Kirkwall, the capital of Orkney, is a small yet bustling town rich in history and culture. Its cobbled streets are lined with shops selling local crafts, jewellery, and Orkney produce, offering plenty to explore. Just a short walk from the apartment is the iconic St Magnus Cathedral, a stunning medieval structure dating back to 1137, renowned for its architecture and historical significance. The town also boasts a vibrant array of cafes, restaurants, and pubs, where you can sample traditional Orcadian cuisine or relax with a drink after a day of sightseeing.

For those wishing to explore the wider Orkney Islands, the nearby ferry terminal offers routes to the North Isles, where you can experience breathtaking landscapes and abundant wildlife. With transport links like the North Isles ferry terminal and bus station close by, the apartment is a perfect base for discovering both Kirkwall’s attractions and the natural beauty of the surrounding islands. Whether you’re here for the history, the scenery, or simply to relax, this central location makes everything easily accessible. These properties can be booked together to accommodate up to 10 guests.
