My daughter and I had a wonderful three night stay here. The rooms are immaculate and the breakfasts freshly cooked and delicious. Especially the mushrooms yum yum!!! Fyona made us so welcome and helped us feel right at home. Thanks so much.

First time I have stayed since the new owners took over. I am more than pleased to say that it is as warm and welcoming as it ever was. Breakfast was superb and Fyona is a great hostess. Always a smile and takes the time to have a quick chat. Very handy if working at the Balfour and town center is only a 15 minute walk. The room was comfortable warm and clean. Will be sure to stay there again on my next trip to Orkney.

Loved our stay at Karrawa Guest House. Our hosts were so obliging and helpful. Our hosts made it easy for us with suggestions for our dinner reservations. Our room was lovely and our breakfast delicious. Thank you both for spoiling us

We had the best of experiences possible. Everything was just perfect. All the furniture and fittings are as new and everything worked as it should. Couldn't find a fault. As a guest house you couldn't find better. Fyona is really very helpful with superb breakfasts.

We stayed with our best friends, 2 couples: 3 nights on Orkney at Karrawa Guest house 8/30-9/2/23 with a rental car as home base for the Main Island. From arrival to departure just outside of town toward the Churchill barriers, our experience couldn’t have been more positive. Each room has convenient parking, and are very comfortable with a lovely lounge/breakfast room. Fyona and Colin are from the Orkney Islands, who own the Inn, live there with their family and are available for any question/need. The Inn is immaculate. Gave us great recommendations to use our time efficiently, helped with a wonderful dinner reservation and after a perfect make to order breakfast each morning you don’t need lunch! The airport is 10 minutes away, and everything is very accessible on Orkney from here. I am a morning walker, and had great 3-4 mile walks into town and along the port each day. Orkney was the last stop of our 2 week Highland trip, and was the star of the show for many reasons, including the very reasonably priced and great value Karrawa House!

Fyona was very friendly. The whole house is very clean. And the breakfast was delicious! We will come back on our next trip to Orkney. There is a coffee bar in the room and a fridge on the floor with some sweets and water in it. We had a beautiful stay here
