    old springs
    limited view
    excessive lighting

    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.

    spotlessly clean
    weak wifi

    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?

    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.

    bed discomfort
    poor view

    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'.

    location too far

    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. Parking was easy peasy.

    wifi could use a lil boost, and it was a bit far from the town center for some folks.

    delicious breakfast
    weak wifi

    The breakfast was delightful with a variety of hearty options, including homemade rhubarb compote. The cleanliness of the room was impressive, providing a cozy retreat after a day of exploring. With the guesthouse being centrally located, we appreciated the easy access to town attractions.

    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.

    outdated mattress
    limited views
    no immediate solutions

    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.

    cozy lounge

    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.
