1. West End Guest House

14.2 km from Maes Howe

"A very friendly welcome, they were happy to accommodate our very late (11.30pm) arrival after we travelled there on the ferry. The owners have recently taken it over and in the last few weeks completed an overhaul of the bar/restaurant area which looks lovely. We didn't try the evening meals but the breakfasts were phenomenal, a proper Scottish breakfast that really sets you up for the day. Very friendly hosts helped us to work out what to do during the day and suggested good walks and so...

Top Maes Howe Hotel Reviews

The Orkney Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very accommodating. The large tub with jets was relaxing. The central location was excellent. Hot breakfast and selection was very good. We plan to come back. Highly recommend."

Lindisfarne Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"This is a lovely, clean and inviting B&B - made exceptional by the couple who run it. My room and the whole place felt spacious, the views are lovely (across fields down to the harbour), and also the location is great even if you don't have your own transport. I'm vegan, and not only was there plenty to choose from, but they'd have got in more had my message got through the system soon enough! I had fresh fruit and toast every morning, and having breakfast cooked to order was so nice, too :) The main X1 bus stops a couple of minutes from the B&B, though I ended up walking to and from the harbour and town - partly because on Sunday the buses don't start early enough to get you to the ferry to Hoy(!), and then because I realised how quick the walk is (20 mins there, maybe 25 mins back uphill). But it's an excellent location to see everything from, with or without a car. So many nice touches go up to make this a great place - from things like having proper big cups in the room to make tea, to incredibly comfy beds and a blackout blind. And the hosts are just so lovely: friendly but professional, and obviously happy to share their enthusiasm for the islands they're from. I'd recommend this B&B unreservedly."

The Stromness Hotel

8/10 Good

"Charming older hotel, great location a short walk from the ferry terminal.A bit on the worn out side, but clean and comfortable. No elevator that I saw and there is a 1 story walk up to reception, I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone with mobility issues. The parking at the back is limited and a little intimidating at first. The staff are helpful and friendly."

The Shore

8/10 Good

"The sister hotel to the Shore was where we needed to check in, it is undergoing refurbishment of its facade. The Shore was clean, easy access to the city center, and meet our needs. Parking was easy and the staff went the extra mile to help us with our luggage as there is no elevator at the Shore (we knew that at the time we made our reservation)"
