Minutes from centre of town and ferry and parking available. Clean, quiet and peaceful house. and a good hostess. We enjoyed our very good breakfasts from the extensive menu provided. From this I would recommend Ferrybank to visitors looking for accommodation in Orkney More

Stayed 3 nights last week and was astounded by the thoughfulness of our host even down to providing umbrellas for each guest. Bed supremely comfortable and breakfast was imaginatively presented and delicious. Great views from rooms which were exceptionally well equipped. Thank you Venus for an outstanding experience! More

This B&B is unbelievable! It doesn't look very large when you approach it from the street, but it is built into the hillside and is surprisingly spacious. Mrs. Hourston is the consumate hostess, welcoming and friendly - the extras in our room were staggering - a mini fridge for the creamers, a kettle, loads of treat (cookies, candies, chocolates, chips,...

However I know this is a matter of taste and is not necessarily a negative point about this B&B as some people might like it. Secondly the breakfast we received was worryingly below standard....

I have stayed at this B and B twice now and cannot recommend it enough. It is 4 star rating but should be 5! Venus Houston tries to cater for all her guests needs from fluffy bathrobes to sewing kit,iron, chocolates for snacks.... and the hugest breakfast you could wish for! Once you have stayed here you wont go anywhere... More

My husband and I loved this friendly place. The room was comfortable, with all amenities provided +, including fresh flowers every day. This B&B was clean and country quaint with a feeling of home.
