Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Birsay

Situated on the Orkney Island, 14 miles from Kirkwall, Smithfield Hotel offers 3-star accommodation with free parking, a bar, and a restaurant. Kirkwall airport is 30 minutes’ drive away.

The location was close to the standing stones and Ring of Brodgar. The reception was accommodating when we had to leave early and could pack our breakfast. The taxi service is right around the corner, which is useful to get around when the designated driver would also like a pint.

The Royal Hotel, hotel in Birsay

Located in Stromness and with Standing Stones of Stenness reachable within 8.5 km, The Royal Hotel provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

Outside of hotel bit disappointing but inside was much better. Enjoyed our dinner at their restaurant down the street. Lovely sleep, good shower, lovely breakfast. Loved the pictures on the breakfast room walls and the staff were informative. There is no on-street parking outside the hotel due to the narrow streets of Stromness but the parking is only a few minutes walk away. We had a great walk in the evening and in the morning went uphill to the viewpoint behind the hotel. Fabulous view over several islands in the sun- stunning! Orkney is just amazing

Waterfront House, hotel in Birsay

Boasting a private beach area and views of sea, Waterfront House is a guest house set in a historic building in Finstown, 5.7 km from Maeshowe.

Breakfast options were available; cereal, bread, croissants, eggs. Tea & coffee in the room along with a mini fridge containing complementary water, juice, milk and chocolate. View from the room was incredible, and the location was peaceful although it was beside a road. The bed was very comfortable and I got a great sleep. The accommodation was very modern and well kept.

Lochview, hotel in Birsay

Lochview is set in Swannay. The accommodation is 31 km from Kirkwall, and guests benefit from complimentary WiFi and private parking available on site.

The accommodation was absolutely superb. We were amazed at the sizeable bedroom, bathroom, lounge and kitchen area and all the appliances available to us. We were fortunate enough to have booked for 4 nights and were so sad to leave. We enjoyed being right on the Loch with a lovely view, places to sit outside and relax, and a well recommended place to stay. Well done to Richard and Janet. Thank you so much.
