The best shower of my whole trip! Fabulous staff, helped re-range our stay when flights were cancelled. The room was lovely and spacious but the shower was amazing, hot and strong after walking around on a snowy day. Heavenly!

The people are friendly, helpful and accommodating.

The people are friendly, helpful and accommodating. A lovely area to walk, take photographs and watch birds. Fantastic archaeology - everywhere, but I was the most impressed with Maesehow. You need to book a tour ahead to visit, and the archaeologist's talk was excellent There are regular buses to Kirkwall passing near the Ness of Brodgar. Ferries to Hoy and the Mainland There is a late opening Co-op with easy parking. Pack good waterproofs and a woolly hat - even in summer, it is windy. Beware 2 flight UK journeys to Kirkwall with short transfer times between. My first flight ran a bit late and my suitcase didn't arrive at Kirkwall until the next day. It seems this is far from unusual, so pack accordingly just in case.

Very nice visit. Limited eateries in May.

Very nice visit. Limited eateries in May. I didn't make a reservation at the Ferry Inn for the second night and they wouldn't let me in. Perhaps the hotel could have provided more insight or help making reservations. Other Scotland towns I visited (NC500 route) did make reservations because their towns are so small.

The Orkneys was vey beautiful with fantastic scenery but our trip was spoilt by the Stromness Hotel that we stayed at. (BIG MISTAKE). The owners should go to school and learn how to run a hospitality business as they haven't got a clue, unless you are the same ethnicity as them.

Stromness is a beautiful sea village that is in many ways untouched by time. The people are genuine and friendly, there are ample places to walk to discover little gardens and views, plenty of unique shops. There are not a lot of restaurants in the evening, but the two that are actively open are fantastic and their staff will make your visit memorable.

Delightful small historical seaport town built on the side of a hill best seen on foot due to narrow Main Street with many small ‘closes’ off leading to the traditional houses Free parking available in port area and most of old town accessible from there - easy walking Museum is worth a visit When coming ashore from ferry take a break and explore the town - the history is amazing from Captain Cook to John Rae through to the herring fishing and the modern ferry terminal

The Pier Arts Centre is well worth seeing - awesome architecture as well as art. The Vintage Paper Company (Printing) is a hidden gem, and look out for Otto, the shop dog. The Museum is good to see if you are happy walking through lots of interesting old streets and want to learn more of the social history of the area,
