    Friendly staff, super breakfast. Excellent value for money. Room is a little dated but for the money super. We will visit again.

    The most friendly bunch on the North Atlantic coast imho. If you need a good bed and a smile stay with these folks. They’ll take care of you.

    We chose the Ferry Inn based on convenience and location. 15 minute walk to Scabster/Stromness ferry check in for foot passengers. At check in we were given the option of their ground floor room which was huge and had a handicapped bathroom....
