjoyed a Scottish breakfast cooked fresh every morning and was aware of other continental selections being available. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely book again when I return to Kirkwall. 10/10!

  • “Definitely love this place. The room & toilet were clean; the bed sheet was also hypoallergenic. The facilities were just what we needed. Delicious breakfast. The decorations were unique. The atmosphere was peaceful and very cosy. Very kind and friendly owners. Strategic location – beautiful surroundings and close to amenities. We will absolutely stay there again if we visit Kirkwall in the future, and we highly recommend others to do the same.”
