Benmora is an excellent B&B and made our stay in Orkney perfect. The location is perfect - 5 minutes walk along the marina to the town centre and ferries with room to park your car. The bedroom and en-suite were spotless and cleaned daily. The whole house is unstintingly warm which was very welcome when we returned very wet one... More

Beautifully appointed accommodation perfectly situated to enjoy Kirkwall, Benmora holds a prime position overlooking the harbour and is within minutes of the town itself. Carolyn is the perfect hostess, attentive without being intrusive and cooks a great breakfast. The house is spotlessly clean, bright and modern yet retains a cosy feel and the rooms are well provisioned with comfortable beds,... More

I had a two night stay in Kirkwall and so instead of staying in a hotel, I thought I would stay in a B&B instead to give me the freedom to expore the town. Benmora is incredibly clean, incredibly easy to find and seriously close to the harbour front. When I arrived, the owner, Carolyn, was extremely helpful in that... More

We use Benmora B&B everytime we need accommodation for our company. Carolyn is so helpful and pleasant to all guests. So glad to find a really good B&B that everyone asks for checking of availbility first before any other places in Kirkwall.

Stayed at Benmora in August 2011 for 3 nights. The rooms are really clean, comfortable and homely. The breakfast is superb. Carolyn, the owner, is great: nothing is too much trouble. The property is immaculate and I couldn't recommend this highly enough.

Carolyn is a wonderful and generous host. She cleans the room and refills the snacks every day. The room is high quality; good matress, excellent big shower cubicle. The view is a picture and the traffic noise minimal. There is a Guest Lounge with a different view of the harbour and approaches. All the boats, ferries and tall ships............ Breakfast,... More

Exceptional accommodation - clean, tidy, spacious with outstanding views of Kirkwall harbour and town - yet all within easy walking distance. However, people always help in the 'making' of a good holiday, and Carolyn definitely added that caring touch in anticipating problems, finding solutions to those problems and delivering absolutely fantastic service throughout our 5 day stay, which made for...

And I did when picking this B&B. The house was absolutely spotless and the breakfast was not only particularly good but negated the need for selecting somewhere for a spot of lunch. Even after checking out, I was given the run of the place as I had 14 hours to kill before my onward boat which was very much appreciated.... More
