Stayed here whilst working on Orkney for a few days! Nice hotel for what I needed it for. WiFi signal was a bit dodgy in the rooms but fine down stairs in the bar/ restaraunt. They were going to check this out so should be sorted by now! good selection of food available too. More

We spent two nights here on an 11 day tour of Scotland and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our room was bright and clean with superb views over the Loch and various groups of standing stones. Our welcome was warm and the service received personal and attentive throughout. It is rather pub-like as someone has pointed out, but the bar meals are... More

I liked a lot about this hotel.It overlooks a loch and you can see the Standing Stones.Our room had a great view.The reception staff were friendly and we had a good meal in the bar.I feel it is a bit expensive though .The rooms are quite small and we had no bath .It was £84 a night for each room.This...

I recently stayed here with my partner and in-laws and was very impressed to say the least. I understand that they recently went through a change of management and that the hotel is going through a period of renovation. (These things do not happen overnight). The hotel is perfectly located for those wishing to visit The Heart of Neolithic Orkney... More

Small room, beautiful view over loch. Food OK but service a little on the slow side. Not great at boiling an egg - needed two efforts at soft boiled egg and both ran from the shell on their own!! Decor a little shabby in places and windows could really do with a clean - when you have scenery like there... More

Not the best of places even allowing for a recent change of management. Purports to be 3 star but is basically a pub with a number of rooms. As a hotel it does not rate 3 star and is expensive for what you get. The food is not "chef" quality. One bedroom had the curtains laying on the floor, the... More

A modern building with decent rooms and a nice bar/reception area. Very friendly and helpful staff. In February the heating was turned OFF in rooms they knew would be occupied! My room was so cold that it took nearly two days to warm up after I turned on the radiator!! And the bathroom had no heat at all. AND the... More

An excellent location for touring the Orkenys. Rooms were clean, tidy and spacious. The staff were always friendly and helpful. If anything they could have been slightly more organised. On one occasion we had to ask for milk, then butter, coffee and fruit juice. Overall breakfast was lovely, especially the kippers!! On the whole this hotel has a lovely feel... More

Time to update these reviews I think. I stayed for one night after being on Orkney for a week performing in the St Magnus Music Festival (well worth atttending - as performer or audience). Reception was welcoming, price very reasonable, and the room was very clean, well-appointed and comfortable. The bars and lounges were well-maintained and welcoming. The bedrooms facing... More
