I stayed 3 nights at Avalon House and I think it is excellent. Every detail is taken care of. It is minutes away form center of Kirwall by car and about 15 min walking distance. Spotlessly clean, big confortable rooms, great breakfast and warm atmosphere make you want to stay . At night the only sound you hear is the... More

A wonderful stay! Jane and Alistair went above and beyond all expectations as hosts. Jane went as far as following up with the airlines on our lost luggage. The breakfasts were not only delicious but all guests were welcomed as if Jane and Alistair were hosting family members. The rooms were very comfortable and clean, all needs were met. Michelle...

We recently stayed here as part of a short holiday in Scotland. Jane our host emailed in advance to make sure everything we needed was in place, which was a lovely touch. The room was very spacious and spotlessly clean. The large room and bathroom was very family friendly too. Breakfast was second to none. A great place to stay,... More

What great hosts and accommodations. We came in on the Ferry from Lerwick...late at night and couldn't get a rental car until the next morning. No problem, Jane arranged a cab for us and Alastair was up to greet us and get us into a great room. We filled out our breakfast menu selections nightly and we were wrapped in... More

Can only echo what has been written already. Fantastic B&B great location with fantastic views from the bedroom and dining room over breakfast. We stayed with two teenage boys and there was more than enough room in the family room with plenty of space to spare. It's the small touches that make the big difference and the bath is wonderful...

Immaculate facilities -- thoughtful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly service -- excellent location for Kirkwall attractions and touring Mainland Orkney & other islands. Of the four b & bs we stayed in during a 2-week vacation in northern England and various Scottish spots Avalon House easily comes out as The Best for creature comforts of all kinds. Terrific shower, sunsets from... More

I founf this to be one of the best guest house accommodations that we have stayed at. Jane was cheerful, helpful, accommodating, etc. I arrived early and she handled it with no problem. Her facilities were top notch. Her breakfasts were delicious. The rooms were large and the bathroom was spacious with excellent water pressure. Her husband, Alastair, was extremely... More

I strongly recommend Avalon House which is every bit as good as the other reviews suggest. Huge, comfortable well equipped room in purpose built property a few minute drive or a pleasant 20 minute walk alongside the sea to Kirkwall town centre. Excellent breakfast and very friendly and helpful owners. One of the best B&Bs we have stayed in and... More

Second stay in 6 months at Avalon. Again, fantastic service, excellent food. Definitely the nicest, cleanest, comfiest, friendliest B&B in Kirkwall/Orkneys. Very highly recommended. Will definitely come back again and will adjust trip to ensure that I can stay here rather than elsewhere. More
