This hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and clean with good beds, and surprisingly quiet at night despite being on the main road. However, the room felt a bit empty over breakfast hours one morning. The service was friendly and helpful, but the dining experience was mediocre. The location was ideal for exploring Orkney, with easy access to attractions and amenities nearby.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms that offered tea and coffee making facilities. Although a bit noisy in the morning due to nearby activities, the cozy downstairs lounge with a view of the main street and crossroads was a nice touch.

The hotel is located right on the road between Skara Brae and Kirkwall, making it easy to find and a convenient base for exploring the historic and natural sites of the western side of the island. The rooms, while comfortable, were a bit outdated and the price seemed higher than their value. The service was friendly and helpful, although sometimes the young staff needed additional assistance. The dining experience offered a warm and friendly atmosphere with quality ingredients, while the facilities were satisfactory overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very loud due to being above the restaurant and bar of the property, although the staff at the restaurant were fantastic. The rooms themselves felt outdated and overpriced, but the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious.
