“I'd say this inn's prime advantage is its proximity to the ferry, making it ideal for Orkney-bound travellers. The on-site restaurant, The Upper Deck, gets consistent praise, and the inclusion of breakfast seems to please most. Factoring in its history as the last hotel on the A9, it's a practical and characterful base for exploration.”
