The Hotel is situated just opposite the North Isles ferry terminal, should you wish to take a short trip to explore some of the picturesque outlying islands.

Festivals, fishing, fine local crafts - Orkney offers ample to do throughout the year, whatever the weather. Or just come and relax, enjoy our hospitality and forget about the stresses of everyday life! There are regular flights to Kirkwall airport, and excellent ferry services from the Scottish mainland - all taking in some spectacular scenery!
