Independent hotels in Kirkwall, Scotland

"This was an excellent base for daily island 'hopping' which was the purpose of my trip. It was quite a bit more expensive than their hotel accomodation, but I needed the flexibility of being able to self cater early breakfasts and (sometimes) late dinners. The catering facilities were relatively basic - and I wouldn't have wanted to have planned to prepare full meals from scratch - but for my purposes (fried egg and beans on a bagel on repeat!), perfectly adequate.

"Enjoyed my stay. It was fireworks night and I could see the harbour display from my room window. The room was clean and the bed was a decent size for a single. The food was really good too."

"Clean & basic but comfortable. Street parking free after 5pm - 9 am nearby. Stairs & lift available. Had dinner in pub after a couple of beers and was good. Barmaid Anita brilliant! "

"Very accommodating and friendly host, nothing was too much trouble. Our dogs were also made to feel very welcome! Bed was very comfortable and the room was clean and warm. Breakfast was amazing, nicest haggis I’ve ever tasted. "

"Lovely place with charming and hospitable hosts. The breakfast was excellent. "

"Very nice and cosy hotel with good sized rooms and complimentary breakfast "

"Fantastic stay. I would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Orkney. My room was beautiful with everything you could need. My bathroom was fantastic with a bath and a great walk in double shower with rain shower. The food is fantastic and I would highly recommend eating here even if you aren’t a guest. All in all a fantastic stay and hopefully I will be back soon"

"Liked Wayne’s welcome, his story and the coziness and cleanliness of the cabin."
