I liked St Magnus Cathedral, the Museum and also visited...
I liked St Magnus Cathedral, the Museum and also visited the ruins of the Bishop's Palace and the Earls'. It was exceedingly useful to finally locate the bus terminal and utilise it to get to Scarabrae which was excellent, and has a lovely info centre and Cafe; and Skail House (total contrast) which was included in the admission ticket. The next day I went to Stromness to visit the Pier Gallery which was superb. Spent a Lovely day walking and enjoying the little Braes etc. A enjoyed Stromness very much. I was dismayed to find that the bus service didn't easily get me to other sites of interest, like the Italian chapel. Also Maeshoe (sp) was booked out for days. Very Happy to have visited Orkney, but it was challenging without a carGuest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Plenty to see and do.
Plenty to see and do. Tourist shops and cafe’s quite expensive. A day at the beach costs nothing! We visited Newark beach. A treasure trove for shell or pebble collectors. The Kirk Gallery & Cafe was the perfect place for my birthday brunch.Guest review byNicol - 10.0

We enjoyed walking round the town and visited the Cathedral, which was really fascinating. We found a little cafe very close by on the right side of the Cathedral as you face it, we had delicious coffee and scones there! There is so much to do and see in Orkney, we needed much longerGuest review byBernadetteUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Great centre for visiting all the sights,beaches shops & we were blessed with a sunny weeks weather.We loved the historic sights and The Neuk Hotel food was great value.If self catering The Brey has everything you could want.Guest review byFarmer - 8.0

We visited off season and rented a car (from Drive Orkney - who were great and uniquely allow their cars off Orkney for a small surcharge). You do need to get around the island(s) and a car or organised tour is necessary. We are told peak season is very busy. We went in February, which could have been awful weather but we really lucked-out with cloudless blue skies and sunshine. The main island (mischievously named 'Mainland') has the most astonishing archaeology from the Neolithic (c.3500 BCE) to the Iron Age.Guest review byNickUnited Kingdom - 10.0

I really enjoyed the social life, the locals are so friendly. We went to Kirkwall to play Orkney at rugby, but unfortunately the pitch was frozen. So we will return to play the fixture at the eng of March, another chance to meet new friends!Guest review byTerryUnited Kingdom

- From $405.49 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very Good - What previous guests thought, 363 reviewsThe hotel is atmospheric and very centrally located while being on the seaside. It is a short walk to ferries and buses and also to the cathedral and museums in Kirkwall. We loved the more spacious room 102 (although being just over a bar is not the best location for a Friday night - unless you are in the bar at that time as well :) This was a navy headquarters building so plenty of objects reminding of the past. The reception and restaurant staff are lovely and also very helpful.Guest review byMilenaUnited Kingdom
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Wonderful - What previous guests thought, 263 reviewsStacey was so welcoming. Her room was excellent. Bed comfortable and the on suit with walk in shower was perfect. It is only at most a 10 minute walk to to Kirkwall with plenty of cafes and restaurants with plenty of choice for places to eat. Thank you Stacey I would definitely recommend as a place to stayGuest review bypeterUnited Kingdom
