Cosy two bedroom apartment

This two-bedroom apartment sits on Victoria Street in central Kirkwall, behind a traditional stone house with a surprisingly large, leafy garden — a wide sweep of lawn fringed by mature trees and shrubs, with the rooftops of the town beyond. It's a quiet, green pocket right in the heart of things, and a real bonus to have outdoor space this close to the centre.

Inside

The apartment is finished to a high standard. The kitchen is the standout — pale wood units, dark granite worktops, a stainless extractor hood, integrated oven and hob, microwave and a washing machine, all wrapped around a round wooden dining table on warm oak flooring. It's a genuinely well-equipped space for cooking and eating in. There's a washer for longer stays and everything feels fresh and recently fitted.

Where you'll sleep

Two bedrooms sleep four. One has a large bed dressed in crisp white with terracotta-toned cushions and throw, a wall-mounted TV opposite and a smart oak door through to the rest of the apartment. The bathrooms are excellent — one a full family bathroom with both a bath and a separate corner shower, slate-tiled floor and twin windows; another a neat shower room with a heated towel rail and oak finishes. Quality throughout.

Step outside

The garden is the surprise: a generous lawn with trees and planting, a lovely spot to sit out on a sunny day with the town just steps away.

The setting

Victoria Street runs through the historic core of Kirkwall, a short walk from St Magnus Cathedral, the harbour, shops and restaurants. There's plenty more to discover across Orkney from this central base.

Perfect for

Sleeping four across two bedrooms, with a hot tub, garden, wifi, a top-notch kitchen and a washer, this apartment suits a family or two couples who want quality, comfort and a central Kirkwall location with green space on the doorstep.
