The hotel has 9 well-appointed rooms - 8 double/twin rooms with en-suite and 1 single room with an external private shower room. There is a further room, which is currently used as owner accommodation, but has the potential to be used as a 10th guest room. The hotel also has a public bar, restaurant and a café area. The café has been successfully run over the years, however this was closed when one of the directors partially retired earlier this year. There is off-road parking available to the rear of the property.

The hotel is located close to some of Orkney's best known Neolithic sights, such as Skara Brae and the Ring of Brodgar, and has been a popular pit stop for tourists, with bus tours carrying cruise ship passengers booking for lunches throughout the summer.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely

    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
