Stromness Apartments ★★★

📍 Milldam, Stromness

"We stayed in this charming flat during our visit to Orkney and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. Situated on the outskirts of Stromness, it’s about a pleasant 20-minute walk into the heart of town. The property, part of a larger house, comes with the convenience of a private parking space right at the door. Inside, the flat was spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully equipped for a comfortable stay. The fully stocked American-style kitchen had everything we needed, from cutlery and cooking utensils to oil, tea, and instant coffee. The bathroom was well appointed, and the bedroom was nice and cosy. Reliable Wi-Fi covered the entire property."

Harbour Cottage
9.8 (43 reviews)

Harbour Cottage ★★★

📍 Harbour Cottage, Ferry Road, Stromness

"Been to Orkney many a time and stayed in different places. We have also stayed in holiday homes all over Europe and I can say that this house was SUPERB. It had everything you could want. We went with another couple who also loved it. It had a very well stocked larder, teas and coffees plus hot chocolate, stock cubes, salt pepper EVERYTHING. I understand people also leave what they cannot use ie. pasta etc..we certainly did.............Every gadget I could want in a kitchen. The decor in the house was lovely along with the cleanliness. The cleaners let us leave our cases in dining room while we went exploring the town. The views from living room were amazing. The small garden was lovely along with our private pier, we sat and had breakfast and also watched the sun go down. We were extremely lucky with the weather. There are so many books to choose from, games, cards, films on CD's also, there is a basket of knitting which my friend and I took up the pins and added some length to what was already knitted, very relaxing. Also a small office area if you needed to work....This is a family owned business (Orcadian) from speaking to Rosemary (owner) to meeting her daughter they were extremely friendly and helpful. Beautiful house in a wonderful setting. I am already planning our next trip there and will definitely be staying on one of Anderson's Harbour Cottages but as it will be just 2 of us, it will be one of the smaller ones."

The Stromness Hotel by Paymán Club ★★

📍 The Pierhead, 15 Victoria St, Stromness

"Perfect location near ferry terminal in Stromness. Parking at the back, with access to the back of the hotel. Very friendly staff. The rooms ans corridors are a little dated, as with many Victorian hotels in the far north of Scotland. But amenities are good, with USB sockets as well as the usual 3 pin and shaver sockets. There was plenty of hot water with good pressure in the shower. I slept so well each of the 3 nights I spent there. It's got a slightly abandoned feel, again as it's a big old building built for grander times."

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast ★★★
"Stayed here for 1 night on a work trip and the thing that stood the most to me is how very clean and well presented the room was. Everything was just so clean and well presented. Very nice modern room and modern bathroom. The host was also very friendly and helpful. 2 minutes away from the ferry is a bonus. Would definitely recommend"

Stromness Apartments ★★★
"The location is a 5 minute drive from Stromness. Dander & Cassie the hosts were helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough to help us. the accommodation had everything we needed, was comfortable, well equipped, with good wife and Netflix. We ate in one night but with town being so close we ate at the Ferry Inn too. Some great walks to be had around the town - I recccommend the coastal walk."

The Stromness Hotel by Paymán Club ★★
"With a multi night stay we were given a room that was a bit more spacious and it was greatly appreciated. While the building is old (1901) it is kept pretty well maintained and looks out over the harbour. Parking is limited but is around back allowing entry on an upper floor - old buildings have no lifts! Clean and neat it made for a good stay."
