3. The Shore

Kirkwall

"We were very pleasantly surprised to learn our 1 room family suite had 2 separate bedrooms. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Only issues were that we only had 1 key which made it tricky every time we went separate places. Also there was an illuminated exit sign in the king bedroom we had to cover up it was so bright, and when others shut their doors it would thump ours. Loved the skylights, was a bit stuffy but those helped. Loved the breakfast!"

Top Shapinsay Hotel Reviews

The Ayre Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The suite with living room/kitchen, bedroom and bathroom is a modern addition to this long established hotel. Faultless. The buffet breakfast was good but limited staffing and one morning when busier than usual, the staff were stretched."

Albert Hotel

8/10 Good

"Recently renovated room. Very comfortable and great shower."

The Royal Hotel Stromness

10/10 Excellent

"Come and enjoy proper hospitality in a proper hotel with wonderful people. Just like it used to be before life was overtaken by digital awfulness. If you want room service ordered through your TV then stay away. Sensational breakfast (that can also serve as lunch and beyond). Our second visit since 2022, the hotel holds a special place in our lives."

Ferry Inn Stromness

10/10 Excellent

"The Ferry Inn is delightful. The place is only bettered by the amazing family that runs it. Home away from home… excellent food, well appointed rooms and sparkling clean … we will be back!"

Smithfield guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect place to stay in the quiet and laid back village of Dounby as it is close to a lot of archeological sites which are about 10 to 20 minutes away in every direction. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great food as well. Spacious parking in the back. There is a gas station and a market across the street so you don’t have to worry about driving too far to refuel and get food. This place will be my go-to the next time I travel to Orkney Islands!"

Murray Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the tour of the facility and our room. Help with parking was so useful for ease of getting out of the lot. My wife needed medicine kept cold and ice packs frozen and had no issues having this done for us. Because we were leaving before breakfast a to go meal was provided for us."

The Orkney Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice location in the town center. Parking available front and rear. Big clean bright rooms with great bed n and pillows and huge bathroom. Breakfast is very good, nice helpful staff and amazing choice of local drinks in the bar."
