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
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.

Must be the best hotel on Orkney. Wonderful position on Loch Harray. Central for all the key sights. A bonus if you fish is it’s on a loch and John the gillie is a star. Food good. This is a traditional hotel … absolutely not a boutique hotel (long may it last).
The Stromness Hotel is set in Stromness. This hotel offers free WiFi. Ring of Brogdar is 6 km away and Standing Stones of Stenness is 6 km from the hotel. All rooms in the hotel are fitted with a TV.
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.

We love the facilities and everything are well organized. The location is not that fae from Kirkwall’s center. We can reach almost everywhere by walking distance. The bus stop is even nearby with supermarkets.
I’d highly recommend for a group of friends, regardless of gender. I traveled with a group of female.

Despite being un-manned, the process of getting keys and the pre-check in info was all very good. Rooms were fine and clean, good shower. Nice touch to have wine glasses and crockery/cutlery in the room so if you wanted to get a takeaway you could bring it back.

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.
