Welcome to Castleyards Apartment 2 .....

Premier Host

Fabulous

This property was everything we expected and more. Centrally located, spacious, comfortable, immaculately clean, well equipped with convenient on-site parking. We loved our stay in Orkney, due in very large part to having Castleyards to return to after a day out exploring the many wonders the Mainland island has to offer. Fabulous!
