"Beautiful location in Stromness. Expansive fields right outside your window and fresh breeze from the sea. The X1 bus is steps from your door if you don't have a car like me. The X1 can take you anywhere you want to go. Orkney was a bucket list trip for me due to the archaeology and you can get to all of it on the bus. Stromness is also where you want to stay if archaeology is your main point of interest. Everything is on your doorstep. Stromness town is only about a mile away. Stromness is small but charming and picturesque. Much prettier than Kirkwall. I chose to walk it as I got to visit with friendly sheep and noisy rooks! Your hosts are incredibly lovely and kind. They even ran me up to Maes Howe on a rainy morning when I booked the tour but didn't realize the bus was not running that early. Thank Goodness... Kevin also ran me right up to Cuween Hill on my last day there. I was nervous about getting lost!!! If you visit make sure you go to Cuween. It is the favorite of pretty much every "Historic Scotland" employee I spoke to. An incredibly intact burial tomb where they found 24 dogs skulls. Honestly, for me, more impressive than Maes Howe. I'm already planning my next trip. Only recently found out the ferry out of Stromness is great to do a day trip as you pass the Old Man of Hoy. Next time as I still have lots more archaeology to see and I must meet a Puffin IRL!!! Say hi to Tyson while you stay. Give him a bit of your sausage and you're friends for life!"

"Love this hotel.. highly recommend"

"Fabulous breakfast made to order, warm croissant delivered the minute you sit down, lovely dining room. Walk to the ferry in 90 seconds. A must-stay. "

"Good selection "

"Clean room, modern furnishings, nice towels and linens. Excellent breakfast and personable waiter."

"The hotel closed all food and beverage service. There was a notice on their website but no notice on Expedia. The surrounding town was largely closed too, so being without food options was not acceptable. The hotel emailed to confirm my reservation. I complained and asked for a cancellation and refund. They never answered. As the cost was prepaid, I guess I will not get my money back. Ultimately we booked into a hotel in Kirkwall. This was a shockingly bad experience. I would urge everyone to avoid this “hotel”."

"Ideally located hotel. Friendly and helpful staff "

"Very clean and comfortable accom - great to arrive (very late!) to lights and warmth. Very good facilities, private parking (a little tight) and very convenient for ferry to Scrabster and Stromness main street."

"Staff were friendly and welcoming, the room was incredibly clean and so comfortable, and the restaurant was delicious! Perfect stay! "
