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.

This hotel is well located, the room was comfortable, but there is no bar and no restaurant (happily there is a Spar in front of the hotel). A lady welcomed us, and immediately left the hotel after our arrival... but we had everything in the room, so no problem with that. Apparently they are expecting a new lease in the coming months, reason why the situation is a little bit strange.

    Dounby is situated at a crossroads with an hotel, post...

    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.
