"We were very pleasantly surprised to learn our 1 room family suite had 2 separate bedrooms. Beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was nice. Only issues were that we only had 1 key which made it tricky every time we went separate places. Also there was an illuminated exit sign in the king bedroom we had to cover up it was so bright, and when others shut their doors it would thump ours. Loved the skylights, was a bit stuffy but those helped. Loved the breakfast!"

"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

Top South Ronaldsay Hotel Reviews

Northern Sands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"After a less satisfactory night in a much more expensive hotel, I suddenly had to book this one at the last minute because of travel chaos. What a great find. The room was ideal for doing some work (maybe a wee wifi extender would have made it even better and quicker), and it was great to be able to eat on-site - and that was good quality too. I'll certainly be making this my go-to in the far north when I'm in the area."

Castletown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stay here every time up in Caithness on business. Very comfortable rooms and food is excellent reasonably priced & huge portions."

Greenland House B&B

8/10 Good

"This was a centrally located bed and breakfast in a lovely old home. The room was very small and there was no desk or anywhere to sit other than one chair. The bathroom was well equipped and breakfast was good. I might have been the only guest so it was very quiet - but very convenient to the ferry terminal just 7 miles away."

Albert Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, central to everything and easy to get to from the North Link Ferry. Orkney is lovely and the people wonderful IF you stop and listen. Will be back."

Celtic Lodges

10/10 Excellent

"Wayne is super helpful! lovely stop for a nice, clean lodge."

The Orkney Hotel

8/10 Good

"Staff really friendly and helpful, nice quiet room as we had our dog. Lovely breakfast."

Ferry Inn Stromness

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful staff!"

Graemeshall House

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely and accommodating host with lots of local knowledge and history. Spacious, comfortable and private rooms. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection. Would come back any day and highly recommend to anyone. The personal touch and interaction with the host was appreciated and the perfect touch one would ask for a true Bed and Breakfast experience."

Royal Oak Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The owner was so warm, hospitable, and willing to help with any problems I had. He really went out t of his way to make me feel comfortable and cared for. Breakfast was wonderful---lots of hotels and cold choices in a clean, cozy breakfast room. Parking lot was easy to enter and leave with ample space for all cars."
