“This family-run hotel seems to embody true Orcadian hospitality, and its location is ideal for those keen to explore nearby archaeological sites, notably Skara Brae; the recently refurbished rooms include tea and coffee making facilities, but it's a pity the restaurant is currently closed. The bar, however, remains a warm, traditional space serving local whiskeys and beers, enhancing the strong community feel.”
