"Absolutely amazing location, and great host. All the appliances worked (and we cooked frequently in the kitchen that offered space enough for 2 to be comfortable). The bedrooms at the top of the stairs were compact but had a table and chair in each, for those who need laptop or writing space. The living room was cozy. (The toilet was a bit loud, but nothing egregious.) The LOCATION was fantastic. I was concerned that possibly there would be noise from the harbor across the street…nothing. Ships came and went. There’s a good bakery, amazing butcher shop, and at least one charity shop (and museum) within walking distance, let alone a Co-op for all basic necessities. Would be glad to stay here again! Much prettier than Kirkwall. "

"Friendly and very helpful staff. Lovely clean rooms. Excellent location for Kirkwall shops. "

"Car park was hard to find and located under 2 trees full of crows nest, little uneasy unpacking."

"Great location and access, though paid parking is a nuisance during an extended stay. Staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable if a bit oddly shaped, being squeezed into an older building. The breakfast cold buffet and full (hot) Scottish order process is more than adequate. The Bothy Bar is cozy and inviting, serving Orkney's great beers and whiskies."

"Beautiful location in Stromness. Expansive fields right outside your window and fresh breeze from the sea. The X1 bus is steps from your door if you don't have a car like me. The X1 can take you anywhere you want to go. Orkney was a bucket list trip for me due to the archaeology and you can get to all of it on the bus. Stromness is also where you want to stay if archaeology is your main point of interest. Everything is on your doorstep. Stromness town is only about a mile away. Stromness is small but charming and picturesque. Much prettier than Kirkwall. I chose to walk it as I got to visit with friendly sheep and noisy rooks! Your hosts are incredibly lovely and kind. They even ran me up to Maes Howe on a rainy morning when I booked the tour but didn't realize the bus was not running that early. Thank Goodness... Kevin also ran me right up to Cuween Hill on my last day there. I was nervous about getting lost!!! If you visit make sure you go to Cuween. It is the favorite of pretty much every "Historic Scotland" employee I spoke to. An incredibly intact burial tomb where they found 24 dogs skulls. Honestly, for me, more impressive than Maes Howe. I'm already planning my next trip. Only recently found out the ferry out of Stromness is great to do a day trip as you pass the Old Man of Hoy. Next time as I still have lots more archaeology to see and I must meet a Puffin IRL!!! Say hi to Tyson while you stay. Give him a bit of your sausage and you're friends for life!"

"Fabulous breakfast made to order, warm croissant delivered the minute you sit down, lovely dining room. Walk to the ferry in 90 seconds. A must-stay. "

"The ground floor is being renovated, so reception is at The Kirkwall Hotel next door. So there is investment here. That being said, hopefully the rooms and floors are next. The existing building is shabby, though my small, single room was functional at best. 5'x10', plus a small bathroom that could do with new sink fixtures. The tight shower had hot water and good water pressure. Staff next door were very helpful and welcoming. Park nerely anywhere "there's no traffic warden"."

"The room was great! Tea, water and hot chocolate complementary in the room. Great restaurant with a separate pub. The staff were the major highlight! "

"Ideally located hotel. Friendly and helpful staff "
