The Old Printworks, Kirkwall

The Old Printworks keeps its name proudly on the wall of a converted building on Junction Road, with a smart timber-clad porch over the private entrance and off-street parking right outside. It is a compact, freshly fitted one-bedroom space for two, all on one level once you are in, and a tidy choice if you want to be within walking distance of the town.

Rooms & comfort

The bedroom is bright and modern, with a double bed dressed in blue, a window with vertical blinds, a small round table with a chair, a mirrored wardrobe and a wall-mounted TV. It opens straight through to a private en-suite. There is a walk-in glass shower with a proper rainfall head, plus a separate WC with a basin, mirror and laminate flooring. A long, well-lit hallway with oak laminate floors and a feature-tiled panel links the rooms, and wifi and a TV are provided.

The location

Junction Road puts you within easy reach of the centre of Orkney's main town, with shops, cafes and the harbour a short walk away. The private parking and self-contained entrance make coming and going simple.

Good to know

This is a one-bedroom unit sleeping two, suited to one level of living. It is freshly finished and low-fuss, with the en-suite shower and a separate WC giving you a bit more flexibility than the size suggests.

Perfect for

A couple or a pair of friends after a clean, modern town base with parking on the door and everything within walking distance.
