Welcome to Karrawa Guest House, a family run establishment offering comfortable and well-appointed accommodation in Kirkwall, the main town of the Orkney Islands.
Albert & Aileen invite you to share and enjoy their hospitality. We have recently acquired the guest house and aim to provide a high standard of accommodation for visitors and travellers alike. We are both from the Orkney Islands and have a vast knowledge of the area and can help make the most of your time during your visit.
All rooms are clean and have all the required facilities to ensure your stay is enjoyable and comfortable.
Centrally situated, the guest house is within easy walking distance of the towns’ shops and restaurants, with the spectacular St Magnus Cathedral only 1km away.
If your stay is for pleasure, it is an ideal base to explore the Orkney Islands from, with the airport and ferry terminals only 2.5 miles away.
Similarly if you are visiting on business, we are located in Kirkwall and close to all local amenities.
We are registered members of Visit Orkney and Visit Scotland and are currently awaiting grading of the guest house.
We are open all year round.
