What guests loved the most

“Comfortable large room with lake view, friendly helpful staffs, fresh seafood(marinated herring was our favorite! scallops were also nice) Visiting Orkney in November was actually tough but having hot chocolate and homemade shortbread in the warm room was a perfect treat for us who were coming back from the stormy outside. Many restaurants were closed in the off season so good to stay at the hotel with dinner. We stayed 3 nights and had different menu each day.”
