United States of AmericaEverything went well at the Ferry Inn. The owners/operators were wonderful and very accommodating! The room was comfortable with lots of space! The room was newly renovated it felt clean and welcoming! There is a pub downstairs and the food there was excellent, as was the atmosphere when we dropped in for a draft before dinner! We loved it here!

United KingdomClean rooms. Friendly staff, greeted on arrival, shown to room and booked in for breakfast. Rooms well set out, good to have a area to store bags by the door and hang clothing. Perfect to pile into off the ferry and convenient parking. Cooked breakfast was good. Perfect location for both ferry and walking into town. Plastic barriers between tables in bar. TV on in bar but muted 😃. The beer was exceptional. We will miss Scapa Special on tap when back home.
