Waterfront House, hotel in Finstown

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.

Breakfast options were available; cereal, bread, croissants, eggs. Tea & coffee in the room along with a mini fridge containing complementary water, juice, milk and chocolate. View from the room was incredible, and the location was peaceful although it was beside a road. The bed was very comfortable and I got a great sleep. The accommodation was very modern and well kept.

Merkister Hotel, hotel in Finstown

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).

Orcades Hostel, hotel in Finstown

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.

West End Guest House, hotel in Finstown

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.

Despite being un-manned, the process of getting keys and the pre-check in info was all very good. Rooms were fine and clean, good shower. Nice touch to have wine glasses and crockery/cutlery in the room so if you wanted to get a takeaway you could bring it back.

The Royal Hotel, hotel in Finstown

Located in Stromness and with Standing Stones of Stenness reachable within 8.5 km, The Royal Hotel provides a restaurant, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

Outside of hotel bit disappointing but inside was much better. Enjoyed our dinner at their restaurant down the street. Lovely sleep, good shower, lovely breakfast. Loved the pictures on the breakfast room walls and the staff were informative. There is no on-street parking outside the hotel due to the narrow streets of Stromness but the parking is only a few minutes walk away. We had a great walk in the evening and in the morning went uphill to the viewpoint behind the hotel. Fabulous view over several islands in the sun- stunning! Orkney is just amazing

    There is not much in Finstown itself, but our stay at Butterfly Lodge was excellent. The Pod has everything you could need for a short stay. The bed was comfortable, bathroom excellent and the sofa was comfortable. Kirkwall, a short distance away was a marvel, although Stromness was a little less than we expected. A visit to Scara Brae is essential, it is a wonderful place.

    Great for accessing all the A, B and C roads, but visitors should be aware that many of the B roads have passing places. In my opinion this adds to Orkneys charm. Bus stops near the property for travel to Kirkwall, Stromness, and other locations. While the property is near the main road, there really is no such thing as "rush Hour" on Orkney. the road is only mederately busy when people have a ferry to catch. Post office and excellent local store are nearby. With Kirkwall having both a Lidl and Tesco for larger shopping. The people of Orkney have a beautiful scots accent, even when using the local dialect.

    Nice village beside the sea at a crossroads with an efficient post office, shop and garage. Ideal base for touring East, West or North and South. It is 10 minutes from Tingwall for ferries to Rousay, Egilsay and Wyre. It is 10 minutes from the Standing Stones at Stenness and 15 minutes from Ring of Brodgar. It is 15 minutes from Kirkwall and not much longer to Stromness. It has an excellent bus service, if you want to leave the car behind for a day or 2.

    A village halfway to Stromness handy for the ferry terminal at Halton. Be sure to book a taxi or catch the service bus - its a bit far to walk! There is little to do here and the best places to eat are in Kirkwall (6 miles) A chip van and mobile sandwich/coffee van are to be found in the lay-by on the edge of town. Regular bus services will take you towards Stromness and the main Neolithic monumnents but don't ignore Cuween Hill Cairn which is on the hill behind Waterfront House

    Finstown is a lovely little town with great views of the sea. There is an amazing burger van (Leigh's) every day in the car park till 2pm and I can thoroughly recommend it. It is only 15mins from Stromness, so an easy drive from the ferry,

    Finstown is an attractive seafronted village. Sadly no pub!

    Finstown is an attractive seafronted village. Sadly no pub! Some beautiful gardens in the houses up Heddle Hill. Midway between Stromness and Kirkwall, it is easily reached. Roads in Orkney are the best I have come across in the UK and the standard of driving is excellent, Orcadians are very friendly people
