The room was large and very comfortable. The location is good, being a short walk from the main street of Kirkwall, and the cathedral and other sites, as well as being easy to get onto the roads to tour the island.

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

Exceptional stay. The accommodation was excellent and the food was fabulous. The staff are very friendly while remaining professional. The restaurant is highly regarded for its dinner menu and rightly so. However, the breakfast is also excellent with 5 cooked options, including 2 fish options. All the food is locally sourced. I can highly recommended s say here.

    Make sure you both book ahead and download the guide before...

    Make sure you both book ahead and download the guide before going. Orkney is far less accessible than it used to be. Now wverything has to be booked ahead so the freedom of travel holiday I had a few years ago - seeing things on a whim is no longer available.. The Tomb of the Eagles has closed - rediculous.
