    There is not a great deal of choice for accommodation in Kirkwall. I was concerned about this hotel but it actually turned out nicer than we expected. Breakfast was pretty good.

    From arrival we were met with a friendly lady on reception, unfortunately I can't remember her name but she was very helpful, professional and made us feel welcome. The hotel in general was clean, tidy and had a homely feel. Myself and my partner...
