We have been to the Sands before, but it was a few years ago and it was ok.The difference is amazing the A la Carte and Bar Menu are both excellent and it is very difficult to choose. The staff are also a real plus, very friendly and attentive. We were lucky enough to get in the conservatory, as it... More

Our family traveled to Edinburgh, the East and West Highlands and Orkney. This restaurant was hands down the best food (as well as the best prices) of the entire trip. We enjoyed the fish and chips (flavorful and not greasy), salmon served over chick peas and vegetables, scallops (served in entirety with Thai curry). These dishes were accompanied by fresh... More

Excellent hotel, staff, food and owners! Close to Churchhill Barriers and the lovely Italian chapel. 5 minute drive from the Pentland ferry. Lovely clean modern room. A credit to Orkney and great base to see the island.

Delightful, friendly staff, exceptionally clean rooms, good food - perfect. From the minute we arrived we were impressed. Nothing was too much trouble. Very helpful and efficient. Nice family 'suite'. Breakfast and dinner - first class. I'd love to go back again - maybe even for a longer stay.

Despite quite a large scale they managed to provide personal attention. A varied menu but the chef obviously enjoys cooking the local seafood which is certainly worth a try. Reasonably priced and good service.

We booked this lovely hotel for three nights and wished we could have stayed for longer. The room was spotless, well furnished and decorated, the bed was lovely and comfortable, so much so that we kept on oversleeping. We ate at the hotel every night of our stay and were very pleased with the food on offer. At breakfast the... More
