Dog-friendly stays

We're pretty relaxed when it comes to holidaying with your pooch. We just have a few 'hound' rules we kindly ask you to follow during your stay: 

  • Your four-legged friend is welcome in all areas of the hotel, apart from restaurant and the lounge (unless assistant dogs).
  • If you would like to dine with your pup, meals can be enjoyed in our Highland Park Bar.
  • Our team are armed with doggy treats - we'll always ask before we dish these out!
  • All dog-friendly stays must be pre-booked so that we can make sure you have the best bedroom for your stay. 

We ask just one thing in return: please consider the comfort of other humans, keeping your hound on a lead where necessary and being sure to calm them if they become a bit excited! We understand, we're excited too, but it's always good to be considerate!

Dog-friendly bedrooms need to be pre-booked; a fee of £20.00 per night applies for each pup (2 pups max).

Please call 01856 872232 to book a dog-friendly room.

Sustainable stays

Green tourism

We understand the importance of our responsibility for future generations and how the choices we make at The Kirkwall Hotel, if they're not environmentally driven, could affect this.

As a business, we don't do 'green' by halves; we're evolving our operations to protect our natural environment from any adverse effects our hotel could have.

We believe that making conscious changes, implementing them in every aspect of your stay and actively seeking out more ecological choices, is more about the journey than the destination. This is why we're proud to say that we've taken our first steps towards adopting a smart, sustainable outlook from top to bottom, showcasing efficient and eco-friendly decisions.
