We stayed in Westrow B&B while exploring Orkney for a couple of days and Kathy was very helpful before we arrived, organising booking arrangements via e-mail. She also sent us a PDF file of an Orkney tourist brochure which had gorgeous photos in it and helped put us in the mood for our trip. We were a little disappointed that... More

My friend and I spent four nights at the Westrow Lodge and found it absolutely perfect for our needs. Our room was spotless and quite large for the two of us. Unlike many rooms we stayed in, our beds were nicely located on opposite sides of the room. The place is quiet and we felt we had a lot of... More

We are delighted you found your stay at Westrow Lodge perfectly suited your needs. Our large family room is great for two people wanting twin beds as one is king size and the other across the room is double size giving the occupants a much more luxurious experience than a typical "twin room." The large screen Apple computer in the... More

We had a wonderful stay at Westrow Lodge. Kathy and Keith were great hosts. They are full of local information and give you a regular morning update on weather and good places to visit. The breakfast was really good and set us up well for the days of exploring the beautiful Islands. I would highly recommend this lovely place and... More

We were looking for something in the beautiful Orkney countryside and Westrow fit the bill perfectly! The rooms are nice and spacious and the common lounge is a perfect spot to relax, other than in your bedroom. Beds are comfy like your ones at home and we loved the size of them. Kathy pointed out some activities that can only... More

Kathy promised to make my six-day stay comfortable and memorable - and she succeeded. She and Keith were attentive and informative hosts, and they managed to make me feel like one of the family. Kathy's breakfasts set me up for the day, and thereafter I really appreciated being able to come and go as I pleased. The island is fascinating:... More

We enjoyed our stay with Kathy and Keith. The room for the kids was quite small, but comfortable and suited them fine. Our room was large and extremely comfortable. Kathy "worked a miracle" with breakfasts and we enjoyed the food. This is a good central place to stay as you tour all of mainland Orkney and the attached islands. Found... More

Westrow Lodge was a charm which we found! Kathy was generous to take us last minute. Luckily 1 room was not occupied for us. Super location overlooking Scapa Flow. Quiet. Great sleep. Beds are long enough for people who are almost 2m...unlike other B&Bs in Scotland. However the toilets across Scotland are always a nightmare. Never-the-less, a spacious Bathroom. Too... More

Thank you very much for your review. I am truly sorry that you left Scotland thinking our toilets are a nightmare. On further investigation I am convinced that the problem is with our Eco Toilets.
