Arrived on the afternoon ferry and walked the 100 yards to this hotel. Tiny reception area but lovely greeting from the manageress. Dumped our packs and walked up the west coast trail just to stretch our legs. Rain and wind drove us back, setting the standard for most of the rest of the week. The hotel rooms were very comfortable... More

We booked into the Ferry Inn for our last night on Orkney after a weekend in a tent. We had sneaked lunch in the bar the day before and were impressed with both the quality and the quantity of the food. We ate in the " restaurant " on the night of our stay , having been advised to book... More

We have just returned after having spent 4 nights at the Ferry Inn. Our room (in the annex opposite) was well decorated, comfortable and very clean. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We ate dinner in the restaurant 2 nights out of 4 and found the food to be excellent despite it being really busy both nights. A great... More

Went for dinner here on a whim after our first choice was fully booked. I still to this day have no idea whether I was in a restaurant or bar... we were offered a one page bar menu, with very little choice by an extremely over-worked waitress although there was a number of unnecessary staff behind the bar!! Our very... More

I'm surprised by the earlier negative reviews. This little Inn does not pretend to be anything other than what it is. Perfectly situated at the ferry port, this is a very economical (only 31.66 pounds per night per person including breakfast!) and well located place to stay with loads of character. We took a triple room in the annexe which... More

Charged 285 for 3 nights b & B ! Not worth it . Rooms are dated ie not even a mirror to dry your hair in front of ! Had to go to Tesco in Kirkwall to buy a hairdryer ! On our last night in this dump we were told that unless we finished our drinks within 5 mins... More

We visited Orkney to attend a friends wedding and our group organiser picked the Ferry Inn for location and cost. In terms of location in Stromness it is great. It is a two minute walk from leaving the Ferry to the front door of the Inn, we had a car with us but in hindsight we should not have bothered.... More

We booked two nights at the Ferry Inn and were put in the property labelled "guest house" behind the pub. It looks a bit dowdy from the outside but the room was fine - comfortable, clean and quiet despite being in the centre of town. We could put our bikes in a locked shed, which we appreciated. We had a... More

We stayed here for one night in June and had a first floor room above the Inn eating area. The room was ok and had a view towards the ferry terminal. The bathroom was a bit dated. We found the staff to be pleasant. The eating area is typical pub style and the food is reasonable. There is an adjacent... More
