Graemeshall House

Graemeshall House is a one of a kind stay. Beautiful 17th/18th century Manor home on the Orkneys mid-way between Kirkwall and St. Margaret's Hope. Plenty of parking in the circle drive. The room was luxurious with incredible amount of space. The bathroom was large enough to be another bedroom. Loved the integration of historic fixtures and furnishings with modern day touches. The available library was a fabulous step out of the past for a place to relax and read. John was a welcoming host and ensured our stay was comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and incorporated our dietary needs.

Beautiful hotel. Luxury decor and comfort in rooms. Delicious breakfast and excellent host who was very knowledgable about local history. He also advised us on places to eat. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel. Handy for sites and very close to the Italian Chapel and Churchill Barriers.

We stayed for a week at this beautiful property. It is a very upmarket bed and breakfast. We enjoyed the use of a suite of rooms (The Lairds's Suite) which included a double aspect bedroom with four poster bed, a bathroom with slipper bath and shower plus a sitting room with TV (there's one in the bedroom as well. All the furnishings and decorations are of a high standard which our stay comfortable and warm. The original house is sixteenth century but the part we were in is mid nineteenth century, very tastefully updated to twenty first century comfort whilst retaining its period features. The house is on the edge of Scapa Flow, overlooking the sea and surrounded by trees. The owner, John, provided excellent breakfasts in the dining room as well as a wealth of local knowledge. Though near St Mary's it's only 25 min drive to Kirkwall and all the Mainland sites are within 40 mins. An excellent place to stay which we'd thoroughly recommend.
