Czech Republic“This is a great place to stay in Orkney. We had a great time. The restaurant on the ground floor is one of the best on the island and it is recommended to book in advance. Breakfast was nice, too. The location is nice with available paid parking...”- Lisa Canada“We loved our room, it was well arranged and fitted out with everything you need; the bathroom was very good, and a pleasant surprise in its size! It was so convenient to the ferry, bus, links, and walking around the beautiful downtown streets.”
