"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!"

"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...

Graemeshall House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely and accommodating host with lots of local knowledge and history. Spacious, comfortable and private rooms. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection. Would come back any day and highly recommend to anyone. The personal touch and interaction with the host was appreciated and the perfect touch one would ask for a true Bed and Breakfast experience."

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 St Mary'S?

The best area to stay in St Mary's is the village centre, particularly around Main Street and the harbour.This area is the heart of St Mary's, offering easy access to essential amenities and the island's ferry services. Main Street is where you'll find most of the local shops, cafes, and restaurants, and it's a pleasant area for a stroll. The harbour is a focal point, with boats coming and going, and offers lovely views of the water.Couples looking for a relaxing break will appreciate the convenience of staying in the village centre. You'll be within walking distance of several eateries for evening meals and can easily catch a boat for day trips to other islands from the harbour. This allows for an easy experience without needing to rely on taxis or long walks.For those who enjoy a bit more seclusion but still want good access, staying slightly outside the main village, perhaps along the roads leading towards Hugh Town, can be a good option. You might find properties with more expansive views or larger gardens, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.
