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.

Great Apartment in Great Location, very Central for Kirkwall. Close to Excellent Empire Chinese Restaurant. Nice little 2 bedroom apartment, with great facilities. Very Clean and easy process to check yourself in. Kitchen is sufficient for small meals, plus clothes washing machine.

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.
