Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Swannay

Situated on the Orkney Island, 14 miles from Kirkwall, Smithfield Hotel offers 3-star accommodation with free parking, a bar, and a restaurant. Kirkwall airport is 30 minutes’ drive away.

Friendly staff. Waited to book us in after we arrived on ferry at 11pm. Very good breakfast freshly cooked. Good situation to get around mainland Orkney

Merkister Hotel, hotel in Swannay

Located on the shore of Harray Loch and family-run for over 30 years, the Merkister Hotel is a 15-minute drive from the main towns of Kirkwall and Stromness.

Must be the best hotel on Orkney. Wonderful position on Loch Harray. Central for all the key sights. A bonus if you fish is it’s on a loch and John the gillie is a star. Food good. This is a traditional hotel … absolutely not a boutique hotel (long may it last).

The Royal Hotel, hotel in Swannay

Located in Stromness and with Standing Stones of Stenness reachable within 8.5 km, The Royal Hotel provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

Outside of hotel bit disappointing but inside was much better. Enjoyed our dinner at their restaurant down the street. Lovely sleep, good shower, lovely breakfast. Loved the pictures on the breakfast room walls and the staff were informative. There is no on-street parking outside the hotel due to the narrow streets of Stromness but the parking is only a few minutes walk away. We had a great walk in the evening and in the morning went uphill to the viewpoint behind the hotel. Fabulous view over several islands in the sun- stunning! Orkney is just amazing

Waterfront House, hotel in Swannay

Boasting a private beach area and views of sea, Waterfront House is a guest house set in a historic building in Finstown, 5.7 km from Maeshowe.

Breakfast options were available; cereal, bread, croissants, eggs. Tea & coffee in the room along with a mini fridge containing complementary water, juice, milk and chocolate. View from the room was incredible, and the location was peaceful although it was beside a road. The bed was very comfortable and I got a great sleep. The accommodation was very modern and well kept.

West End Guest House, hotel in Swannay

West End Guest House is set in Kirkwall, 1.2 km from Highland Park Distillery. Free private parking is available onsite. Certain rooms feature a seating area for your convenience.

Despite being un-manned, the process of getting keys and the pre-check in info was all very good. Rooms were fine and clean, good shower. Nice touch to have wine glasses and crockery/cutlery in the room so if you wanted to get a takeaway you could bring it back.

    Loved the apartment, modern kitchen bathroom, great décor.

    Loved the apartment, modern kitchen bathroom, great décor. Richard was a very good host Just lacked a few extra touches, no teapot, no shampoo, soap or egg cups. Would have liked some milk in the fridge when we arrived and maybe a small welcome hamper considering that there was no breakfast
