brilliant stay
Liked: absolutely brilliant place, linked with the Kirkwall hotel next door. excellent facilities, lovely staff and the food is amazing
Disliked: the family room is two flights up with no lift unfortuantly which is a bit hectic with a baby, pram and two other children

The Shore Hotel, Kirkwall
Liked: Comfy bed. Well appointed room. Nicely decorated.
Disliked: The Shore Hotel is a separate Hotel but owned by The Kirkwall Hotel. No bar in The Shore Hotel, no restaurant in The Shore Hotel, no staff in the Shore Hotel. ALL available in The Kirkwall - a short walk from The Shore Hotel. Not impressed arriving to a derelict building on first sight. No lights locked doors. Knowing I was arriving late evening- 9pm and still no lights on door opened. Sign on front door.....nothing. After checking with a random person walking their dog and being told to go to the Kirkwall I finally got checked in. Walked back to The Shore Hotel- up 6 1/2 flights stairs ( no lift) and shown to an attic room. Advised Breakfast is served in The Kirkwall 730-930 fab breakfast- but would have been better in same building. The room itself was lovely, comfortable, spotless & warm.On checking both prices for both hotels I personally think The Shore should be much cheaper and advertised as it should be - Room Only.

Potentially a very nice, comfortable room which did not turn out to be as good as it looked.
Liked: A nice, spacious room with a desk and two comfortable seats. A double bed which turned out to be not as comfortable as it looked. There was a ridge in the middle and the length of the mattress which forced me towards the edge of the bed all the time. There was plenty of storage for coats and clothes.
Disliked: The hot water to both the wash basin and shower took literally 5 minutes to arrive. I thought, at first, that there was no hot water. More serious was the fact that at 1:00 a.m. on the second night the toilet started flushing continuously, making a racket as the cistern refilled all the time. I had to get out of bed and finally managed to turn the water to the toilet off with a teaspoon. The room phone did not work and so I could not call for assistance. I did not get to sleep again. The toilet was then unusable.
