Breakfast was so tasty. I would recommend the scrambled eggs and toast any time. I can't even eat the bread once I came back home. It doesn't taste as good. I would recommend making a reservation for dinner also. The food was fresh and well cooked. And don't forget to order the fried cheese. 🤤

We ended up here thanks to another hotel cancelling our booking. Reviews didn’t look good but we found it quite ok. Our room was recently renovated, it was bright airy, the staff were great, and breakfast was lovely. They are in the middle of changing things in the hotel so I can see it coming back to its glory days in the not so distant future. It also looks like the Munsterrs home at night!

This property is a great location to explore the island of Orkney and also close to ferries for visiting other islands. We had a nice view of Kirkwall staying in Room # 1, ample space for relaxing after a day of exploring.

Best hostel we have ever stayed in! So clean, with a well-equipped and super organized kitchen and lovely dining/living room! Felt more like a nice hotel. Hosts were fabulous and so accommodating. The location is perfect and very walkable to pubs, grocery stores, St Magnus Cathedral, the Visitor Center, bus stops, etc. We will definitely return!

Stenness is a small village that has several Neolithic sights close by. There are fantastic standing stones which you can go close to. Also there is a fishing loch. The village has a petrol station with a shop. You really need a car to get around mainland Orkney. Stenness is situated 3 miles from Stromness where there are several shops and supermarkets

We usually had evening meals at the Merkester Hotel which is nearby. Definitly recommend this place. We had a lovely walk in the little wood at "Happy Valley". Philip told us about it. Other walks at nearby Yesnaby cliffs and Scara Brae beach which are nearby. Quaint little streets at Stromness where we got of the ferry.

Stenness is not far from Stromness on the road to Kirkwall, but nothing's far on Orkney Mainland. It really is an ideal focal point for your exploration of the islands.
There's an hotel and a shop/petrol station, plus an ice-cream parlour.
We ate in various places and would recommend - for lunch - Sheila Fleet on the East side of the island and the Birsay Bay Tearoom on the West. Both very busy. For dinner, we enjoyed excellent meals at the Ferry Inn in Stromness and the Merkister Hotel near Dounby.
Check out the tours - the ones we joined were 1st Class.
