A wonderful place to stay as long as you don't mind driving. It was semi centrally located to most sites you may want to visit while in Orkney. The staff was excellent and extremely helpful. Breakfast was delicious and prepared to order. The restaurant offered a nice variety of meals for dinner as well as beer, wine, and cocktails. The tv room/lounge was always available if you wanted somewhere to unwind. The staff was also kind enough to allow me to stay there a couple of hours after checkout while awaiting my ferry. I highly recommend this hotel.

Amazing room. Fantastic breakfast with the chef cooking a perfect fried egg for a very fussy person and amazing porridge with rhubarb compote.

Stromness itself felt like a beautifully preserved jar of history and the Stromness Hotel was a perfectly fitting piece within it. We arrived quite late, but the staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth check-in for us. The rooms, though simple, were cozy and well-appointed.

Beautifully appointed wee cabin. They really made the most of the space and everything was finished to a high standard with cute little touches. We were able to cook and eat around the table as a family of four. It's a small space but the bunk beds were adorable for the kids and jacuzzi great for an evening under the stars after bedtime. The play structure was also great and there was a nice fenced in flat space to kick a ball in front with a lovely view. Would definitely return.

I loved the location of the property about 10/ 20 minutes drive from most of the historic sites we wanted to see. The house is about 10 minutes drive outside Stromness in a very quiet location, by a quiet roadside. The owner Simon was so friendly and couldn't have been more helpful and he responded to our requests for information immediately. The house has everything you need and was comfortable, warm and spotless and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the property. Love Orkney and thank you Simon for all the info and suggestions for spectacular walks, we even saw puffins at Brough of Birsay and enjoyed a delicious lunch in the Standing Stones Hotel listening to the Birsay boys play in the folk festival! Hope to return one day to explore the islands further.

    Loved the apartment, modern kitchen bathroom, great décor.

    Loved the apartment, modern kitchen bathroom, great décor. Richard was a very good host Just lacked a few extra touches, no teapot, no shampoo, soap or egg cups. Would have liked some milk in the fridge when we arrived and maybe a small welcome hamper considering that there was no breakfast
