The breakfasts and dinners were superb with very generous servings, wonderfully fresh seafood including hand-dived scallops from the bay on offer for dinner (scrumptious). Staff were great, friendly, attentive and full of useful info. The village and bay is lovely, there's a good bus service so easy to get to/from the main centres and sights (a limited service on Sunday when you can go for walks around).

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.
