The Sands Hotel, Orkney 4 stars

Hotel in Burray Village

Set in a 19th-century building, The Sands Hotel, Orkney is situated along the shore of Scapa Flow in Burray village. It has a bar, a restaurant and beautiful sea views. Our room and ensuite was very spacious and clean. Little extras in addition to tea and coffee were very much appreciated. All the staff from reception to restaurant were so helpful and attentive. Location was very handy to St Margaret's Hope ferry. Great range of menu in restaurant for breakfast and dinner. It was obvious that many of the locals also come to enjoy the restaurant. Would highly recommend The Sands.

The Orkney Hotel 3 stars

Hotel in Kirkwall

Located in Kirkwall, 2.7 km from Scapa Beach, The Orkney Hotel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. Orkney hotel is well situated in the heart of Kirkwall, right next to St. Magnus Cathedral and near to the town centre. Staff was warm, friendly and hospitable and even though the check-in was late at midnite, night manager was on guard to provide the keys and helped with the parking of car. The hotel as well as the selected King Room provided the vintage look, along with the artistic poster bed and other furniture. Netflix on a big screens tv in the evenings was good to relax , added by the jacuzzi in the the bath - the icing on the cake ! Breakfast was good though options were limited. Even we were given the small packed breakfast a night before the next day early checkout, which was very thoughtful gesture from the staff. Large selection of whisky at the hotel's bar was attractive. Overall, though pricey esp. in off season but a good stay to spend short time in Kirkwall.
