Really good little hotel, very comfortable and clean. Sleep was slightly spoilt by the boy racer team that meets in the adjacent car park about 50m from the hotel bedrooms. The revving and tooting carries on until approx 2300. The food served is lovely, and the breakfast selection and quality was a pleasant surprise.

We have been travelling through Britain for 8 weeks and the staff at the Norseman were the most friendly, patient and helpful of any we have met. We are from Australia and I will be happy to tell my friends about our great stay.

As a stop-over, the night before getting the ferry to Orkney, I booked a twin room, with breakfast, through 'Laterooms.com', at a cost of £70. There was a free upgrade offer, subject to availability. The hotel was obviously going through a major refurbishment and some of the ground floor public rooms were very smart. However, there was a lot of... More

21 of us went for a meal here last night. From start to finish it was a really good experience. All went seamlessly, served by uniformed waitresses, with politeness and charm. Rounded off with a few drams in the newly refurbished bar area. You cant go wrong here......
