The apartments are in a separate block and it felt more homely than being part of the hotel.

Beautiful spacious room, with spacious modern bathroom and cosy bed. Lovely breakfasts, excellent cosy private bar. Parking close by/out front if you time it right. Staff - amazing! Chef so lovely and lady on breakfast duty also - helped set up so we could watch the All Blacks v England rugby match early in the morning. Chef also showed some interesting local events being the Orca visiting the harbour. Made us feel very welcome. Breakfasts were great - lots of choice

The staff were friendly and helpful. The decor was reminiscent of the early 19th century and very charming. We had booked a larger room, which had a 4 poster bed and spa tub. Breakfast was good as was the dinner. The bed was very comfortable.

Stromness itself felt like a beautifully preserved jar of history and the Stromness Hotel was a perfectly fitting piece within it. We arrived quite late, but the staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth check-in for us. The rooms, though simple, were cozy and well-appointed.

    I liked that it was a traditional guest house....no frills just a comfortable and very clean room with a fantastic breakfast. Dounby is near to some major archaeological sites which are all well signposted. Stromness is not far from Dounby and is where the Ferry from Scrabster arrived and departs. Stromness is a beautiful wee town - I much preferred it to Kirkwall. For any visitor I would advice getting a good map and reading up a bit before you decide where you want to visit, depending on your interests. Also....just drive around and you'll find places .....nowhere is very far to drive and you'll come across interesting vistas and great craft shops everywhere.

    Dounby is situated at a crossroads with an hotel, post office, pharmacy, co op supermarket and a couple of craft shops. Everything you need for stay of a couple of nights.However there is no choice of other places to eat and drink unless you drive to the Merkister Hotel a couple of miles up the road and it's not always possible to have meal there as we discovered because they can be booked up.
