The Stromness Hotel, hotel in Orphir

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.

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast, hotel in Orphir

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.

Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Orphir

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!

    The location is in mainland Orkney.

    The location is in mainland Orkney. It is situated between Kirkwall and Stromness and not far from any of the tourist sites. It's a short drive to the Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar and nature reserve. It's not a long drive to the Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel. The only downside is if you want to eat out at night you have to either go to Kirkwall or Stromness to find it. We ate at the Kirkwall Hotel and the food was very good, the service excellent and fast. For nature/bird lovers, it isn't far from the Hobbister reserve, nor is it far to go to get to the Loons reserve. The reserve at the Birsay moor hide is a little further but worth it to see Red Throated Divers and chicks. The Earls Bu and Orphir round church are well worth a visit. St Magnus Cathedral is free. Everything is in reasonable distance, a trip to Deerness to see the Gloup is amazing. And the wartime history from both world wars is all around the island.

    Orphir is a Small Village that we did not strictly stay within but the area that is a great central location to explore from being well connected, someone commented on the lack of signposts but quite honestly you dont need them and you soon have your bearings with plenty of free local maps, Smithfield's Hotel we found great a few times when we wanted an midday or evening meal otherwise we eat out and about wherever we where, you not going to starve :-) A Great Central Quiet Location Orphir with so many activities around to do We would return again without any hesitation.

    Orphir is a small village and we didn't spend any time there...

    Orphir is a small village and we didn't spend any time there but all the major sites on the Orkney mainland are within an easy drive. We ate in either Stromness or Kirkwall. Most of our time was spent going to the well known neolithic sites nearby but we also went to live folk music in Kirkwall at the Reel. If you stay in Orphir you need a car.

    The Orkney Lodge is not in the village of Orphir but is just...

    The Orkney Lodge is not in the village of Orphir but is just next to the Ferry terminal near Orphir. Nothing to recommend it other than the good beds and the large room. The room had a strange set up with the sink in the room near the bed and not in the bathroom.
