Offering a garden and quiet street view, Shorelands B&B is situated in Kirkwall, 2.9 km from Scapa Beach and 17 km from Maeshowe. Featuring sea and garden views, this guest house also includes free WiFi. The guest house has family rooms. The host(s) are lovely, the breakfast was delicious, the room was great. It had a really good combination of privacy in our room as well as comfortable common areas that made it feel like we were just staying with the family. Nicky was able to accommodate us for the guided tour (a later start time) and I'm so glad it worked out - the tour was one of my favorite parts of the overall trip to Scotland.

The bed and breakfast provides guests with a terrace, sea views, a seating area, a flat-screen TV, a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a toaster, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower and bathrobes. A fridge and kitchenware are also offered, as well as a kettle. At the bed and breakfast, units have bed linen and towels. Everything was perfect !! The location was a short drive from Kirkwall which meant we had the opportunity to visit some of the smaller villages enroute. Teresa and Malcolm, our hosts, welcomed us into their home and gave us many insightful tips about Orkney that made our trip run more smoothly. The breakfast was fresh and delicious each day and the room was generous in size with quality inclusions and a most incredible view! We most certainly recommend this accommodation for visitors to Orkney !!
