The welcoming staff, the clean and cosy room, the nice bar and lovely food, the complimentary dram in the room. The location while not particularly picturesque is extremely convenient

"A comfortable hotel with friendly staff in a very convenient location for the ferry to Stromness."

9.0

The hotel was in an excellent location for a one night stay before catching the ferry to Orkney in the morning. Parking was easy and the ferry was just a few steps away. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant close by and my room had a view of the harbour.
