We booked this hotel knowing what to expect and found it met our expectations. The town of Dounby is a very small village with little of interest for a tourist. The owners of the hotel are very pleasant. The quality of dinner in the hotel restaurant exceeded our expectations.
Pros: It had a vacancy during a very crowded time. Its price was reasonable for Orkney, which is expensive, at least during high season. The food in the restaurant was excellent.
Cons: The room was very small. No lift. It is a long way from Stromness and Kirkwall. The hotel is very old.
