Pet-friendly hotels and homes in Orkney Islands

Beautiful location, convenient to all of Orkney!

Our stay was most enjoyable. In addition to an excellent breakfast, our morning meal was made all the better by discussions on the Orkney islands, background on sites worth seeing and information that made our exploration of the islands easier. The location served us well for visiting a number of historic sites and the capital, Kirkwall. Our room was supplied by essentials most B & Bs don't provide. If we were returning to the Orkney islands, we'd welcome the opportunity to return Orkney Bed and Whisky.

Great hosts! The hotel is right by the ferry pier. The island is brautiful.

What a wee gem the Murray Arms is, and so close to the ferry when we arrived late in the evening. The staff were amazing, our accommodation was wonderful and the food was fantastic!

During my recent visit to Orkney, I had the pleasure of staying at the Kirkwall Hotel. This historic property exceeded expectations on all fronts. Exceptional Staff: The staff at the Kirkwall Hotel were incredibly professional and supportive. Their attentiveness and willingness to go the extra mile made my stay truly memorable. From assisting with taxi arrangements to facilitating an extended stay due to a missed flight, their genuine hospitality was exceptional. Unmatched Location: The hotel's location is unbeatable. Situated in the heart of Kirkwall, it provides convenient access to a variety of amenities. Lidl, Tesco, restaurants, souvenir shops, and the magnificent Magnus Cathedral are all within easy walking distance. Historic Charm: The Kirkwall Hotel itself is a treasure trove of history. The corridors are adorned with captivating historic pictures, offering a glimpse into the past. A particularly delightful surprise was the beautifully preserved guest register dating back to 1948, adding a unique touch to the ambiance. Peaceful and Inviting: My room was impeccably clean and offered a serene atmosphere, free from any disruptive noise. The view of the harbor was an added bonus, providing a picturesque backdrop to my stay. Highly Recommended: The Kirkwall Hotel offers an exceptional combination of comfort, history, and exceptional service. Whether you're a business traveler or a leisure guest, this hotel caters to a truly enjoyable stay. I would highly recommend the Kirkwall Hotel to anyone visiting Orkney. In fact, I look forward to returning myself in the future.

Great place to overnight a few days. Loved that you can cook your own food. Located just minutes from the city center.

Very clean room and bathroom! Simple and understated, very close to the ferry and conveniently close to restaurants.

Amazing and interesting place! It used to be a pub, so there's a bar in the living room. Host provided peat charcoal to burn in the little fireplace. Large "commercial" kitchen that used to support the pub, so don't expect a stylish residential kitchen. That said, there are two refrigerators and lots of prep space. Bathroom is very minimal, but my grown daughters LOVED staying here with the neighbor's animals straying into our yard, the dart board in the living room, and the beautiful rustic surroundings outside of the city. Everyone got their own bed, and there was lots of room to spread out for a family of 5. Would highly recommend staying here if you want a taste of local color (**Note: if you're looking for a polished hotel or professional bed and breakfast, this is not the place.**)

Location snd room had fantastic view
