An older property but a charming one. We had a great experience at the Orkney Hotel. The staff were kind and very helpful. Loved the location - great for walking about town and very close to St Magnus Cathedral.
Beautiful hotel. They have the best full scottish breakfast I have ever had. The breakfast room was lovely. The pub was very good as well. They are centrally located and very quiet. The staff were exceptional. Very comfortable room as well. So much history and atmosphere. I would love to stay there again!
