Room was large, very comfortable and clean. Check in and check out was very fast annd efficient. Our room faced the street and we could hear vehicles driving by during the night. Other rooms not facing the road might be quieter. No restaurants or food service on the property and it’s a bit of a walk to the restaurants.

The guest house is in a great location, the rooms are spacious and well cared for. It is in a very busy road, so if you are a light sleeper it may be an issue for you, but they do have ear plugs available.

Lovely guest house within an easy walk of the train station and town center. Comfy bed and large bathroom. Apparently it was purpose built as a guest house some years ago, not converted from another building, which explains the size of the bathrooms. No lift. Allowed me to store luggage between checkout and sleeper train departure in the evening.

This was a very nice hotel in the heart of Stromness. Easy walk to shops and restaurants, and staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was clean with a comfortable bed. Parking is at the ferry parking lot within walking distance, free overnight with a fee during the day. We enjoyed our stay here.

The location is perfect for access to the train station (including the Jacobite train) and bus station, just a 7 minute walk. We had a nice view from our window. The room was very clean and we had everything we needed, including coffee and a press. Good quality tea as well with sugar and milk. The only thing which might be a problem for some is the traffic, which does quiet down about 10 and the sounds from other rooms around you. The activity above is easily heard. We were quite tired at the end of the day and it was not much of an issue for us. It is a lovely place to stay and close to everything.

Comfortable, clean room with new fixtures, everything perfect. Great shower. Quiet, very solid-seeming. Beautiful view over the town out to the water. No breakfast provided, but there is plenty of coffee and tea, plus a small fridge—we got breakfast stuff at Tesco the night before (5 minute walk) and it was grand. Highly recommended.

Great stay

It was a very nice room, very comfortable. Our room and the rest of property was extremely clean. There was a nice lounge downstairs. Brandy (owner???) was super helpful and friendly. Guest house within walking distance to train and bus station and to shops and restaurants in the town center. I'm only sorry we stayed one night.
