Sanderlay Guest House

Sanderlay Guest House – Affordable Comfort on the Edge of Kirkwall

Looking for a welcoming guest house that won't break the bank? Sanderlay Guest House sits in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of Kirkwall, offering 8 comfortable rooms at prices starting from just £81 per night.

This 3-star property is set in a modern building with a lovely garden where you can unwind after a day of exploring. Mornings kick off with a hearty Scottish cooked breakfast — the traditional way to start your Orkney adventure.

Though you're approximately 1 mile from the town centre, it's an easy walk or a quick drive to reach St Magnus Cathedral, the Orkney Museum, and Kirkwall's independent shops and restaurants. Free parking makes it simple to base yourself here and explore the wider island — Highland Park Distillery (1.5 km) is practically next door!

Day trip highlights include the Standing Stones of Stenness (16 km), the atmospheric Maeshowe tomb (14 km), and the remarkable Italian Chapel on Lamb Holm (13 km). With free WiFi throughout, you can plan your next adventure from the comfort of your room.

Sanderlay is proof that quality and value go hand in hand. See all our Kirkwall guest houses and plan your trip today.
