These state-of the art apartments are the perfect place for you to recoup your energy and enjoy all that Orkney has to offer.
Kringla consists of three beautiful apartments, which have been designed and lovingly furnished with comfort in mind. These new apartments sleep four or five and you are guaranteed a soothing and peaceful nights sleep, as you relax on beds with quality mattresses. Each apartment is equipped to a high standard, it is centrally heated with its own shower room, kitchen/dining area and lounge. The lounge with its flat screen TV is the perfect place to kick off your shoes after a day of exploration in the fresh Orkney air.
We accept dogs in Kringla 2 ONLY. Kringla 1 and 3 have never had animals in them so are suitable for those who are allergic to animals.
