The Sands Hotel in Orkney is located in a small village, right across the street from the sea. You can enjoy a top quality meal in the restaurant, sit outside ( Orkney weather permitting) with a quiet drink from the bar, and loose yourself in the mesmerising sea. The rooms are all very tastefully decorated with everything you need. In the morning, enjoy a good breakfast to set you up for the day. Cannot recommend The Sands Hotel highly enough.

We like St Margarets Hope & so it is our preferred location when staying on mainland Orkney. Apartment had everthing we required including being able to cook a bit & get our clothes washed. Comfy bed & a good shower.

This place is so special. The cottage was beautiful, clean, and stocked with local goodies and everything we needed. Orkney island, west mainland, amazing in many ways. We loved it here!

The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was grateful for the slightly later check out time which meant that I could get to parkrun and then shower afterwards. I liked the style and decor of the rooms and around the hotel - clean and simple.

Not very much really. We had to book into another hotel further along from ours, we were then taken back to our room to be shown where it was located. After going through a few corridors and doors we were shown our room.
The room was clean and adequate for one nights stay, after getting off the 11-00pm ferry, we were disappointed! There was no view from both windows, we were facing brick walls of a rubbish dump garden.
The other hotel was fully booked, because it was obviously more appealing than ours. Breakfast was not included, and was £35 extra to the £160 we paid for our room. Absolute scandalous!

We have visited Orkney a number of times but have always been based around Stromness. It was nice to see another part of the island. The Sands Hotel is within easy walking distance and serves lunch and dinner.

Hotel was in a lovely location with sea view only a short drive from the ferry terminal small harbour area to front of hotel was nice but to the rear and side of hotel there was a boatbuilding repair yard and some sort of fish business other wasteland which was very untidy and not maintained which slightly spoiled the overall quality of hotel surroundings.

The village itself is quiet and agreeable without being spectacularly attractive: the hotel is at the core, in a water-front location, and supplies most of the excitement from a tourist point of view. But the location is generally a good one, within easy reach of Kirkwall and most of the Mainland sights in one direction and of South Ronaldsay in the other. The Italian chapel and the nice small town of St Margaret's Hope are both close. A good base for exploring the area.

very handy for Pentland firth ferry from GILLS BAY TO ST MARGARETS HOPE. only a ten minute drive to Kirkwall and thirty minutes to Stromness. Skara brae is about forty minutes away and you could drive around mainland in a hour and a quarter. Sands hotel in Burray had comfortable rooms and a great restaurant ,definitely look to book B&B
as breakfast will set you up for rest of day. Bus stop at road end of village about 150 metres from hotel with buses going all around island ,dont be put off even if you dont drive.
