Reviews of Castleyards Apartment 12

Kenneth
I absolutely loved the decoration of the apartment! It was so tastefully done, with beautiful furnishings and a cozy atmosphere. The general areas of the hotel were also well-maintained and clean. As a senior woman, I really appreciated the ease of accessibility throughout the hotel. The hallways were wide enough for me to maneuver my walker and the elevator made it convenient to reach my room. It made my stay very comfortable and enjoyable.
If I could ask for one thing for a better vacation for senior people, it would be for the staff to provide a bit more assistance. While the children working there were polite and friendly, it would have been helpful if they offered more assistance with carrying my luggage or providing information on nearby attractions.

Incredible location in the heart of the charming old town. The host was absolutely lovely and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. It was so convenient to have free parking nearby. The apartment had a great vibe and was equipped with everything we needed, including fast wi-fi, an electric kettle, and cookware. The cleanliness was impressive, and the bed was ridiculously comfy. We were just a stone's throw away from all the shops and restaurants. a mind-blowing experience in a jaw-dropping location. Can't wait to return to this hidden gem in Orkney!

The decoration in the apartment was absolutely charming, with beautiful artwork and cozy furniture that made me feel right at home. The general areas were well-maintained and accessible for senior people like myself, with wide hallways and an easy-to-navigate layout. It was a delight to explore the apartment and enjoy its thoughtful design.
I would have loved to see more assistance available for senior guests, such as handrails in the bathroom or grab bars in the shower. The children working there were helpful, but having these amenities would have made the vacation even more enjoyable for us older folks.

The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed for our Christmas stay. The kitchen had all the necessary utensils and appliances, making it easy to cook up a festive feast. The location was also great, with shops and restaurants just a short walk away. It was convenient to have everything we needed right at our doorstep.
As someone who had never encountered one before, it would have been helpful to have precise directions on how to use it. we found it frustrating that the lock box location was not properly indicated on Google maps, leading to confusion and difficulty in finding it.
