West End Guest House, hotel in Gorseness

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.

Our room was at the top of the building so it was quiet. The food at dinner was all fresh and we ate our way through the menu with relish.

Waterfront House, hotel in Gorseness

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.

Orcades Hostel, hotel in Gorseness

Offering free WiFi throughout the property, Orcades Hostel is located in Kirkwall. The units in the hostel are equipped with a TV. The private bathroom is fitted with a shower.

We love the facilities and everything are well organized. The location is not that fae from Kirkwall’s center. We can reach almost everywhere by walking distance. The bus stop is even nearby with supermarkets. I’d highly recommend for a group of friends, regardless of gender. I traveled with a group of female.

Merkister Hotel, hotel in Gorseness

Located on the shore of Harray Loch and family-run for over 30 years, the Merkister Hotel is a 15-minute drive from the main towns of Kirkwall and Stromness.

Must be the best hotel on Orkney. Wonderful position on Loch Harray. Central for all the key sights. A bonus if you fish is it’s on a loch and John the gillie is a star. Food good. This is a traditional hotel … absolutely not a boutique hotel (long may it last).

    Charming, picturesque area of Orkney.

    Charming, picturesque area of Orkney. Close to the Neolithic sites. Scenery is magnificent and the roads are good. It is definitely worth the effort to get to this northern island. Best eating spots are in one of the towns like Kirkwall which is in the center of the island and the cross roads to all the sites especially the WW2 sites. So much history on this island.
