"Didn't realise it was on the port so nothing to look at."

8.0

Location was perfect for the ferry to Orkney. After a'busy' afternoon the pub part quietened down and it was very peaceful. The restaurant was not too busy but the lady who ran it was excellent. Did early b'fast for us so we could catch the ferry.

Bedroom a bit cramped

Perfect location if you are getting the ferry, plus free car park just opposite.

Restaurant didn't have our first choice of food or drink on the menu. Only one bedside table
