We took a car on the ferry from Scrabster which allowed us to roam over Mainland and easily get into town. I'm not sure how comprehensively the public transport covers the island, and don't recall seeing a lot of public buses, so for our (2 night) stay, with lots of sightseeing stops, it was the right call. Had a great evening meal from the specials board at Lucano, near St. Magnus Cathedral.Guest review byRobertUnited States - 10.0
Kirkwall is worth visiting.
Kirkwall is worth visiting. It is clean and tidy with local attractions worth visiting. It is a lovely town with all the facilities needed if exploring further afield is not your thing. Ferries to outlying islands are in the harbour with other ferry terminals being only a short distance away. Car hire is and worthwhile and makes exploring the island easy. There seems to be a very effective bus service in Kirkwall too, just an short walk from the centre.Guest review byAnonymousUnited Kingdom - 8.0

I liked St Magnus Cathedral, the Museum and also visited the ruins of the Bishop's Palace and the Earls'. It was exceedingly useful to finally locate the bus terminal and utilise it to get to Scarabrae which was excellent, and has a lovely info centre and Cafe; and Skail House (total contrast) which was included in the admission ticket. The next day I went to Stromness to visit the Pier Gallery which was superb. Spent a Lovely day walking and enjoying the little Braes etc. A enjoyed Stromness very much. I was dismayed to find that the bus service didn't easily get me to other sites of interest, like the Italian chapel. Also Maeshoe (sp) was booked out for days. Very Happy to have visited Orkney, but it was challenging without a carGuest review byAnonymous - 10.0
Plenty to see and do.
Plenty to see and do. Tourist shops and cafe’s quite expensive. A day at the beach costs nothing! We visited Newark beach. A treasure trove for shell or pebble collectors. The Kirk Gallery & Cafe was the perfect place for my birthday brunch.Guest review byNicol - 10.0

We enjoyed walking round the town and visited the Cathedral, which was really fascinating. We found a little cafe very close by on the right side of the Cathedral as you face it, we had delicious coffee and scones there! There is so much to do and see in Orkney, we needed much longerGuest review byBernadetteUnited Kingdom - 10.0

- From US$182.52 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.2Very good - What previous guests thought, 361 reviewsFantastic location and delightful hotel with a great restaurant. Room 314 was triple aspect with three good windows straight onto the fishing harbour. Masses of room and nice bathroom and accessories throughout. Comfortable bed. Restaurant food very nice - more choice would have been helpful as after two nights we had eaten everything we wanted to try. More seafood would be good - never saw lobster or crab listed on the menu. Scallops were huge and juicy and the best ever.Guest review byGTLUnited Kingdom
