"Stayed, two adults, two kids. Room was slightly updated from the pictures- two beds vs the picture showed bunk beds. Overall nice, black out curtains, room enough for all our bags. Breakfast included was tasty and perfect. Would def stay again. "
"We loved staying at the Sands hotel and wished we could have stayed longer! Facilities, location and food fantastic,
Thankyou for making our Orkney trip memorable - You even laid on lovely weather too !!"
"Great place for our short visit to the Orkneys! Very close to the ferry service, easy overnight parking, very close to most of the Neolithic sites we wanted to see, and great breakfast each morning. "
"Our room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was spacious with plenty of places to put/hang your toiletries or clothing on. I think the walls are thin because it was quite noisy. The shower pressure was weak and although breakfast was good, there were no millk alternatives. "
"We had a wonderful time at Burnside during our road trip through Scotland. Our suite was comfortable and provided all we needed. We loved walking around the tranquil setting and making friends with the local sheep. Our host was friendly, attentive, and the food wonderful. She lent us binoculars and guided us to the best places to see puffins. We’re happy we had the opportunity to stay there."
"The Ferry Inn is a combination hotel/pub with breakfast included on our booking. We ate dinner both nights in the pub restaurant. The food was good & they had several choices for each course. The location was excellent for the Scrabaster/Stromness ferry & it was easy to navigate to Kirkwall & all the sights."
"We loved our stay. The home is conveniently located mear to the ferry. It is also not far to drive to a number of historical sites.
The home cooked breakfast was lovely, and the view from the dining room was beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful stay! "

"We found the room to be very comfortable and en suite superb the dinning area was great and food top class not to mention the friendly staff so helpful really loved our stay would highly recommend it"
"The comfort and cleanliness of the room were both excellent. What impressed us the most was the absolute perfect choreography of breakfast being served! The food was delicious and everything was served in perfect order so hot goods were hot and cold foods were cold when eaten. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Wonderful stay!!!"
"Pros: Friendly staff. Fantastic English breakfast. Great location, walking distance from the ferry terminal and all stores near the Stronmess waterfront. Even without an elevator, the parking location made it easy to access the room. Beds were clean and comfortable. Showers had nice high water pressure that gave a massage feeling.
Cons: The building is historic, so the floors had older carpet. Newer flooring, e.g. newer carpet or luxury vinyl plank could improve the stay experience.
Parking area had mosquitos after the rain.
Mosquito counter measures may have been helpful. E.g. Spaying, stratgeically placed zappers, torches, etc...
This was our first visit to the Orkney islands. We visited in August. Insect repellant is highly recommended when visiting certain areas on the island. The local people were all very friendly.
Overall, the Stromness hotel was a great experience. My family and friends all had a fun time. We would stay at this hotel again if we were to visit the Orkney Islands."
"We just stayed one night before the ferry to Orkney. The room was comfortable and really clean. Staff were friendly and helpful so top marks to the team.
Great breakfast included in our rate was a bonus. I'd definitely stay here again. "
