“The Orkney Hotel impressed me with its prime location in Kirkwall, making it easy to explore the town. I appreciate a hotel that prioritizes a cooked-to-order breakfast; the haggis came highly recommended, and the bar food held its own. The recent renovations accommodating dogs, combined with the friendly service, certainly caught my attention.”
