About Castaway Guesthouse
Castaway Guesthouse suits visitors after a straightforward, comfortable base for exploring Orkney rather than a lavish stay. It works well for those touring by car, with free on-site parking, or arriving via Kirkwall Airport nearby, and for anyone happy with simple, unfussy rooms in a casual setting.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, and breakfast is available to set guests up for the day. Free WiFi runs throughout, and reception operates around the clock, so arrival times are flexible. The style is plain and practical rather than polished, which suits guests who prioritise comfort and value over decor.
Kirkwall itself is close by, and the surrounding area offers golf, fishing, cycling and walking, along with watersports for the more active. Pubs, bars, restaurants and other eateries are within easy reach for evenings out, and there's entertainment nearby too, making it a sound base for getting out and about in Orkney.
What guests say
Lovely , friendly place to stay. Room was cosy, welcoming and clean. Cooked breakfast delicious with real tomato sauce if you fancy. 5 minutes from the centre. Stacey, the owner, was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend. Great value.

Stacey is welcoming, friendly, knowledgable, attentive and a great breakfast cook. We stayed two nights and twice I forgot to take a pic of my amazing full breakfast because I totally delved in! There is a kettle with tea bags, coffee, hot choc and even shortbread in the room, along with a hairdryer. My daughter and I have only great memories of Orkney and this wonderful guesthouse contributed to the positive experience. Our twin room is modern, imaculate and cosy. However it's next to a hot water and central heating tank that is permanently heating up even through the night. Cars are safely parked in guesthouse private carpark and the location is easy to find and spot on for everywhere. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lucky find to my friends.

Room very comfortable. Appears to be in a purpose-built annex. Hostess very helpful. Breakfast in a shared dining room. Best to have a car here; not very close to centre of Kirkwall. Pretty close to Hatston ferry terminal (for Aberdeen/Lerwick).
