4.5(406 reviews)

About

Look for Pooles in Orkney for local business accommodation, a guest house on Muddisdale Rd in Kirkwall, the island group's main town. Kirkwall sits on the Orkney mainland, and the guest house address is Muddisdale Rd, Kirkwall KW15 1LR, United Kingdom, placing it within the town rather than out on a remote island.

Reaching the guest house from elsewhere in Orkney is straightforward because Kirkwall anchors the road network that also links Stromness, Finstown, St Margaret's Hope and South Ronaldsay. Hoy and Westray lie further out and are reached by ferry rather than by road. As a guest house, Pooles provides overnight accommodation, and a rating of 4.5 out of 5 from 406 reviews points to a well-used base for visitors.

Five photographs of the property are on hand for anyone planning a stay. The website http://www.pickaquoy.co.uk/ carries further information about the property.

Orkney's summer brings long daylight hours and busy ferries, while winter sailings are often cancelled by weather. Grey seals breed around British island coasts, and basking sharks appear in summer surface waters. Smoked fish, island cheeses, fudge and bakery bread are sold in island shops and harbourside cafés, and English is the everyday language of the islands.
