I had a fantastic stay at The Stromness Hotel. The hospitality was outstanding, and the staff were warm and welcoming, especially Scott and Wendy, who were always ready to help with local tips and recommendations. They truly made me feel at home. The room was spotless and comfortable, with beautiful views of the harbor and surrounding landscape. Breakfast was excellent, and the location is ideal, just a short walk from the ferry terminal, local shops, and the Stromness Museum. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Stromness!

This place is great, and the host is amazing. The living room is very comfortable with leather armchairs and 2 place dining table. The bedroom is separate and the bed is comfortable. The bathroom is small but functional, nice shower. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we need to cook a good evening meal. Location is on the main "road" through Stromness, a short walk to the centre of town, the harbour and the museum, a short drive to most of the Orkney prehistoric landmarks.

What guests said about Swannay:

10

It is a lovely part of Orkney, very quiet with nice beaches...

It is a lovely part of Orkney, very quiet with nice beaches nearby and near to the north of the island, places such as Birsay which is lovely and has a a little shop with great food. It is not too far from Dounby which has a supermarket for supplies. A real dark sky area for Northern Lights enthusiasts. Evie beach is also nearby which is beautiful and has a small parking area and toilets so is good if you want a swim.
