What guests loved the most

“Close to everything clean and cozy lovely friendly staff good food.”

, Australia

“The whole Shore experience was great. The parking was a little bit 'hairy' as most times the spaces outside the hotel were taken. The free parking across the road was sometimes very full, I suppose with folks at work. Other than that, The Shore and it's staff were a pleasure to visit. Top marks for all staff.”

, United Kingdom

“Comfortable rooms, large beds and good facilities. Great location in Kirkwall. On street parking or off-street public car parks across the street. Did n't stay long enough to test the food but heard it is very good from locals.”
