Poor really. Not much choice, and no condiments without asking. And no toast without asking. Not that impressed.

Not very much really. We had to book into another hotel further along from ours, we were then taken back to our room to be shown where it was located. After going through a few corridors and doors we were shown our room.
The room was clean and adequate for one nights stay, after getting off the 11-00pm ferry, we were disappointed! There was no view from both windows, we were facing brick walls of a rubbish dump garden.
The other hotel was fully booked, because it was obviously more appealing than ours. Breakfast was not included, and was £35 extra to the £160 we paid for our room. Absolute scandalous!

We were only there one night.
Located on the shore of Harray Loch and family-run for over 30 years, the Merkister Hotel is a 15-minute drive from the main towns of Kirkwall and Stromness.
The location is in mainland Orkney. It is situated between Kirkwall and Stromness and not far from any of the tourist sites. It's a short drive to the Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar and nature reserve. It's not a long drive to the Churchill Barriers and the Italian Chapel. The only downside is if you want to eat out at night you have to either go to Kirkwall or Stromness to find it. We ate at the Kirkwall Hotel and the food was very good, the service excellent and fast. For nature/bird lovers, it isn't far from the Hobbister reserve, nor is it far to go to get to the Loons reserve. The reserve at the Birsay moor hide is a little further but worth it to see Red Throated Divers and chicks. The Earls Bu and Orphir round church are well worth a visit. St Magnus Cathedral is free. Everything is in reasonable distance, a trip to Deerness to see the Gloup is amazing. And the wartime history from both world wars is all around the island.

Orphir is a Small Village that we did not strictly stay...
Orphir is a Small Village that we did not strictly stay within but the area that is a great central location to explore from being well connected, someone commented on the lack of signposts but quite honestly you dont need them and you soon have your bearings with plenty of free local maps, Smithfield's Hotel we found great a few times when we wanted an midday or evening meal otherwise we eat out and about wherever we where, you not going to starve :-) A Great Central Quiet Location Orphir with so many activities around to do We would return again without any hesitation.
