Amazing location just outside Stromness. Beautiful views of the bay and the hills. Lovely guest living room that we had to ourselves being the only guests at the time. Lovely breakfast with stunning views. And let’s not forget the gorgeous Tyson who my wife would have happily took home! Next time we return to Orkney we will definitely be looking to book back in.

Royal Oak Guesthouse, hotel in Stromness

Royal Oak Guesthouse, a property with a shared lounge, is situated in Orkney, 2.2 km from Scapa Beach, 17 km from Maeshowe, as well as 19 km from Standing Stones of Stenness.

Arriving late off the Northlink ferry is sometimes a challenge for getting booked into places and obtaining keys and parking can be an issue. This however was perfect with its own car park and the room keys and a welcome note left for my arrival. The room was prepared ready for my arrival, heating and lights on and curtains closed. The en-suite room was warm and comfortable with all the usual shower gel, shampoo, tea and coffee etc. The breakfast was perfect and the owners/staff very welcoming and friendly. I've definitely found my place for when work takes me to Orkney :-)

Aultnagar Accommodation, hotel in Stromness

Set in Orkney and only 14 km from Maeshowe, Aultnagar Accommodation offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking.

The property is well located and about a 3km walk from the centre of Kirkwall. The property was very clean, well decorated and comfortable. The owners live in the house but there is a separate entrance for guests and it felt very private. There was a range of cereals, fresh fruit and bread available for breakfast and the host also asked whether we would like pancakes; there was also plenty of sauces and toppings.

    Lovely spacious house, spotlessly clean, beautiful view. Host was very helpful when the internet wasn't working - very nice lady. A bit of road noise first and last thing but was quiet overnight. Never heard the neighbours. Great location for all the Neolithic stuff. Highly recommended.
