Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Gorseness

Located on the Orkney Island, 14 miles from Kirkwall, Smithfield Hotel offers 3-star accommodations with free parking, a bar, and a restaurant. Kirkwall airport is 30 minutes’ drive away.

We had a tire that was leaking air. They had a friend who has a car repair business on their personal property - that person identified a small leak on the tire sidewall, so the tire would need to be replaced. The Smithfield then called around and found a shop that had our tire size and they make an appointment for us to get the tire replaced. This was amazing because the local tire shops were slammed with business and somehow, they got us an appointment quickly. The staff at this hotel went above and beyond to help us with our tire problem and we are extremely grateful for that! Breakfast and dinner were very good!

    Charming, picturesque area of Orkney.

    Charming, picturesque area of Orkney. Close to the Neolithic sites. Scenery is magnificent and the roads are good. It is definitely worth the effort to get to this northern island. Best eating spots are in one of the towns like Kirkwall which is in the center of the island and the cross roads to all the sites especially the WW2 sites. So much history on this island.
