Set in Kirkwall, Orkney Islands region, The Shore is located 1.9 km from Highland Park Distillery. This 3-star hotel offers luggage storage space. The hotel has family rooms.

The single room was truly tiny but adequate; the facilities in the sister hotel, the Kirkwall, more than made up for that.

The Stromness Hotel, hotel in Kirkwall

The hotel has been completely shut for months. No warning or refund was given to us, either by the hotel or by booking.com. We arrived in darkness and rain, and it was sheer good luck that we didn’t spend the night outside.

    It‘s huge and perfect for families (not for us being a couple with a dog though). The location is rather quiet and a good start for touring the Orkneys by car. Beds are comfortable.

    The cottage was lovely, very spacious and clean. It is perfect for anyone with pets or children as has a lovely kitchen with dining table and 3 big bedrooms. The living room was spacious and comfy. We found the location good as we didn't want stay in the middle of town as well as had a car that allowed us to travel. It has a massive garden which was great for the dog.

    Amazing house, between farm and old stone mill, otherwise surrounded by pasture. Perfect heating for all rooms is available - good for Orkneys weather. The apartment is between Stromness and Kirkwall (closer to latter). Beautiful sandy beach can be reached by 30 minutes walk along a path just across the road. Pet/dog friendly!

    It is a good location for the Kirkwall ferries, shops and dog walking. The room was comfortable and clean, if a little basic.
