I liked St Magnus Cathedral, the Museum and also visited the ruins of the Bishop's Palace and the Earls'. It was exceedingly useful to finally locate the bus terminal and utilise it to get to Scarabrae which was excellent, and has a lovely info centre and Cafe; and Skail House (total contrast) which was included in the admission ticket. The next day I went to Stromness to visit the Pier Gallery which was superb. Spent a Lovely day walking and enjoying the little Braes etc. A enjoyed Stromness very much. I was dismayed to find that the bus service didn't easily get me to other sites of interest, like the Italian chapel. Also Maeshoe (sp) was booked out for days. Very Happy to have visited Orkney, but it was challenging without a carGuest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Plenty to see and do.
Plenty to see and do. Tourist shops and cafe’s quite expensive. A day at the beach costs nothing! We visited Newark beach. A treasure trove for shell or pebble collectors. The Kirk Gallery & Cafe was the perfect place for my birthday brunch.Guest review byNicol - 10.0

We enjoyed walking round the town and visited the Cathedral, which was really fascinating. We found a little cafe very close by on the right side of the Cathedral as you face it, we had delicious coffee and scones there! There is so much to do and see in Orkney, we needed much longerGuest review byBernadetteUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Great centre for visiting all the sights,beaches shops & we were blessed with a sunny weeks weather.We loved the historic sights and The Neuk Hotel food was great value.If self catering The Brey has everything you could want.Guest review byFarmer - 8.0

We visited off season and rented a car (from Drive Orkney - who were great and uniquely allow their cars off Orkney for a small surcharge). You do need to get around the island(s) and a car or organised tour is necessary. We are told peak season is very busy. We went in February, which could have been awful weather but we really lucked-out with cloudless blue skies and sunshine. The main island (mischievously named 'Mainland') has the most astonishing archaeology from the Neolithic (c.3500 BCE) to the Iron Age.Guest review byNickUnited Kingdom - 10.0

I really enjoyed the social life, the locals are so friendly. We went to Kirkwall to play Orkney at rugby, but unfortunately the pitch was frozen. So we will return to play the fixture at the eng of March, another chance to meet new friends!Guest review byTerryUnited Kingdom

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.9Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 55 reviewsEverything. The apartment is located in a lovely part of the old town. When we arrived we found a welcome pack of provisions, which meant we didn't have to go out that evening. Nice touch. Wil was really helpful with any queries we had. Would highly recommend this delightful property. Would certainly book again if revisiting Kirkwall.Guest review byMoyraUnited Kingdom
- From £230 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.8Good - What previous guests thought, 239 reviewsSpacious, comfortable suite. Breakfast was at the Kirkwall hotel next door. Good choice of food. Friendly staff. Barman gave me almost a double shot for a single as it was the end of the bottle. Good location on the waterfront. Free parking nearby which always had spaces.Guest review byKathleenUnited Kingdom
