The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was grateful for the slightly later check out time which meant that I could get to parkrun and then shower afterwards. I liked the style and decor of the rooms and around the hotel - clean and simple.

Not very much really. We had to book into another hotel further along from ours, we were then taken back to our room to be shown where it was located. After going through a few corridors and doors we were shown our room.
The room was clean and adequate for one nights stay, after getting off the 11-00pm ferry, we were disappointed! There was no view from both windows, we were facing brick walls of a rubbish dump garden.
The other hotel was fully booked, because it was obviously more appealing than ours. Breakfast was not included, and was £35 extra to the £160 we paid for our room. Absolute scandalous!

Breakfast was freshly cooked, waitress was cheery and obviously enjoyed her job. Gave her a tip, as normally everyone forgets the breakfast staff.
Well worth the ferry ride and then some! Between Stromness and Kirkwall, neolithic and medieval ruins, beautiful scenery, the creative trail, educational opportunities, shops and cafes and restaurants and bars, there is so much to see on the Orkney Islands -- we just barely scratched the surface. We didn't even get off the main island, much to my regret. Seriously: However much time you're planning to spend here, double it, then triple that. It still won't be enough.

Situated in a stunning location, the hotel had everything I could have asked for. Great food, a nice bar and warm friendly staff. Even provided us with a packed lunch as we had to leave before breakfast on the last day to catch our ferry.
