Good Hotel Guide Review
Heathery tones and tweedy fabrics bring a breath of fresh Orkney air to this family-run hotel in two Victorian villas just beyond the city centre. Luxurious suites have high ceiling, a deep copper bath. Rooms are simpler in Hampton House, opposite, but all are supplied with a comfortable bed, pampering products, home-made shortbread. In Ba’ Bar, rich hues, leather bar stools, monochrome photographs and a wide selection of craft spirits; in the lounges, colourful velvet chairs and sofas. Modern Scottish dishes (crispy haggis bonbons, hand-dived scallops) are available through the day. Buses to the centre; those to the airport stop right outside.
