Traveller reviews

“Comfortable traditional hotel with good service & good food”
16 Jun 2025
Comfortable & mostly traditional hotel with very good unpretentious food. Staff were friendly & helpful and service was good. Food portions were very generous, with lots of well-cooked vegetables. Staff were careful and accommodating of my fish & seafood allergy. Room and bathroom were comfortable, though a bit dated. Location on loch was very pleasant. Shortbread provided in room was lovely.

“Lovely staff and location for cycling, but for the price disappointing for vegetarians.”

Breakfast was good, though I can always eat more fruit. I could put my bike into a covered storage area. The location was perfect for cycling around Orkney mainland, however I had no other evening meal options within reach. Staff were lovely, hard working and accommodated my meal times for catching ferries.

“Very relaxing and enjoyable stay”
10 May 2025
Location was amazing, the view from our room overlooked a beautiful loch where we could take an evening stroll. The staff were lovely and the meals special. Very sad to leave.

“Everyone at the hotel made us feel amazingly welcome !!”

All staff were amazing and a big shout out to Debbie for introducing us to her 6 Labrador pups as we were leaving. The location was as tranquil as it can possibly be. We were lucky to see fab sunset !!
