3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2012

Spent one night at the Portland Arms ..a business stay. Very warm comfortable bed and good sized room. The owner/manager seems to do all the work and needs to train his staff/family to attend to customers in a better friendly manner. Saying that the food was good and well cooked and a very adequate breakfast and reasonavle prices at bar.

We visited on a Monday evening. When we arrived there was one other table occupied, however they quickly left and my other half and I were left on our own in the restaurant. Despite this, service was not very quick and the food was not to my taste. I had curry and rice, which came with garlic bread. The rice... More

My partner and I stayed here and were offered one of their larger and more lizurious suites. The price was slightly higher but we thought we'd give it a try. We weren't dissapointed. We looked out onto the countryside and woke to the sound of sheep. A very rural and country experience for us both one that we now look... More

When we walked in we were met by friendly staff who quickly seated us and took our drinks order. The menu is limited but has the basics. I had the Chilli... More

We checked in here on Thursday night after a hard day in the saddle. My room was not obvious to the receptionist, so he put me in the lounge where tea and coffee were waiting for us. Five minutes later he had found me a room but upon checking there were no towels, so I had to chase them up.... More

We stayed at the hotel on our way back to Orkney. We had a room at the top of the building. It was cold when we first went into it, but the radiator soon heated up the room. We were asked if we would like a further electric heater but declined the offer. The evening meal was very good. I... More
