“My exploration of this Kirkwall apartment revealed its undeniable strength lies in its central placement, making spontaneous island forays as straightforward as nipping to the corner shop. The thoughtful provision of essentials, from tea to a very capable kitchen, signals a genuine understanding of what guests truly need. It felt like a warm, well-equipped base, ready for whatever Orkney had in store.”
