The single bed in my room was archaic, springs digging in awkwardly, leading to a rough night's sleep and lingering back pain. The family room's view was limited to a car park, lacking any charm. A suggestion for hallway lights being on a sensor could save energy and enhance the experience, as having them on all night feels excessive.

We had a proper top-notch stay! Eric was a gem, helping with recommendations and serving a brekkie that was a tasty treat! The spot was spotlessly clean, comfy, and close to town. Just wish the wifi was a bit stronger, yeah?

Excellent breakfast with hearty options every morning.

What they won’t tell you about this

You’ll be enchanted by the generous breakfast options. there's even haggis for the adventurous palate! The host goes above and beyond to ensure your experience is welcoming and comfortable—truly above expectations!

Some rooms lack a view, with certain aspects feeling less appealing than others. A more robust wifi connection would enhance the overall experience, making it easier to stay connected.

The room I got had the most ancient bed, springs felt like pokes from a porcupine. I told them about it, but no discount, just future promises. my view? A privative car park. I was practically begging for a welcome treat but alas, no one seemed to care. Absolutely unacceptable for such a so-called 'guesthouse'.

a haven of warmth with delicious gluten free breakfast options and safe parking for your peace of mind

Spotlessly clean facilities, welcoming hosts, and delightful breakfast variety made for a cozy stay. Perfect for unwinding and enjoying local scenery!

My stay was delightful, with warm hospitality from Eric, who offered helpful local restaurant recommendations. The room was exceptionally clean and well-equipped, providing much comfort and a cozy retreat after exploring Orkney. Breakfast options were hearty and delicious.

No negatives to mention.

had a really great time at royal oak guesthouse! the host, eric, was suuuper friendly and helped us with all sorts of tips for the area. breakfast was delish with lots of options, especially loved the haggis! the kitchen and lounge area had amazing views and was perfect for relaxing after a day out. also, the place was spotless and comfy.

The wifi could use a bit of a boost, making it challenging to stay connected.

A Wonderful Stay with Superb Hospitality

We thoroughly enjoyed our two-night stay! The room offered a great blend of comfort and cleanliness. Eric went out of his way to assist with my bicycle. Breakfast each morning was a delightful experience, full of hearty options. I highly recommend doing laundry here for convenience.

The room offered exceptional cleanliness, providing a cozy retreat after a day exploring. Highlights included the wonderful guava jam at breakfast, complementing the hearty meal options. the single bed's outdated mattress made for an uncomfortable night, coupled with a lack of significant views from the room. the owner mentioned ongoing updates, but immediate solutions or discounts for this inconvenience could have enhanced the experience.

Just a good pick for a getaway in Orkney with reasonable value. The cozy lounge area had an amazing view which was perfect for relaxing. Check the breakfast hours to make sure you don’t miss out on the hearty options.

the breakfast choices were diverse and included homemade rhubarb compote. the beds felt a bit too firm.
