Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Birsay

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!

Rymmon Retreat, hotel in Birsay

Offering a garden, Rymmon Retreat provides accommodations in Orkney. This property offers access to a balcony, free private parking, and free Wifi.

Rymmon Retreat was a memorable stop on our three week trip through Scotland. The location was perfect (we went hoping to glimpse the Northern Lights but rain won that battle). It was starkly isolated as you would hope a property in Orkney would be but spacious, comfortable and well appointed. The sunset from the deck was spectacular (pre-rain) and we left regretting that we only had the one night. It definitely felt like "home on the road". Couldn't recommend it more highly.

The Stromness Hotel, hotel in Birsay

The Stromness Hotel is set in Stromness. This hotel offers free WiFi. Ring of Brogdar is 3.7 mi away and Standing Stones of Stenness is 3.7 mi from the hotel.

Spacious room, free parking, and friendly staff. I noticed the rating for the hotel is poor; but it is better than I expected. It is just an old hotel.

Located on the shore of Harray Loch and family-run for over 30 years, the Merkister Hotel is a 15-minute drive from the main towns of Kirkwall and Stromness.

Everything was exceptional: the room, the setting, the food, but most of all the staff! Debbie checked us in and checked up on us several times through our stay. She was a delight!

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Birsay

Featuring views of Scapa Flow, Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast is a detached house in a rural location near Stromness. Free WiFi and free private parking is available on site.

Choosing Lindisfarne B&B, Stormness was the correct decision made for the trip made to Orkney. Hosts (Deborah, her husband) were warm, friendly and very welcoming. Even though the arrival at the premises was late, they were up to receive us and guide us to the room. Room and insuite bathroom were meticulously clean, bed were comfy and ac maintained the temperature of the room well. Deborah took care of preparing the delicious and hot breakfast which was a treat ! Looking forward to staying at Lindisfarne B&B for next Orkney trip and definitely recommend to others as well.
