The Kirkwall Hotel in Orkney offers stunning harbour views and is perfectly situated in the historic town of Kirkwall. This charming Victorian hotel is right on the harbour front, next to the marina and promises a plethora of fabulous walks.
The recently restored 37 bedrooms are themed to this historic fishing town with industrial-style furnishings and warm textiles. Sample a whisky or two at the Highland Park bar which offers over 100 whiskies, distilled right on the doorstep in Kirkwall. Or if you are more of a gin fan you can sample a gin flight. Dine at the Harbour View Restaurant which serves up seafood platters and other Orcadian produce. Guests can enjoy exploring the fabulous beaches, clifftop walks, hills and moorland.
