The Royal Hotel, hotel in Birsay

Located in Stromness and with Standing Stones of Stenness reachable within 5.3 miles, The Royal Hotel provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

This was a great hotel that provided an excellent starting off point for our all day adventures on Orkney. It is right by the Ferry for easy access. The room was clean, there was an extra alcove for a second bed for our daughter, and the breakfast was great. The room was over a bar which was a little noisy on Saturday night but not excessive and honestly we were so tired it wasn’t a problem.

Waterfront House, hotel in Birsay

Waterfront House in Finstown provides adults-only accommodations with a private beach area and a shared lounge. This beachfront property offers access to free Wifi and free private parking.

Beautiful room in a beautiful setting. Outstanding shower, comfortable bed, all the amenities you’d want. While the hosts said they don’t provide breakfast, they sure made up for it by setting up a breakfast area with fresh fruits, milk and dried cereals, breads and croissants, fresh eggs and an electric egg cooker so you could make your own. The view from the room was exceptional and the hosts were lovely.
