Smithfield Hotel, hotel in Dounby

Situated on the Orkney Island, 14 miles from Kirkwall, Smithfield Hotel offers 3-star accommodation with free parking, a bar, and a restaurant. Kirkwall airport is 30 minutes’ drive away.

The hotel is brilliant due to personal reasons the hotel does not offer evening meal or bar service which is understandable I would personally like to wish the owner and staff all the best for the future

West End Guest House, hotel in Dounby

West End Guest House is set in Kirkwall, 1.2 km from Highland Park Distillery. Free private parking is available onsite. Certain rooms feature a seating area for your convenience.

For un "unmanned hotel" I seen the owner more often that most manned hotels. Andrew was lovely, constantly helpful and always trying to assist. The hotel was clean, well maintained and comfotable enough. The location is PERFECT for a night out or in my case doing work on the mainstreet with everything within walking distance. There is parking for a car and plenty of restaurants nearby.

Waterfront House, hotel in Dounby

Boasting a private beach area and views of sea, Waterfront House is a guest house set in a historic building in Finstown, 5.7 km from Maeshowe.

The view from the room was incredible. It felt like we were on the water. We sat for hours witching the birds on the shore. Just as we were leaving three Curlew flew right past the window - almost a leaving present.

    Dounby is situated at a crossroads with an hotel, post office, pharmacy, co op supermarket and a couple of craft shops. Everything you need for stay of a couple of nights.However there is no choice of other places to eat and drink unless you drive to the Merkister Hotel a couple of miles up the road and it's not always possible to have meal there as we discovered because they can be booked up.
