    The owner and staff were very helpful, and the food was perfect, very nice home made jam, so nice that I passed on the full cooked breakfast on the second day, so that I could squeeze in more Jam on Toast.

    Excellent location. Fyon was brilliant. Extended our stay at very short notice due to our ferry to the mainland being cancelled. She took great care of us, gave us ideas of places to eat, and made our stay very comfortable. A very welcoming stay....

Home away from Home with friendly, helpful hosts. Our guest house is centrally situated on the mainland of Orkney with nothing more than a 30 minute drive away.
Karrawa is set on the outskirts of the town centre in a quiet residential area. Inganess beach only one mile away and Highland Park Distillery close by also.
