    This is an excellent hotel well situated for easy access to everything Kirkwall and the Island have to offer. The room (208) is beautifully presented. There is minimal noise from outside. I was unaware of any noise from other rooms. The fresh décor and generous room size were a welcome surprise. Breakfast was good with a decent selection on offer. I ate in The Neuk which can be accessed from within the hotel and has an extensive menu offering a wide range of local produce at reasonable prices.…
