Albert Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location in central Kirkwall. Ate in Bar on successive evenings and the food was excellent. No dedicated parking but a pay parking site right outside with civilised charges and times so no problem there."

The Ayre Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean & comfortable, however it was noisy from car park outside window and from laundry next door. Draft from window, had to keep blind and curtains closed, to keep warm. Disappointed that even after discussing with 2 members of staff on 2 separate occasions, requirements for dog friendly room & eating, in advance of our visit, we were made to feel uncomfortable, when request not initially adhered to. Breakfast was plentiful & tasty first day, second day choice was limited. (little left)"

The Sands Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful location. Room was comfy and cozy. The bathtub was amazing after a day out exploring. The room we had had windows looking at the sky / and a beautiful view over the water. It was quiet and lovely. The restaurant was fairly priced and delicious. The included breakfast was delicious (and hot) and plentiful. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I was sad to leave it felt like home after just a couple of nights. There was lots of parking (free)"

The Shore

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean and comfortable. It needs to be made clearer in hotel advance information what the situation is. I was not aware until I arrived that the hotel I was staying in was in fact an annexe of the hotel nearby. That was a bit of a surprise. Being able to leave my luggage before and after check-in/check-out was appreciated when transport to and from the Ireland was early or overnight. Food and drink was of a high quality but rather expensive."

Luxury Self-Catering Traditional Family Farmhouse in John o’Groats, Caithness

10/10 Excellent

"3rd time staying at this amazing house. It's spotless, spacious and very comfortable. Plenty of parking room. Hosts are nearby if anything is needed. It is the perfect place to stay."

Cosy Highland retreat with countryside and sea views.

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I had the best experience at Sarah’s VRBO. From all of Sarah’s prompt communications, to her directions to help us find her place, to suggestions on where to eat and buy food- we couldn’t be happier with our stay. Sarah’s place was quiet, rather remote (but what we needed after several hectic days of travel) and well situated for seeing the sights around John O’Groats, Thurso and the North Coast 500. Sarah is above and beyond one of the best hosts we have ever encountered on our travels (staying at VRBOs). My husband and I look forward to staying at Sarah’s VRBO again in the future only for a longer period of time."
