Hey I'm David and really look forward to helping you have the best possible stay in Orkney. I was born and bred in Orkney and am very proud of its reputation as the best place to live in the UK. Orkney is a unique and magical group of islands…. a place where you can look forward to being spellbound by its history, invigorated by its landscapes, relaxed by its atmosphere and warmly welcomed by its people ....and I'll do whatever I can to help you enjoy the best of what Orkney has to offer.

Castleyards Apartment 12 is a modern studio apartment situated in the heart of Kirkwall's town centre, and with free private parking it is ideally located for your stay in Orkney. The St Magnus Cathedral is just around the corner, with the Tourist Information and Travel Centre just across the road. From here you can easily explore the best of what Orkney has to offer. On street level Castleyards Apartment 12 is a bright and modern apartment, tastefully decorated throughout. The entrance hall leads to a fully equipped kitchen, and to an open plan dining and sitting room with sleeping area beyond. A bespoke fold-up (or Murphy Bed) can easily be folded against the wall to leave a larger, more open living area. The large screen TV is WiFi enabled with Netflix, YouTube etc. With all bed linen, towels, toiletries, teas, coffee's etc provided, along with WiFi throughout the apartment, you have everything you'll need for your stay in Orkney.

Orkney will immerse you in its rich tapestry of dramatic landscapes, amazing sunsets, stunning flora and fauna all mixed in with a rich culture 5,000 years in the making. Add this to one of the richest archaeological landscapes anywhere in the world, the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site, then you know you have arrived in a place like no other. From the spectacular and iconic Ring of Brodgar, to Maeshowe – the finest Neolithic tomb in Northern Europe, or the Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae – one of the best preserved groups of prehistoric houses in Western Europe, Orkney Apartments puts on the doorstep of Neolithic Orkney. You can even visit the live dig at The Ness of Brodgar – recently featured nationally on the BBC as well as the front cover of National Geographic magazine, this 3 hectare site filled with massive stone structures containing unique and spectacular finds is without parallel in Europe. Kirkwall itself boasts numerous shops and cafes, theatre, sports centre, 3D cinema, as well as 3 large supermarkets, and not forgetting Britain’s most northerly cathedral of St Magnus. We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful islands.....
