Look elsewhere and avoid.

Liked: Location, parking, staff and breakfast
Disliked: First room 101A -you open the door and are greeted by a long winding narrow corridor that ends in a room slightly bigger than the bed. No room for cases or to sit down (staff stated “this is one of the new room”). We asked to be moved and they obliged. Room 207, we were told was a more traditional room layout but was “an old room, yet to be refurbished“. You pay the same for either old or new which is ridiculous. The room was larger and suited us but that was the only good part. Toilet took 10 minutes to refill and would not fully flush, shower pressure was so low that you can’t get your head under enough to get it wet. TV could not get enough signal on any channel and may as well be removed. Bed was so soft and old you spent the night both rolled together in the middle and we are not big people. The hotel is very old but that does not give reason to be selling rooms like this. There was no one working reception when we left, just a key box and no phone in the room. Frankly we could not wait to leave anyway. Worst stay anywhere we have booked worldwide, at exorbitant prices.

Liked: The staff were friendly and helpful. The decor was reminiscent of the early 19th century and very charming. We had booked a larger room, which had a 4 poster bed and spa tub. Breakfast was good as was the dinner. The bed was very comfortable.

Good location, value for money,...

Liked: Very friendly and helpful lady who worked at reception in the evening and the following morning in the breakfast room. Good location Parking, although a bit cumbersome to access
Disliked: It was generally good. It’s an old building in an area very exposed to the weather so not surprisingly this showed somewhat.

Would not use again as...

Liked: Location was good and the bar and the meals at the bar was good
Disliked: Rooms too small needs a bit of loving care in the maintenance getting to the room could be a issue for people with mobility issues and lacked the little things you would expect for the price like bedside lights wallpaper not peeling away and mould in the shower tray

The pricing has not kept...

Liked: Perfect location. Very friendly and helpful staff
Disliked: Overpriced. Beautiful reception area. Our first room was very clean and well set up but wallpaper starting to lift. But it was up two flights of stairs one very narrow and down a long narrow hall. However the receptionist kindly moved us to a newly renovated room on the street which was great but no outlook and no wifi. All would be exceptable if it wasn’t by far the most expensive room we booked on our trip to Orkney.
