    On our way to Orkney this is the perfect location for the ferry. Super room so clean. Great shower, had to wait a little for it to warm up. The breakfast was out of this world!! They offer a 6:30 am breakfast which was perfect for an early ferry...

    I asked for a vegan breakfast there was an excellent fruit platter, specially prepared vegan sausages and the offer of vegan butter. Excellent service Rooms clean and fresh. Even a library. Lovely hotel would definitely revisit.

    Breakfast and evening meals were very good. We were served both nights by Erin who was very friendly, helpful and attentative. Location was perfect for our trip along north coast and close to the Orkney ferry terminal at Scrabster.
