Gorseness Hotels

"Quiet neighbourhood with tons of parking. Easy walk to the downtown and harbour for sites,restaurants and shopping. Best Scottish breakfast on our trip so far. Fresh fruits and berries offered."

"Welcoming, helpful, friendly and sharing. Well kept house with comfortable lodging and easily accessible with transportation. "

"Room was lovely and very clean. Breakfast was fabulous too. Owners are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend and we'd stay again."

"So pleased to find Murray Arms. It was 5 minutes from our arriving ferry. Upon checkin by Suzanne, we were assigned private off-road parking. Our room for 3 nights was comfortable. The staff was exceptionally warm and welcoming for all - babies, dogs, and patrons. The meals in their restaurant were first class. They have dive boats for scallop harvesting. Our scallop dinner was the best EVER!"

"Breakfast was great and we liked the location, near shopping and the bus station. We also liked the Bothy Bar ;-)"

"Hotel was on the quay and is a Pub with rooms. Room we had was a family room so more spacious. Dinner was good and well priced. Kirkwall is a small town so you are near everything from this location."

"One night stay. Bathroom was good with plenty of hot water. Bed could have been better and there was no where to sit besides the bed. "

"Fantastic location, farmland but walking distance to town. Home-like."

"1 The Noust is a perfect haven for a quiet retreat and to explore mainland Orkney. The cottage is extremely well equipped, especially the kitchen. The storage heaters made the cottage just comfortable, without being 'too hot.' There are some lovely walks around the village and a local shop for any groceries required. The host provides excellent communication regarding booking, key access, the cottage itself and answered any queries within mins. For us, this cottage was a special find and we hope to return one day. Thank you Catriona. "
