The Flat at Cunningair, Kirkwall - OR00448F

The Flat at Cunningair is a generously sized property on Upper Crantit Road in Kirkwall, set up to sleep a good-sized group of up to 8. It's a roomy, easy-going flat on the edge of town — plenty of comfortable beds, a big sociable living room and the convenience of Kirkwall's shops and harbour just down the hill.

Inside

The living room is built for a crowd, with three full-size sofas — two in cream leather and one in blue — arranged around a wooden-wheel-style coffee table, a wall-mounted TV and a bookcase stocked with reading for rainy days. A large window with a rural outlook brings in good light, and there's wall-mounted air conditioning for comfort. It's an unpretentious, lived-in space where everyone can gather at the end of the day.

Where you'll sleep

Sleeping 8, the flat has several comfortable double bedrooms, all dressed in crisp white linen with patterned scatter cushions and warm wood flooring. A few of the rooms have a handy washbasin built in, along with bedside lamps, wardrobes or hanging rails and heated towel rails — practical touches for a busy group. The rooms are calm and neutral, each with its own window. A corner shower room serves the household, with a quadrant glass enclosure, WC, basin and a mirrored cabinet.

Step outside

The living-room and bedroom windows look out over green ground and neighbouring rooftops — an open, settled outlook on the quieter edge of Kirkwall.

The setting

Upper Crantit Road sits just above the town, so you're only a short way from the centre of Kirkwall — St Magnus Cathedral, the shops, restaurants and the harbour with its ferry links are all within easy reach, while the flat itself stays peaceful and tucked away.

Perfect for

Sleeping 8 with a hot tub, parking, WiFi and laundry, this is a strong choice for a large family, a group of friends or two households travelling together who want space, comfort and a handy Kirkwall base.
