I am a 30 yo french man well travelled and I have enjoyed the stay at brinkies Guest house for 2 nights so mush that I would have stayed a lot more longer. The localisation is just amazing (10 min of walk from central stromness, up to a hill with a gorgious dominant view over the region). The environment surrounding... More

I've just spent an exceptionally good weekend with a good friend on the Orkneys and chose Brinkie's Guest House from searching TripAdvisor. At this time of year we were hoping for an escape from London and a relaxing time and we got that! We were made very welcome, and were looked after very well. Great attention to detail from Yvonne.... More

We had a really lovely stay here, Yvonne was so friendly and accomodating, the room was comfortable and the breakfasts (and packed lunches) were fantastic. A lot of information on exploring the Orkenys was provided, and Yvonne was also helped us figure out how to organise our Maes Howe tour. Highly recommend!

A group of 8 of us made a last minute trip to orkney the weekend before new year without planning accommodation ahead. Called Yvonne after finding her contact in a info guide, and she promptly made arrangements to fit all of us, even giving us trip advice. The house was lovely and cosy, very beautifully decorated, and everything was well... More

I stayed at Brinkies Guest House for a week in December, and the stay was everything I imagined. The bed was extremely comfortable, with nice plush sheets that keep you warm even throughout the winter chill. The morning breakfast was very flexible, and delicious. I prefer just simple meats, cheese, and few pieces of smoked fish for breakfast, but Yvonne... More

I have spent 3 nights in November at Brinkies Guest House. It is a lovely and welcoming house. It was a quiet location, the view was incredible, the food was very delicious and Yvonne, the host, was very friendly, helpful and thoughtful. I had spent a fantastic time there and with Yvonne. I have really enjoyed it and I would... More

Yvonne made everything so easy from a quick simple booking via e-mail to great directions which i unfortunately didnt get on my e-mail... More

We stayed three nights in total at Brinkies Guest House with Yvonne. The house sits prominently on a rise above Stromness atop what are arguable the oldest rocks in Scotland and possibly the world. We were greeted by Yvonne who made us feel very welcome and showed us to our two rooms on the 2nd floor of this fine house.... More

We have a 1 year old who's stay was made much easier by the owner who could not do enough to help. The bed was quite soft, but the family room was large enough for us all with a large ensuite bathroom. breakfast was extensive, altho no cooked option. I cannot fault the cleanliness & welcome. I'd love to return... More
