We booked two rooms for two nights with Mrs. Ruth Muir over Easter Break. Booking was dead simple over the phone and Ruth doesn't require a deposit, credit card, or any other nonsense, just your word and decency you'll notify her if your plans change. Inform Ruth of your mode of travel so she'll know when to expect you, especially... More

The location is great, the house is beautiful, and the room was very clean. The owners were very friendly and very helpful as well. Breakfast was included and it was delicious! If visiting Kirkwall, I highly recommend checking out Orkney Uncovered for a private tour of the mainland. You will be amazed by what you'll uncover.

Just back from staying here for two nights for my son's graduation. Ideally located for the ceremony at the Cathedral and town. We had the two double rooms at the front of the house and were surprised at how big they were and my husband adored the claw bath in our room which was a luxury we did not expect!!... More

We've been at this B&B for two nights and I've really liked the atmosphere. It's a 4minutes walk away from kirkwall center (the cathedral) and all the restaurants. We were staying in the twin beds room and it was really spacious, with 3 big windows and a sofa. Tv and wi-fi set that are a bit old, but fully working.... More

I stayed at 2 Dundas Crescent on assignment for a radio station. It was a short walk away from town center, restaurants, sites, and shopping. My room was comfortable and neat, the bathroom was newly renovated and spotless, and the breakfast was delicious. 2 Dundas is a former Manse with high ceilings, beautiful tall windows, and great views of the...

The Manse was indeed just that—the former residence of the church rector. Rooms are large with tall ceilings and shuttered windows overlooking the gardens. It’s a 5-minute walk to the town centre. The owner was very gracious and helpful. My upper floor room had two twin beds, a sofa, a large wardrobe and assorted end tables. There was an old... More

My husband and I have stayed at 2 Dundas twice now and can't say enough good things about it. The hosts, Ruth and Edgar are warm and welcoming and the breakfasts (and coffee!) are delicious! We stayed in the Library room both times - love the space, the view and the clawfoot tub! And the b&b is very conveniently located... More

We stayed with Ruth and Edgar for 3 nights. Our group included 2 adults and 3 children visiting Orkney to participate in a local sports festival. We had a twin room for the adults and the girls stayed in a triple room next door, all with full size single beds. The house is beautiful and the modern en suite facilities... More

We stayed here at the end of July and were in the large "library" room at the front of the house. This room is very spacious and has a large, modern bathroom with both shower and bathtub. The breakfasts were very good with special wishes being honored, including kippers. The hosts offered many useful tips regarding places to visit also... More
