"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

3. The Shore

Kirkwall

"We were very pleasantly surprised to learn our 1 room family suite had 2 separate bedrooms. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Only issues were that we only had 1 key which made it tricky every time we went separate places. Also there was an illuminated exit sign in the king bedroom we had to cover up it was so bright, and when others shut their doors it would thump ours. Loved the skylights, was a bit stuffy but those helped. Loved the breakfast!"

Albert Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice modern hotel, well located in town close to harbour"

Grainbank Mews

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely stay! Albert and Aileen run a beautiful B&B - spotless, quiet, and so conveniently located. Albert was very helpful, offering to answer any questions even after we checked out. We also got to meet their dog which was very welcome after nearly two weeks away from our own. I’m not usually a B&B person but I would definitely stay again. And I would wholeheartedly encourage anyone to give it a try."

Royal Oak Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The owner was so warm, hospitable, and willing to help with any problems I had. He really went out t of his way to make me feel comfortable and cared for. Breakfast was wonderful---lots of hotels and cold choices in a clean, cozy breakfast room. Parking lot was easy to enter and leave with ample space for all cars."

The Sands Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was expensive for what it was but I guess there are a lot of tourists in Orkney and not a lot of accommodation! Over £200 a night for a small room, double bed (not king). The rate did include breakfast, which was adequate (order from list the night before). The hotel did have a restaurant - food was fine - and a bar and friendly barman. Staff were lovely altogether. I have never been to Orkney before so can’t make any comparisons but I suspect this may be among the better places to stay. Lots of room to park the car. Sea view."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Finstown?

The best area to stay in Finstown is within the village itself, particularly along the A965, as it offers the most convenient access to local amenities and attractions.

Finstown is a compact village, and staying close to the main road, the A965, puts you within easy reach of its services. This central location means you're never far from the local shop, the post office, or the village hall. The village is located on the edge of the Bay of Firth, offering pleasant views and a sense of being in the heart of Orkney.

For couples looking for a tranquil base to explore Orkney, Finstown is an excellent choice. It's well-situated for day trips to both the West Mainland's prehistoric sites, such as the Ring of Brodgar and Maeshowe, and the capital, Kirkwall. You can enjoy a quiet evening in the village after a day of sightseeing, with a local pub often providing a welcoming spot.

Travellers with a car will find Finstown particularly convenient. Its central position on the main island means that driving to any major attraction across Orkney is straightforward, typically within a 20-30 minute journey.

When is the best time to go to Finstown?

The best time to go to Finstown is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is at its mildest and the days are long.

During this period, you'll experience the longest daylight hours, sometimes referred to as "simmer dim," which means it rarely gets truly dark. This provides ample opportunity for exploring the numerous historical sites and natural landscapes around Finstown and the wider Orkney Islands. The average temperatures are typically between 12°C and 16°C, making it comfortable for outdoor activities.

Couples looking for an active holiday will find this time ideal for walking, cycling, and enjoying boat trips to see wildlife or explore smaller islands. The longer days mean you can pack more into your schedule without feeling rushed. It's also when most local attractions and visitor centres are fully open with extended hours.

For those interested in local culture and events, the summer also sees a number of festivals and agricultural shows across Orkney.
