Exceptional stay. The accommodation was excellent and the food was fabulous. The staff are very friendly while remaining professional. The restaurant is highly regarded for its dinner menu and rightly so. However, the breakfast is also excellent with 5 cooked options, including 2 fish options. All the food is locally sourced. I can highly recommended s say here.

Thank you to Albert and Aileen for a wonderful stay at Grainbank Mews. The room was beautiful and sparkling clean, with a delicious breakfast prepared for us each morning. Great location, just outside Kirkwall and a couple minutes' drive to all the shops and restaurants. We were really curious about life on Orkney, and Albert was very kind and informative, even pointing us in the direction of the 'Orkney Dictionary' (which I bought!) This place is a treasure and we would love to stay again the next time we are in town.

Very warm welcome from staff. The room was spacious, warm and very comfortable with quality bedding and pillows. Very good shower, great cooked breakfast, with choices, and free parking.

Beautiful spacious room, with spacious modern bathroom and cosy bed. Lovely breakfasts, excellent cosy private bar. Parking close by/out front if you time it right. Staff - amazing! Chef so lovely and lady on breakfast duty also - helped set up so we could watch the All Blacks v England rugby match early in the morning. Chef also showed some interesting local events being the Orca visiting the harbour. Made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts were great - lots of choice

    Lovely and quiet village with all the essentials but lacking evening meal options during the week. However Kirkwall is only 6 miles away with restaurants, takeaways and larger shops. Stenness and Brodgar are on the doorstep so really handy for early morning or late evening visits as alternative to the busier times. A great base from which to visit all of the sites of the North and West coasts. There is a good walk up the hill behind the village that takes in some modern stone pillars and a much older, more interesting Neolithic cairn. It's also possible to follow the marked St Magnus trail over the brow to get a view not only over Finstown but to the coast on the other since of the hill.

    Finstown is a nice little town about 10 minutes from Kirkwall. It is ideally located to visit some of the island's premier attractions. It is quiet and peaceful but still within a very easy drive to Kirkwall.

    Finstown is centrally located for touring.

    Finstown is centrally located for touring. It has a general store and a pub although I didn’t visit the pub. For electric car drivers, it has a car park with a couple of chargers which is handy. There’s also a good walk up the hill to Cuween cairn.

    Make your adventure to Orkney and it's landscape with a comfortable place to relax and enjoy in Finstown after a day exploring this area. Once you exit NorthLink Ferries, stay right onto A965 towards Kirkwall to Finstown a small community with simple ammenities that serve the locals and you should you choose.

    Location was excellent for the major tourist sites. It was only 7-8min from Kirwell including its major supermarkets and was on the western side of Kirkwell which made it closer to the Ness of Brodgar, Stromness, Skara Brae and the Houton ferry to the Scapa Flow museum.

    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.
