    Fantastic stay at Karrawa, Fyona was so welcoming and friendly. The room was spacious, comfortable and ideal for my trip; very clean and quiet for a good night's sleep. The location is ideal, just a short 15mins walk to the centre of Kirkwall and the breakfast was brilliant. Would highly recommend staying here. Thank you for a great stay.
