"Loved it. Will always stay here in the future."

Loved the big front room we were given, the wonderful staff, the adjoining pub and restaurant, the ample parking and the proximity to the ferry terminal. The food in the restaurant was also great (had sea bass).

"Good for ferry to Orkney"

5.0

Location at Scrabster port for arriving /departing ferry to Orkney. Great breakfast and very friendly staff . Dinner was nice too (as is the Spanish tapas restaurant next door).

The rooms were ‘unloved’ and dated . The deck for drinks could do with some TLC.
