our room was in a separate building from the main hotel, but the room was excellent, clean, comfortable and well maintained. We had breakfast in the main hotel, and also dined there one evening. The food was well cooked and tasty

Hotel was on the quay and is a Pub with rooms. Room we had was a family room so more spacious. Dinner was good and well priced. Kirkwall is a small town so you are near everything from this location.

The Ferry Inn is a combination hotel/pub with breakfast included on our booking. We ate dinner both nights in the pub restaurant. The food was good & they had several choices for each course. The location was excellent for the Scrabaster/Stromness ferry & it was easy to navigate to Kirkwall & all the sights.

Karen was fantastic, as Hotels.com had failed to book the room properly. We were offered a fantastic room which was clean and comfortable, and well located for the ferry, Stromness and the main island of Orkney. Excellent food

I highly recommend the Ferry Inn to travelers to Stromness. It is very convenient to the ferry and the staff are extremely helpful. We had dinner and breakfast in the hotel and both meals were excellent. Our room was large with few steps which was very helpful since I had mobility issues during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

Enjoyed my stay. It was fireworks night and I could see the harbour display from my room window. The room was clean and the bed was a decent size for a single. The food was really good too.

Stromness Ferry Inn is the ideal location for a few days on the Orkneys. We were very happy with the location and the room. The staff is excellent and the Inn is obviously very well run. The bar is great and the dining room is not to be missed. Make your reservations early though, the place was packed each evening with locals and visitors alike. Shout out to Rose!!
