    We arrived in the afternoon and was met by Beth. Most welcoming. We had a drink in the bar and were met by friendly people. We also had dinner in the evening which was great. Lots of locals also were having dinner so a very popular place....

    The hotel is literally at the end of the world, a very nice place, the starting point to the Orkney Islands. Friendly staff and restaurant.
