2nd stay
Our ferry from Papay was delayed which meant we missed our connecting ferry in Stromness so found ourselves back at The Stromness Hotel. Lovely and helpful staff again. This time round we were in Room 26 which was so much more spacious than our original Room 18 so many thanks for that.
Austin Betker, on 2025-09-04
Very handy place to stay especially if you are taking the ferry from Scrabster late at night
