Perfect location & well equipped & comfy apnt.

Perfect location right in the heart of Kirkwall. All the main eateries and pubs are within a 2-5 min walk, however, it is quiet at night, so a good night sleep on the very comfortable bed is no issue at all. David emailed and text in advance to advise arrival procedures/keys etc & made sure we knew where to find everything. It was a great 2 bed apartment, well equipped & comfortable. I would happily recommend this apartment and visits to local sites (Skara Brae - 20 min drive) is a must, then pop to Yesnabe on west coast (A further 5 min drive) for some stunning cliffe-edge sightseeing.

Comfortable space, clean, and bright

We spent a relaxing week in the Orkneys made pleasurable by our stay at the Courtyard Apartments. The apartment was nicely furnished with good quality linens and located close to Tesco. We got a warm welcome from the owner, which included some essential instructions about the door locks for North Americans.
