Kirkwall Studios - Studio 29A

Studio 29A is a tidy, self-contained little home with its own front door, painted a cheerful sea-blue against cream render on a quiet street in Kirkwall. There is parking right outside, and the whole place is set up to make a short stay or a longer one feel effortless from the moment you step in.

Inside

The open-plan living space is bright and modern, with a comfortable leather sofa, a smart dark kitchen running along one wall, and a dining table by the window for meals. Everything you need is here, oven and hob, microwave, kettle and toaster, with wifi, a TV and a washer to round it off. It is a clever, well-organised space that never feels cramped.

Where you'll sleep

Upstairs in the eaves is a double bedroom under a sloping ceiling, with a skylight overhead, a proper double bed, bedside lamps and plenty of storage. It is a calm, restful room, just right for the two guests this studio sleeps.

The setting

You are well placed in Kirkwall, Orkney's main town, within reach of St Magnus Cathedral, independent shops, cafes and restaurants, and the harbour with its ferries out to the isles. It is an easy base for everything from a museum afternoon to an early boat north.

Perfect for

A couple or a solo traveller wanting a smart, private studio with parking and a kitchen of their own. Compact, modern and close to the action, it suits both short city breaks and a comfortable touring base.
