Cute place with very friendly staff.
Jens-Uwe, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room and location were great and the breakfast was absolutely Devine! The only “negative “ comment is that the shower floor was slippery with no mat or strips on the shower floor to keep you from potentially slipping. Loved everything about this place in terms of our needs as was right across the street from the ferry terminal. No elevators to second floor so be forewarned if you are elderly this might be a negative, but for these two older ladies, we loved the staff and the place.

A character property and right in the heart of the town. The eating area of the bar was nice and interestingly decorated giving the whole place true character.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Great base for exploring Orkney

Ferry Inn is a great place to stay in Stromness, lovely clean rooms and warm friendly bar and restaurant area. Menu is great with lots of local sea food and Orkney delicacies. Good value for money too and varied choice at the bar.

Very convenient for the ferry. Maybe a little overpriced.
