You can see that the Orkney Hotel must have been something else in her day, and the new owners are bringing her back a little at a time.

Staff members were friendly, and we received an upgrade when our heating malfunctioned. Orkney is a fabulous place to visit...scenic, quiet... More

The room however was the only downfall as my room in particular was very small, and for a 3 night stay, it did become cholstrophobic. However, this was the only downside, the friendly staff and excellent food made my stay worthwhile. This... More
